What will subject TEF look like? So far, the pilot has been carried out in great secrecy, under the leadership of Kay. Last year, both top down and bottom up approaches were trialled, this year OfS will test a “specific assessment” model with refinements. Quite what will come out of this is a matter of considerable interest – it could add a level of refinement and value to a TEF often criticised as broad brush, but it also runs the risk of venturing into the statistical noise of small samples and low-quality data.
