Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen:

Student evaluation is mandatory in Norwegian higher education and is meant to be used in quality assurance and enhancement. This study investigates pedagogical and organisational dimensions of current evaluation practice to better understand how evaluation is carried out and used. The study comprises semi-structured interviews with academics, focus group interviews with students, and document analysis. The study reveals that organisational and pedagogical dimensions of evaluation practice limit use for improvement purposes. A noteworthy gap is revealed between intended use and practice articulated in the quality assurance system, and the actual use described by the academics and students. Student evaluations seem to be structured towards quality assurance rather than quality enhancement. A guiding framework for a more student-learning-centred evaluation practice is developed for universities that want to strengthen educational enhancement and learning focus in evaluation practice.
