Abstract
Teaching and learning take place in a whole system, which embraces classroom, department and institutional levels. In a ‘good’ system, all aspects of teaching and assessment are tuned to support high-level learning, so that all students are encouraged to use higher-order learning processes. Biggs, J. (2003) Education mainly involves teaching, learning and assessment. Teaching is the foundation; learning is the guarantee; testing is the intermediary. The three aspects are indispensable, linked to each other and dialectical unity.
The present research discusses the concept of constructive alignment theory (Biggs, 1996) with focusing the learning outcomes, teaching methodologies and assessment procedure as they are interrelated in the whole educational system.
Through the perspectives in the literature reviewed on the alignment theory, it is observed that making effective examination reform can strengthen the system of instruction. Examination reform helps us to understand the importance, purpose and function of the examination, and can change the teachers’ and students’ concept on examination. An important concept of modern education assessment is that evaluation is not to prove but to improve. Zhang, T., Liu, M. and Zang, Z.W. (2014).
