    The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. Here you will find lists of regional and national accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education, functions of accreditation in U.S. higher education, and the oversight provided by the U.S. Deptartment of Education on accrediting bodies.

    This article is an in-depth review of how the Kirkpatrick model can be adapted to help develop and assess training in higher education. It discusses all four levels of the model and assesses not only ways that the Kirkpatrick model can provide feedback to the educators, but also to the institutions of higher learning.

    This workshop handout looks specifically at higher education (specifically in the medical field) and helps to evaluate training design as targets both students as learners, as well as educators as learners. This is a great resource for helping to identify what kinds of level 4 outcomes might be tracked in higher level/medical education.

Metacognition and Student Learning - Do Your Job Better - The Chronicle of Higher Educa... - 0 views

  • Poor metacognition means that some terrible yet hopeful singers on American Idol are unable to assess their own weak vocal talents. And it means that some students have a mistaken sense of confidence in the depth of their learning.
  • "Poor metacognition is a big part of incompetence," he explained. "People who are incompetent typically do not realize how incompetent they are. People who aren't funny at all think they are hilarious. People who are bad drivers think they are especially good. You don't want to fly on a plane with a pilot who has poor metacognition. A lot of reality shows like American Idol highlight people with poor metacognition for entertainment. Everyone knows people who are seldom in doubt but often wrong."
  • The actual exam should never be the first time the faculty or the students get feedback about the actual level of student understanding."
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • An understanding of metacognition, and the influence it has on our students, gives us one more reason to shift our courses away from providing students with a steady diet of lectures, punctuated by a few high-stakes exams.
  • And, as Chew pointed out in response to an early draft of this essay, students frequently don't ask questions precisely because their poor metacognitive skills have convinced them that they understood the lecture perfectly.

    Interesting article aimed at secondary faculty members to enhance their teaching skills. The author drew an interesting and humorous analogy between metacognition and American Idol (and other reality shows). Which I think it's certainly something everyone can relate to having seen at least a few minutes of the "bad singers" that kick off each season of American Idol. I think this is relatable because I'm sure everyone would agree that at some point in our lives we have mistaken ourselves for being better at something than we really are...which is the opposite of metacognition. In contrast, to continue with the Idol example, if one is able to recognize how poor of a singer they are, then in turn take voice lessons, practice singing often, listening to their singing and critiquing and making a plan to fix the issue and ultimately change course to actually become a better singer- that is the basis of metacognition. This article also illustrates several ways to enhance the classroom activity to help both students and instructor assess understanding.

  • It can be a helpful educational tool, as it provides a vehicle for combining digital media with innovative teaching and learning practices. Apart from building on learners’ technology skills, digital storytelling encourages additional educational outcomes (Dakich [2008]). It enhances learners’ motivation, and helps teachers in building constructivist learning environments that encourage creative problem solving based on collaboration and peer-to-peer communication. In addition, digital storytelling can be used to facilitate integrated approaches to curriculum development, and engage learners in higher order thinking and deep learning
