Abstract
Learning expectations and the strategies students use in a course are influenced by assessment
techniques, an important aspect of course design. The study analyzed the effect of assessment
components on lecturers’ assessment practices in Mogadishu higher education institutions. Design,
interpretation, and administration were hypothesized as predictors of the university’s staff
assessment practices. The study only used quantitative data. A questionnaire was used to collect
data from 314 university academic staff or lecturers. Data were analyzed using the statistical
package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20. The three indicators included in the model (design,
interpretation, and administration) were found to be important predictors of the assessment
practices of the university academic staff using multiple regression analysis. A multiple regression
analysis reveals that design has a greater influence on the academic staff's assessment practices
than administration and interpretation, while all were significant predictors. To improve the
assessment practices of higher education institutions in Mogadishu, Somalia, it was concluded that
universities should support their academic staff in developing their academic skills in designing,
interpreting, and administering their assessments.
