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.

Language use in kindergarten science lessons: language production and academic language during a video feedback coaching intervention in kindergarten science lessons     

Astrid Menninga  Marijn van Dijk  Annemie Wetzels  Henderien Steenbeek  Paul van Geert 《Educational Research and Evaluation》2017,23(1-2):26-51

This paper aims to gain insight into language production and academic language of 4- and 5-year-old students and their teachers in the course of a teacher intervention during kindergarten science education. The study is based on videotaped classroom observations, and specifically focuses on the academic language use of students (N_intervention = 18, N_controls = 26) and teachers (N_intervention = 5, N_controls = 5). The results suggest that this general teacher intervention yields interesting changes in language use and production. Patterns of change over time confirm the idiosyncratic and non-linear nature of these changes. Science lessons represent an appropriate context in which to acquaint students with academic language, which can be used as a basis to build upon more sophisticated language skills.  相似文献

Increasing the uptake of peer feedback in primary school writing: findings from an action research enquiry     

Stuart Ian Boon 《Education 3-13》2016,44(2):212-225

This article reports on how an action research strategy was used to increase children's uptake of feedback during peer assessment in primary school writing. Several different strategies were used in the study that had been successful in increasing students’ uptake of peer feedback in contexts such as higher education. In order to evaluate how successful these actions were, several different data collection methods were drawn upon to triangulate findings including children's work, observations, informal interviews and mind mapping. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data generated. Findings are consistent with those from research in other settings which suggest that pupils make better use of feedback if: it is task-involving and useful; there is sufficient time given for them to act on it and discuss it with their peers; and they are asked to reflect on how it has been used to improve the quality of the assessed work.  相似文献   

Conventional or sustainable? Chinese university students’ thinking about feedback used in their English lessons     

Ying Zhan 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2019,44(7):973-986

Feedback has been increasingly conceptualised as a dialogical process where students interpret the provided information through interaction with comment providers and use it to enhance their learning. A major challenge for the development of sustainable feedback is closely related to how students think about it. This study explored how 25 Chinese university students made sense of instructor and peer feedback following their English group presentations. The findings reveal that most of the participants perceived more judging and encouraging functions of feedback than its improving functions, which reflected their conventional thinking about feedback. Variation also existed in the perceived functions of instructor and peer feedback. Imbalanced power relations, face, group harmony and instructors’ feedback practice as well as students’ past learning and assessment experiences appeared to inhibit the participants from viewing feedback in a sustainable way. This study sheds light on college students’ complex thinking about feedback in a non-Anglophone context which has been neglected in the feedback literature, and has implications for educators and researchers in facilitating sustainable feedback in the Chinese context and the non-Chinese contexts where Chinese students study.  相似文献   

Assessing postgraduate student perceptions and measures of learning in a peer review feedback process     

Genevieve Simpson  Julian Clifton 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2016,41(4):501-514

Peer review feedback, developed to assist students with increasing the quality of group reports and developing peer review skills, was added to a master’s level Climate Change Policy and Planning unit. A pre- and post-survey was conducted to determine whether students found the process a valuable learning opportunity: 87% of students responding to the post-review survey indicated they saw benefit in both developing and receiving peer review feedback. Peer review design minimising the potential for plagiarism resulted in low levels of student concern surrounding plagiarism. Marks allocated by students were valid (consistent with the lecturer) and were generally reliable; however, distribution of marks had a higher variance where group report quality was low. Training on completing the peer review template could result in more reliable feedback. Consistent with the literature, the feedback developed during the peer review process focused on style and presentation preferentially to content. Seven out of eight group reports improved between report submissions, with all groups responding to peer review feedback. Peer review feedback and changes made to group reports indicated students had limited capacity to judge the quality of referencing and critical analysis.  相似文献

刘向政  侯卉君 《怀化学院学报》2006,25(12):159-161

自上世纪末,我国语言学界掀起了研究认知语言学热潮,尤其是对认知语境与关联理论在对语言教学的指导方面推崇备致,而多媒体在语言教学中的作用却受到了某些人士的质疑。本文的目的在于揭示认知语境和关联理论在指导教学中的局限性,并通过多媒体与传统教学手段进行比照,说明多媒体教学比传统教学更能有效地解决认知语境与关联理论的这一局限性。  相似文献   

西方宪政的文化考察及其启示     

李义松  吴国振 《常熟理工学院学报》2007,21(11):39-43

中国宪政陷入困境的一个主要原因是:我们对于宪政理念的整体把握乏力,对于西方党政的历史及其意义缺乏足够了解和体悟。经过对作为范本的西方宪政进行文化的历史考察,可以认为,保障人权、限制国家权力、政治容纳性、自由、民主和法治,是西方宪政发展历程中形成的历史品格。西方宪政的历史道路给我们的启示是:宪政需要一定的社会、经济、文化条件;根植于不同文化土壤的宪政,可以具备不同的形式、价值内涵和国家政治形式;缺乏法治和权利文化资源的中国,需要寻找一个更高层次的价值,以统摄文化交融时代的宪政理论和实践。  相似文献
