“…Given this, the evaluation of learners enables teachers to initiate effective decision making and judgment in regards to the value, quality, and worth of response.

It is, therefore, significant to understand the sense of differences in socio-economic, cultural, and gender backgrounds that allow diverse students to acquire opportunities aimed at demonstrating the extent of their skills, knowledge, and abilities.…”

Article HistoryCulture is not a new concept within the social sciences. In fact, culture has been widely discussed for years to investigate how it has evolved and how it still affects human communication. The aim of this article is to introduce the concept of culture and illustrate its relevance in key theoretical discussions and debates in the social sciences. Also, it aims based on secondary research evidence to highlight how differing cultural factors affect learning and assessing in higher education. The paper concludes that it is essential for assessors to consider the unique cultural characteristics when assessing their students' performance. Contribution/Originality:This study contributes in the existing literature on the role of culture in education by focusing on assessment. It is one of very few studies which suggests that assessing students' performance should not take place independent of cultural particularities and sets the ground for designing alternative, culturally responsive assessment tools.
