Collaborative assessment (Sambedömning)

Teachers assessing student work together to increase consistency in grading.

Sambedömning (collaborative assessment) means that multiple teachers assess the same student work or test in order to calibrate their judgement and increase assessment equity.

Forms

Collaborative assessment can take place within a school (subject teams assess together), between schools in a municipality, or nationally (central marking of national tests). Research shows that collaborative assessment reduces variation in grading and strengthens teachers' assessment competence.
