Faculty development for undergraduate student programmatic assessment: a Brazilian multi-centered longitudinal study

Our findings indicate that well-designed traditional FD activities focusing solely on student assessment enhance teacher's knowledge and skills in this area, an effect that persists in the long-term. Other improving effects were observed on overall participants' performance and may represent broader positive impacts on teachers and their institutions. Additionally, it is likely that these FD activities may contribute to changes in the participating institutions leading to a more constructive and meaningful approach to student assessment.
