Comment: It seems very unlikely that this is in fact a notable concept as yet, and this is illustrated by the fact that four out of the five sources are about constructive alignment rather than constructive disalignment (this includes source 4, which purportedly verifies the definition of the term constructive disalignment but doesn't mention it anywhere.There might be a mention of it in the article Constructive alignment, provided there is a source other than source 5 in this draft (the only one that is about constructive disalignment), which is not independent. bonadea contributions talk 18:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Constructive disalignment, developed in response to Biggs' constructive alignment [1][2][3]occurs when all elements of a university programme’s teaching, learning, and assessment processes and learning outcomes/competences are not clearly and fully aligned with the fundamental purpose of the course.[4] Essentially, constructive disalignment is where there is a mismatch, or a number of mismatches, between what the programme aims to do (its espoused aims), how it achieves those aims through teaching, learning and assessment processes, and what the students and other key stakeholders, such as employers, expect, want and need it to do. Wherever there is constructive disalignment there will necessarily be problems, issues and unresolved tensions leading to stakeholder dissatisfaction.
The term was developed by Dr Andrew G Holmes and Dr Dominic Henri at the University of Hull in 2024.
