STUDENT SELF-EVALUATION: WHAT RESEARCH SAYS AND WHAT PRACTICE SHOWS - 5 views

  • Self-evaluation is defined as students judging the quality of their work, based on evidence and explicit criteria, for the purpose of doing better work in the future.
  • When we teach students how to assess their own progress, and when they do so against known and challenging quality standards, we find that there is a lot to gain. Self-evaluation is a potentially powerful technique because of its impact on student performance through enhanced self-efficacy and increased intrinsic motivation
  • Self-evaluation is judging the quality of your work, based on evidence and explicit criteria, for the purpose of doing better work.

    I won't say that this makes shifting conceptions of assessment in one's own courses less daunting, but I appreciate that it acknowledges the significant demand that changing assessment criteria can put on teachers. I have to admit that lot of the time, when I read about new assessment techniques, they sound interesting but exhausting to implement. We've seen a lot of stage-based models for education/assessment/collaboration/etc., but this one is especially clear and I like the thoroughness of the horror story example.
  •  
    Dan I greatly appreciate your view point on this and can share another horror story with you that actually turned out to be a fairy-tale situation in the end! I'll make a note to discuss in tomorrow's live session. Cheers!

    The more that I read about student centered learning and assessment, the more I realize that this is the direction I have been (slowly, glacially) moving in for years. Thanks for this!

    A couple of comments here: I apologize if the link doesn't open right away. I got the article through PubMed at WHSLibrary. The article presents an interesting approach to the use of Bloom's taxonomy for grading discussion boards integrating collaborative learning process and higher-order thinking. It also does a good job discussing how to evaluate a rubric.,

Rapid Prototyping - 0 views

  •  
    Rapid prototyping uses a process/system to analyze and then develop a solution to a problem or situation. Also involving what is known as spiral prototyping it allows for a solution to be put forth, but continually augmented because of an environment that is in dynamic change.

Assignment, Course, and Programmatic Assessment (M4) - 0 views

  •  
    Here are some insights into how Georgia Tech's Writing and Communication Program theorizes and practices assessment. They are certainly using some "trendy" approaches to assessment and evaluation; students have to compose a self-review essay, for example. Summary from the Website: The Writing and Communication Program is interested in formative and summative assessment in individual classes and in the program as a whole. To create consistent assessment across the entire program, we use a common base rubric (which individual instructors modify to fit their assignments) and an end-of-semester portfolio system.

Student Focused Strategies for the modern classroom - 0 views

  •  
    Discusses the difficulty of changing the educational paradigm to a servant professor instead of a professor led classroom--both virtual and real. How steep will be the learning curve to replace lecture-test evaluation with student driven and student centered needs.

Community of Inquiry Model: Advancing Distance Learning in Nurse Anesthesia Education - 0 views

  •  
    The number of distance education courses offered by nurse anesthesia programs has increased substantially. Emerging distance learning trends must be researched to ensure high-quality education for student registered nurse anesthetists. However, research to examine distance learning has been hampered by a lack of theoretical models. This article introduces the Community of Inquiry model for use in nurse anesthesia education. This model has been used for more than a decade to guide and research distance learning in higher education. A major strength of this model lies in its direct applicability for guiding online distance learning. However, it lacks applicability to the development of higher order thinking for student registered nurse anesthetists. Thus, a new derived Community of Inquiry model was designed to improve these students' higher order thinking in distance learning. The derived model integrates Bloom's revised taxonomy into the original Community of Inquiry model and provides a means to design, evaluate, and research higher order thinking in nurse anesthesia distance education courses.

Dynamic Criteria Mapping (DCM) - 2 views

  •  
    Dynamic criteria mapping (DCM) is a way to develop local standards. Teachers work with colleagues and students to build evaluation criteria. This is a link to a succinct definition developed by the Writing Program at UMass-Amherst, where they practice DCM.

Evaluation and Application of Andragogical Assumptions to the Adult Online Learning Env... - 0 views

  •  
    Andragogy--self-directed learning--is making a comeback, thanks to online education. But why did Malcolm Knowles, its author, and the approach based on educating adults lose interest among educators? This article delves into why it faded from favor and why it's on the rebound.

Instructional System Design: The ADDIE Model - A Handbook for Practitioners - 1 views

  •  
    This is the online ADDIE workbook I used to design a previous workshop. It's a nice step through of the overall process with lots of external resouces. The Instructional System Design Model (ISD) uses five phases (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) for creating both informal and formal learning processes.
