Exploring the connection between deep learning and learning assessments: a cross-disciplinary engineering education perspective

In this paper the literature consists of sub-sections to describe the deep learning and learning assessment themes, their associated components and relevant literature.

Deep learning concept

The deep learning approach involves comprehending the learning material, while the surface learning approach involves memorizing for the sake of passing exams (Tynjälä et al. 2005). Deep learning not only enhances students’ knowledge, but also facilitates the practical application of that knowledge in real-life situations (Ditcher 2001). Student characteristics play a significant role in determining…
