Peer assessment in thesis oral presentation     

Jong-Leng Liow 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2008,33(5-6):525-537

Peer assessment has been studied in various situations and actively pursued as a means by which students are given more control over their learning and assessment achievement. This study investigated the reliability of staff and student assessments in two oral presentations with limited feedback for a school-based thesis course in engineering where the different disciplines ran their own assessment. Staff scores were generally found to be more reliable than student scores, but it was not consistent. The engineering disciplines displayed widely varying differences between the staff and student scores. A large variation in reliability was found for the different disciplines making it difficult to reconcile to a standard school-based overall grading scheme for the course when the reliability of marking was low. The results also showed that the average scores for oral presentations are generally much higher than for written examinations, based on the grade point average. Future research will need to investigate how best to develop a consistent assessment framework for oral presentations and moderation of scores for consistency, particularly for large classes where assessment are done by different groups of staff and students and collated into a single set of marks for the class.  相似文献   

美国基于“标准”的地理教学设计案例评析——以“美国人口密度透视”为例     

ZHANG Sheng-qian LI Jia-qing 《课程.教材.教法》2008,(10)

如何设计出基于标准的地理教学设计案例是目前我国地理教育界尤其是一线地理教师关注的焦点。美国伊利诺伊州教师设计的基于标准的"美国人口密度透视"案例具有注重内容的价值效应、突出教学目标的厘定、优化地理知识的建构、强化地理技能的培养、强调评价的标准参照以及重视知识的迁移应用等特点。它们对于我国正在进行的地理课程改革具有一定的启示和借鉴作用。  相似文献   

新古典主义时期的《失乐园》评论综述     

乔莉萍  赵志勇 《辽宁师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2008,31(2):111-112

约翰·弥尔顿的《失乐园》被视为英国诗歌史上的最宏伟的史诗性作品。新古典主义批评的主要代表人物对这部作品都发表了自己的见解,从而开创了《失乐园》的评论历程。德莱顿,着眼于《失乐园》与古希腊罗马史诗相比较,认为弥尔顿兼有荷马和维吉尔两人的优点;艾迪生就《失乐园》中的人物刻画、史诗的主题性质、诗人丰富的想象力给予了高度评价,同时他也指出了史诗中的不足;新古典主义批评的集大成者约翰逊全面肯定了史诗的道德意义及崇高的风格,但他认为弥尔顿的词汇乖癖、笨拙。这个时期的《失乐园》评论都是以新古典主义理论为根据的。  相似文献

The relationship among achievement goals,standardized test scores,and elementary students’ focus in school          下载免费PDF全文

Martin H. Jones  Christian E. Mueller 《Psychology in the schools》2017,54(9):979-990

The study examined whether an academic, social, or both an academic and social focus might relate with achievement goals and academic achievement. Participants were 412 urban elementary school students. Results suggest that students with an academic focus toward school have more mastery‐approach and less mastery‐avoid achievement goals. Academic achievement (standardized test scores) did not relate with boys’ or girls’ focus toward school. These findings suggest that academic motivation, but not achievement, correspond with self‐perceptions of school as being a place to learn or school as a place for social interactions.  相似文献
