Abstract

This review study investigates the effectiveness of assessment methods in higher education institutions, focusing on the significance of contemporary and innovative methods such as project-based assessments, portfolios, simulations, and collaborative activities. The paper offers instructions for applying efficient assessment methods, policy suggestions for institutions, and potential topics for further study. The results have consequences for improving assessment methods and equipping students for their future professions since the future of assessment in higher education is seen as fertile ground for innovations. A model for effective implementation of the contemporary assessment methods is proposed.
