A Quantum Measurement Paradigm for Educational Predicates: Implications for validity in educational measurement     

Ian Cantley 《Educational Philosophy and Theory》2017,49(4):405-421

Abstract

The outcomes of educational assessments undoubtedly have real implications for students, teachers, schools and education in the widest sense. Assessment results are, for example, used to award qualifications that determine future educational or vocational pathways of students. The results obtained by students in assessments are also used to gauge individual teacher quality, to hold schools to account for the standards achieved by their students, and to compare international education systems. Given the current high-stakes nature of educational assessment, it is imperative that the measurement practices involved have stable philosophical foundations. However, this article casts doubt on the theoretical underpinnings of contemporary educational measurement models. Aspects of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy and Bohr’s philosophy of quantum theory are used to argue that a quantum theoretical rather than a Newtonian model is appropriate for educational measurement, and the associated implications for the concept of validity are elucidated. Whilst it is acknowledged that the transition to a quantum theoretical framework would not lead to the demise of educational assessment, it is argued that, where practical, current high-stakes assessments should be reformed to become as ‘low-stakes’ as possible. This article also undermines some of the pro high-stakes testing rhetoric that has a tendency to afflict education.  相似文献   

Effects of performance feedback valence on perceptions of invested mental effort     

《Learning and Instruction》2017

We investigated whether the valence of performance feedback provided after a task, would affect participants’ perceptions of how much mental effort they invested in that same task. In three experiments, we presented participants with problem-solving tasks and manipulated the presence and valence of feedback between conditions (no, positive, or negative feedback valence), prior to asking them to rate how much mental effort they invested in solving that problem. Across the three experiments–with different problem-solving tasks and participant populations–we found that subjective ratings of effort investment were significantly higher after negative than after positive feedback; ratings given without feedback fell in between. These findings show that feedback valence alters perceived effort investment (possibly via task perceptions or affect), which can be problematic when effort is measured as an indicator of cognitive load. Therefore, it seems advisable to measure mental effort directly after each task, before giving feedback on performance.  相似文献   

Self‐efficacy of prospective Austrian and German primary school teachers regarding the implementation of inclusive education          下载免费PDF全文

Susanne Schwab  Frank Hellmich  Gamze Görel 《Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs》2017,17(3):205-217

This study examined the psychometric properties of the German version of the Teacher Inclusive Education Self‐Efficacy Scale (TIESES). Five hundred and nineteen teacher education students from Austria and 765 teacher education students from Germany participated in the study. Results of a multiple‐group confirmatory factor analysis (for the two countries) confirmed a single factor structure of the scale with partial scalar measurement invariance. Regression analysis showed that self‐efficacy when implementing inclusive education was explained by the motivation to deal with inclusive education during their studies, previous experience with inclusive education in internships, study interest and the country in which the students went to university.  相似文献

中国创新创业协同发展实证研究     

田鸣  张阳  唐震 《科技管理研究》2016,(19):20-26

基于复合系统协调度模型,利用中国2005-2014年创新与创业发展情况的面板数据进行实证分析,结果表明中国创新创业复合系统协同程度虽然不断增强,但整体水平并不高,其主要原因是创业系统发展的不协调.在此基础上,提出维持创新系统健康发展、加大创业系统建设力度和实现创新创业协同发展的政策建议,强调政策制定应当具备适应性和前瞻性,从而为中国创新与创业的协同发展提供科学方法与决策参考.  相似文献   

基于四阶累积量的CSPRIT算法     

沈怡平  侯朝焕  马晓川 《中国科学院研究生院学报》2007,24(3):325-330

分析了基于二阶统计的CSPRIT算法在空间相关高斯噪声环境中存在的问题，提出将四阶累积量与CSPRIT算法相结合，处理一维二元相移键控信号（BPSK）和多元幅移键控信号（MASK），实现信号到达角（DOA）的估计和波束形成器的构造。与基于二阶统计的CSPRIT算法相比，基于四阶累积量的改进算法能够有效抑制空间相关的高斯噪声，提高信号估计精度。计算机仿真验证了该算法的有效性。  相似文献
