Triangulation of language assessment modes: learning benefits and socio-cognitive prospects     

Shima Ghahari  Farzaneh Farokhnia 《Pedagogies: An International Journal》2017,12(3):275-294

An experimental design was adopted in the present study to cross-compare the effect of two formative assessments, namely peer assessment (PA) and teacher assessment (TA), with summative assessment (SA) on the improvement of language learners’ writing skill and self-efficacy. Writing excellence was operationalized by structural (grammar), lexical (word choice), and discoursal (cohesion and coherence) well-formedness. Furthermore, focused group interview was run to elicit the learners' attitudes and preferences toward type of assessment. Three cohorts of proficiency-matched language learners sat for a semester-long experimentation (20 sessions × 90 min = 30 h) and three testing sessions. The results revealed that PA group significantly improved in the writing skill, but TA and SA groups did not. Self-efficacy was not enhanced in any of the assessment groups under study. The interviews and follow-up member checkings indicated that the pupils did not have positive attitudes toward PA and preferred TA. Among the sources of this disfavor, they referred to misunderstanding, lack of knowledge or attention, tiredness, poor handwriting of the assesse, shyness, friendship bias, and even feeling not qualified enough to judge their peers’ tasks. Overall, then, the study reported a mismatch between the students’ actual performance and attitudinal beliefs under different assessment conditions, implying that (a) Iranian students are more inclined toward teacher-dominated pedagogies and (b) triangulation of assessment modes provides more reliable optimal results.  相似文献   

Impact of the National Writing Project's College-Ready Writers Program in High-Need Rural Districts     

H. Alix Gallagher  Nicole Arshan  Katrina Woodworth 《Journal of research on educational effectiveness》2017,10(3):570-595

By 2013, all 50 states and the District of Columbia had adopted college- and career-ready standards in English language arts and mathematics, placing a greater emphasis on argument writing to prepare students for life after high school. Solving the specific problem of how to help teachers teach to new standards for argument writing as well as the broader problem of improving teaching and learning requires continued efforts to understand how to support teachers in making substantial changes in instruction. This paper reports on a district-randomized controlled trial of the National Writing Project's College-Ready Writers Program (CRWP), implemented in high-need rural districts in 10 states, testing one instance of professional development paired with supporting curricular resources and a formative assessment tool designed to shift instruction to align with the new college- and career-ready standards in English language arts classes in Grades 7–10. Researchers randomly assigned 44 rural districts either to receive two years of CRWP or to be in a business-as-usual control group and found positive impacts on teacher practice and student source-based argument writing.  相似文献   

大学英语写作教学中的语篇衔接性词块训练     

黄学静 《滁州学院学报》2010,12(4)

"语篇衔接词块"这一概念取自词块的研究和语篇衔接研究的结合点,指的是篇章内标记不同句际关系的衔接词。大学非英语专业本科生的作文中普遍缺少表示衔接关系的词块,致使文章结构松散,逻辑不清。因此,在教学中,教师应当有目的有系统地将语篇衔接性词块训练融入教学中,不断提高学生的英语作文写作水平。  相似文献

从四种汉字频度的比较看汉字的性质     

司玉英 《内蒙古大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2006,38(3):104-109

汉字是语素文字。语素文字的性质决定了汉字体系的基本特征:字种数量庞大且不确定。由于字种和语素相关,语素和意义相关,任何字频统计结果都只能反映汉语用字的一般状态或基本状态,并带有一定的倾向性,哪些字常用,哪些字不常用,与字频统计所选择的语料内容密切相关,相同内容的语料又与时代背景密切相关;虽然汉字总体数量庞大,但常用字种只有几千。常用字种所记录的语素,都具有很强的构词能力,是构成汉语基本词汇的基础,也是创造新词的中坚,能够满足现代汉语的基本需求(累积频率达到99%)。  相似文献

语文写作教学合作学习模式的构想   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

方锦明  李东斌 《江西教育学院学报》2004,25(4):119-122

学生作文水平的高低是其语文综合素质的体现,提高学生的写作能力和水平,发展学生的语文综合素质,历来都是语文教学改革的中心课题。语文写作教学合作学习模式是一种建立在互助合作基础上的,以异质学习小组为单位、合作学习方法为策略开展语文写作训练的教学组织形式。该教学形式能激发学生写作学习的主动性和积极性,提高学生听、说、读、写的能力,发展学生的语文综合素质,促进学生非认知品质的发展,培养学生的社会合作精神和探索创新精神。  相似文献
