- Itemimperatives of Paradigm Shift from Assessment of Learning to Asseeement for Learning to ensure Quality Higher Education and National Develoment in Nigeria(International Journal of Innovative Research and Advanced Studies (IJIRAS), 2022) Yekeen Abdulmumini, Olarewaju Bashiru Jimoh,and Rasaq SULYMANAbstract: The future and quality of higher education in Nigeria has become a topical issue that is susceptible to different perception among educationists, even ‘semi-educated’ people inclusive. Truly, it is a phenomenon that actually deserves concerns raised from different quarters. However, as much as Nigerians discuss a problem, less they analyse it, and least they attempt to seek solution(s) to such a problem. This paper therefore discussed the imperatives of paradigm shift in the assessment practices in Nigerian tertiary institutions with a view to create awareness among academics at tertiary institutions on the need for assessment for learning. Also, it attempted to establish the link among assessment, learning, quality higher education and national development. Hopefully, if academics in tertiary institutions (comprising the instructors, technologists, and lecturers) have knowledge and skills in ‘assessment for learning’, and adopt it in the teaching-learning process, the quality of graduates turn-out in Nigerian tertiary institutions shall improve. In this way, the quality of our graduates shall be the one that will meet the challenges of twenty-first century for national development.
