ABSTRACT
The digital transformation resulting because of continuous developing of new technologies and the surge of Covid-19 pandemic is evidence of how Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) the world is. To ensure that learning is not disrupted during the pandemic when physical classrooms are closed, educators have to manipulate the available resources and experiment with existing technologies, so that learning and teaching can occur ubiquitously. Nevertheless, teaching and learning are far from complete if they are not accompanied by assessment. Due to this belief, this paper focuses on assessment as part of ubiquitous learning to explore whether the existing assessment prepares the 21st-century generation for their future. Specifically, the objectives of the paper are twofolds: first, it describes the current trend in publication on assessment and u-learning, and second, suggests future assessment for 21st-century learners. The paper begins by discussing the challenges in the assessment of 21st-century learners. This is followed by discussions on the publication trend of research on assessment and the future of assessment for 21st-century learners. Pedagogical and research implications are also discussed.
