ABSTRACT Despite the academic, practical and social benefits, the assessment of group work brings challenges . S In response to feedback from students and staff, a framework and set of guidelines around assessed group work were developed by Dundalk Institute of Technology’s Learning and Teaching sub-committee of Academic Council. This article describes the development, implementation, and inititial evaluation of the framework and its impact. The mixed-method evaluation involved multiple stakeholders -student representatives, academic staff and key informants The evaluation suggests the framework is having a positive impact on both the staff and student experience. Predictably, the greatest impact is on awareness although there is also evidence of impact on lecturers’ practice. The impact at programme level is limited but encouraging early indications exist. Nonetheless, the evaluation demonstrates the need for ongoing support in interpreting and implementing the framework

全校范围内评估小组工作的框架：爱尔兰高等教育机构的发展和初步实施

摘要尽管在学术，实践和社会上都有益处，但对小组工作的评估仍带来挑战。为了响应学生和教职员工的反馈，邓多克理工学院学术委员会教与学分委员会制定了围绕评估小组工作的框架和一套指导方针。本文介绍了框架的开发，实施和初步评估及其影响。混合方法评估涉及多个利益相关者-学生代表，学术人员和主要信息提供者。该评估表明该框架对教职员工和学生的经历都有积极影响。可以预见，最大的影响是对意识的影响，尽管也有证据表明对讲师的实践有影响。在计划一级的影响是有限的，但存在令人鼓舞的早期迹象。尽管如此，评估表明，在解释和实施框架方面需要持续的支持
