Exams are actually a powerful assessment tool. While we would not want every single assessment task to be a pen and paper test, examinations are a valid way of informing teachers how much their students have learned. While other tasks, like practicals or research, tend to measure depth of a topic, exams are a good way to test breadth of knowledge.
As an Economics teacher, if I want to see how well my class has understood the topic of macroeconomic issues, by far the best way will be for me set them a test. Moreover, if I am to draw accurate conclusions about my students from any assessment, I need to be certain that the task was completed by the student and not by a parent, tutor or ChatGPT. It is still quite hard to cheat on a traditional pen and paper task.
Exams also help keep students motivated and accountable. While in an ideal world, the subject matter in every lesson would be so stimulating that the joy of learning would be sufficient to keep students engaged, we know that, in reality, many important and worthwhile concepts are difficult, unexciting and require effort to learn. Teachers know that when students ask, “Will this be in the exam?”, this is code for “How much effort do I need to put into trying to understand this?”. A future examination can often be a powerful motivator for students to persevere in the face of difficulty.
