“…Contextually, the impact of assessment on students' self-regulated learning and resilience have also not been studied. Educational assessment researchers in Ghana have instead been concerned with how classroom assessment practices affect learners' academic achievement (Konadu, 2015;Agbeti, 2014;Hayford, 2007) and how assessment data have been used (Amedahe, 2001;Asamoah-Gyimah, 2021). Critical is the issue of how assessment in tertiary schools in Ghana contribute to creating a hidden curriculum of self-regulation and resilience impartation.…”

The development of students with a formal curriculum should be in balance with the social and cultural aspects of any school, which in this place is the second curriculum or hidden curriculum so as to ensure a holistic development of students. The study sought to explore the positive impact of classroom assessment on students' resilience as a hidden curriculum. Students of University of Education, Winneba were targeted out of which 150 undergraduate students were randomly selected for the study participants. Three instruments were used. They were the unidimensional school assessment perception scale developed by Fisher, Waldrip and Dorman, Resilience scale by Campbell-Sills and Stein and the Self-Regulated learning scale by Tan et al., were adapted and used for the measurement of the constructs of relevance in the study. Data on the two hypotheses were tested using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) method with bias corrected confidence intervals. The finding of the study revealed that assessment was a significant predictor of self-regulated learning and resilience. It was recommended among others that faculty members are encouraged to strengthen classroom formative assessment practices and not to dwell on only summative assessment to take classroom related decisions. The implication of this is that it will create dynamic assessment culture that consolidate both the formal and the positive hidden curriculum benefits.

A critically important balance in educational measurement between practical concerns and matters of technique has atrophied in recent decades, and as a result, some important issues in the field have not been adequately addressed. I start with the work of E. F. Lindquist, who exemplified the balance that is now wanting. Lindquist was arguably the most prolific developer of achievement tests in the history of the field and an accomplished statistician, but he nonetheless focused extensively on the practical limitations of testing and their implications for test development, test use, and inference. I describe the withering of this balance and discuss two pressing issues that have not been adequately addressed as a result: the lack of robustness of performance standards and score inflation. I conclude by discussing steps toward reestablishing the needed balance.
