In the course of today's reading, I came across this statement. I'll spare my comments and let Wiggins speak for himself. He writes that in higher education
"we have a moral obligation to disturb students intellectually. It is too easy nowadays, I think, to come to college and leave one's prejudices and deeper habits of mind and assumptions unexamined - and be left with the impression that assessment is merely another form of jumping through hoops or licensure in a technical trade." (p. 20)
Wiggins, G. (1990) The truth may make you free but the test may keep you imprisoned: Towards assessment worthy of the liberal arts, in: AAHE Assessment Forum, 1990b, Assessment 1990: Understanding the Implications, pp. 15-32
