Classroom action research on formative assessment in a context-based chemistry course     

Johannes Vogelzang  Wilfried F. Admiraal 《Educational Action Research》2017,25(1):155-166

Context-based science courses stimulate students to reconstruct the information presented by connecting to their prior knowledge and experiences. However, students need support. Formative assessments inform both teacher and students about students’ knowledge deficiencies and misconceptions and how students can be supported. Research on formative assessments suggests a positive impact on students’ science achievement, although its success depends on how the formative assessment is implemented in class. The aim of this study was to provide insights into the effects of formative assessments on achievement during a context-based chemistry course on lactic acid. In a classroom action research setting, a pre-test/post-test control group design with switching replications was applied. Student achievement was measured in two pre-tests, two post-tests and a retention test. Participants were Grade 9 students from one secondary school in the Netherlands. Repeated-measures analysis showed a significant effect of formative assessments on students’ achievement. During the implementation of the formative assessments, intriguing discussions emerged between students, between students and teacher, and between teachers. Adding formative assessments to context-based approaches reinforces their strength to meet with the current challenges of chemistry education. Formative assessments affect students’ achievement positively and stimulate feedback between students and teacher(s).  相似文献   

Undergraduates and the development of argument     

Naz Wasim 《美中教育评论》2007,4(3):31-38

This article emphasizes the need to encourage undergraduate students to develop arguments, which involves enhancing their analytical skills and capacity for critical thinking, across disciplines regardless of level. It argues that these skills, required by the Quality Assurance Agency＇s （QAA） benchmarks, are developed not by instruction but by engaging with the philosophic process that leads to the deep learning. This process of learning is based on a dialectical approach, viewing dialogue with colleagues, primary texts and written assignments, as central to developing an inductive argument and a critical perspective. This article proposes an analytical framework to analyze the extent to which a tutor is facilitating the development of argument. It suggests that while, if required one must provide students with explicit guidelines about this process, nevertheless this practice is problematic because of the inherent tension between explicit teaching and deep learning, which facilitates the acquisition of these analytical skills.  相似文献   

Evaluating a technology supported interactive response system during the laboratory section of a histology course          下载免费PDF全文

Vera D. Rinaldi  Nancy A. Lorr  Kimberly Williams 《Anatomical sciences education》2017,10(4):328-338

Monitoring of student learning through systematic formative assessment is important for adjusting pedagogical strategies. However, traditional formative assessments, such as quizzes and written assignments, may not be sufficiently timely for making adjustments to a learning process. Technology supported formative assessment tools assess student knowledge, allow for immediate feedback, facilitate classroom dialogues, and have the potential to modify student learning strategies. As an attempt to integrate technology supported formative assessment in the laboratory section of an upper‐level histology course, the interactive application Learning Catalytics^TM, a cloud‐based assessment system, was used. This study conducted during the 2015 Histology courses at Cornell University concluded that this application is helpful for identifying student misconceptions “on‐the‐go,” engaging otherwise marginalized students, and forming a new communication venue between students and instructors. There was no overall difference between grades from topics that used the application and grades from those that did not, and students reported that it only slightly helped improve their understanding of the topic (3.8 ± 0.99 on a five‐point Likert scale). However, they highly recommended using it (4.2 ± 0.71). The major limitation was regarding the image display and graphical resolution of this application. Even though students embrace the use of technology, 39% reported benefits of having the traditional light microscope available. This cohort of students led instructors to conclude that the newest tools are not always better, but rather can complement traditional instruction methods.

Exit cards: creating a dialogue for continuous evaluation     

Mazna Patka  Jennifer Wallin-Ruschman  Tenille Wallace  Candice Robbins 《Teaching in Higher Education》2016,21(6):659-668

This study explored the use of Exit Cards, which are formative evaluations of student knowledge and instruction undertaken at every class meeting. Its results are based on Exit Card data from two undergraduate research methods courses. Thematic analysis indicated that students used Exit Cards to communicate (1) what they learned, (2) challenges with course material, (3) experiences with peers, (4) requests for help, (5) challenges with coping, and (6) successes. While the present study is an initial exploration of the use of Exit Cards, it contributes to knowledge on the utilization of informal formative assessments.  相似文献

基于行动导向教学法的等级制过程化考核初探     

刘峰  匡万利 《青岛职业技术学院学报》2011,24(4):40-42

行动导向教学法作为世界职业教育教学理论中的一种思潮,出现于20世纪80年代,并于90年代末被引入我国。该法已被许多职业技术院校相继使用,但其在实践中的应用及效果受到若干条件的限制,尤其是考核方面。因此,要充分发挥其在职教领域的作用,必须对其以等级制过程化考核为主的考核方法进行分析、探讨。  相似文献   

大学英语教学中形成性评价的运用     

张贵芳  郭莉 《思茅师范高等专科学校学报》2011,27(2):107-110

大学英语作为高等院校的公共必修课,是培养高素质应用型人才必需掌握的一门知识。解决高等院校学生消极的英语学习状况,激发英语学习兴趣和主动性,除了改革传统的英语教学模式之外,还要改变单一的终结性评价方式,实施与教学模式相适应的形成性评价方式。关注学习者学习过程的形成性评价能够激发学习者英语学习的主动性,符合学生的个体差异性,有利于提高英语学习的效率。高等院校普遍存在的英语学习状况为形成性评价的实施提供了可能性。  相似文献
