Abstract
Assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning. There have been many research
studies worldwide conducted on assessment, and specifically focusing on assessment in
higher education. Many international research studies focus on the importance of teachers'
assessment beliefs and practices. However, this topic has not been researched in
Kazakhstan. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore teachers‟ assessment beliefs
and practices of assessment approaches in one university in Oral town of Kazakhstan. The
case study design was conducted, and it enabled the researcher to undertake an in-depth
exploration of the topic in one university in Oral. Purposefully selected five university
teachers were interviewed, and teachers‟ syllabuses were reviewed to gather data. The
study thus presents interesting findings about the university teachers‟ assessment beliefs
and practices. The findings contribute to the body of knowledge in this field and also offer
some key practice and policy implications
