About Lecturer
Professor Yan Zi is an RGC Senior Research Fellow and an Honorary Professor at the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning at Deakin University. He holds a PhD in educational measurement from James Cook University, Australia. His research primarily focuses on two interrelated areas: educational assessment in both school and higher education settings, and Rasch measurement. Professor Yan has successfully secured five GRF and two QEF projects. Professor Yan’s recent publication, ‘Student Self-assessment as a Process for Learning’, is the first systematic account of student self-assessment research, including its conceptualisation, measurement, predictors, relationship with other learning concepts, and impact on learning outcomes and interventions. He edited the book, ‘Assessment as Learning: Maximising Opportunities for Student Learning and Achievement’, which updates new theoretical perspectives regarding assessment-as-learning and re-positions it in relation to education reform. He is also the co-author of the 4th edition of the book, ‘Applying the Rasch Model: Fundamental Measurement in the Human Sciences’. This book is a classic in the field and a bestseller in academic circles
