Reliable, consistent assessment process that produces comparable assessment grades between assessors and institutions is a core activity and an ongoing challenge with which universities have failed to come to terms. In this paper, we report results from an experiment that tests the impact of an intervention designed to reduce grader variability and develop a shared understanding of national threshold learning standards by a cohort of reviewers. The intervention involved consensus moderation of samples of accounting students’ work, with a focus on three research questions. First, what is the quantifiable difference in grader variability on the assessment of learning outcomes in ‘application skills’ and ‘judgement’? Second, does participation in the workshops lead to reduced disparity in the assessment of the students’ learning outcomes in ‘application skills’ and ‘judgement’? Third, does participation in the workshops lead to greater confidence by reviewers in their ability to assess students’ skills in application skills and judgement? Our findings suggest consensus moderation does reduce variability across graders and also builds grader confidence.  相似文献

Improving The Quality of Education Through School-Based Management: Learning From International Experiences     

Anton De Grauwe 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》2005,5(1):269-287

School-based management is being increasingly advocated as a shortcut to more efficient management and quality improvement in education. Research, however, has been unable to prove conclusively such a linkage. Especially in developing countries, concerns remain about the possible detrimental impact of school-based management on school quality; equity among different schools in the same system; the motivation of and relationships between principals and teachers; and financial as well as administrative transparency. The present study defines school-based management and, in view of its implementation in different world regions, examines some of its advantages and disadvantages. In particular, the author explores the strategies which must accompany school-based management in order to ensure a positive impact on quality. These are found to include (1) guaranteeing that all schools have certain basic resources; (2) developing an effective school-support system; (3) providing schools with regular information on their performance and advice on how they might improve; and (4) emphasizing the motivational element in the management work of the school principal.  相似文献

白话联有两类 ,一类是白话律联 ,另一类是白话非律联。白话律联的存在体现了人们在改革对联所使用的语体时 ,对文言联旧有声律规则的留恋和对韵律美的执着追求 ;而白话非律联则有彻底挣脱平仄束缚的趋势  相似文献

马德鸿 《四川师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2002,29(2):34-37

我国刑事诉讼法赋予了法官有进一步查清真实的庭外调查权力 ,以利于澄清审判中的疑点。但这在客观上扩大了法官的审判权力 ,容易导致司法实践中的不当操作 ,损害司法公正。因此 ,应从完善司法理念和规范庭外调查权等方面来健全这项制度  相似文献

Onset Entropy Matters – Letter-to-phoneme Mappings in Seven Languages     

Susanne?R.?BorgwaldtEmail author  Frauke?M.?Hellwig  Annette?M.?B?De?Groot 《Reading and writing》2005,18(3):211-229

Alphabetic orthographies vary in the (in)consistency of the relations between spelling and sound patterns. In transparent orthographies, like Italian, the pronunciation can be predicted from the spelling, in contrast to opaque orthographies such as English, where spelling–sound correspondences are often inconsistent. The pronunciation of English vowel letters is in particular very ambiguous. In this paper, we provide a cross-linguistic investigation of orthographic transparency at the word-initial letter–phoneme level, resulting in ranked metrics for the seven languages investigated- Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, and Portuguese, expressed as entropy values. We focus on the contributions of vowels and consonants towards the overall orthographic transparency and provide evidence that deviations from consistent word-initial 1:1 mappings between letters and phonemes influence reaction times in naming tasks. Implications for theories of visual word recognition and speech production will be discussed.  相似文献
