Staff student partnership in assessment: enhancing assessment literacy through democratic practices     

Susan J. Deeley  Catherine Bovill 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2017,42(3):463-477

In recent years, research and practice focused on staff and students working in partnership to co-design learning and teaching in higher education has increased. However, within staff–student partnerships a focus on assessment is relatively uncommon, with fewer examples evident in the literature. In this paper, we take the stance that all assessment can be oriented for learning, and that students’ learning is enhanced by improving their level of assessment literacy. A small study in a Scottish university was undertaken that involved a range of different adaptations to assessment and feedback, in which students were invited to become partners in assessment. We argue that a partnership approach, designed to democratise the assessment process, not only offered students greater agency in their own and their peers’ learning, but also helped students to enhance their assessment literacy. Although staff and students reported experiencing a sense of risk, there was immense compensation through increased motivation, and a sense of being part of an engaged learning community. Implications for partnership in assessment are discussed and explored further. We assert that adopting staff–student partnership in assessment and more democratic classroom practices can have a wide range of positive benefits.  相似文献   

Schools as sanctuaries: A systematic review of contextual factors which contribute to student retention in alternative education     

Eva O'Gorman  Carol-Anne Murphy 《International Journal of Inclusive Education》2016,20(5):536-551

Early school leaving is an international concern. Previous research indicates that the school context contributes to early school leaving. This systematic review is aimed to gather marginalised young peoples’ perceptions concerning contextual factors that contributed to and interfered with their decisions to stay in alternative education. Twenty-three databases and reference lists of reviews were searched, eliciting 1586 studies, which were then screened. Data from 24 mixed-methods studies that met the inclusion criteria were extracted and synthesised. Findings suggested that alternative schools which provided a sanctuary for students increased student engagement. Schools were sanctuaries when they offered physical, emotional and psychological safe spaces; fostered a sense of community; enabled students to affirm their racial/ethnic pride and employed flexible behavioural supports. Implications for practice and research are discussed.  相似文献   

省际间义务教育不均衡问题的实证研究——基于生均经费的分析指标   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

梁文艳  杜育红 《教育科学》2008,24(4)

省际间义务教育的均衡发展是实现教育公平的关键,在基于生均经费指标的剖后发现我国省际间义务教育不均衡问题相当严重;通过建立多元回归模型的分析,笔者认为,省级政府的投入努力程度不高、"省级财政不中立"是省际间义务教育不均衡问题产生的重要原因;为促进省际间义务教育的均衡发展,中央应加大转移支付力度,制定制度激励省级政府投资义务教育的努力程度,出台科学、合理的公用经费充足性标准,重视公用经费的专项拨款。  相似文献   

Optimal waveband identification for estimation of leaf area index of paddy rice     

Fu-min Wang  Jing-feng Huang  Qi-fa Zhou  Xiu-zhen Wang 《Journal of Zhejiang University. Science. B》2008,9(12):953-963

The objectives of the study were to select suitable wavebands for rice leaf area index (LAI) estimation using the data acquired over a whole growing season, and to test the efficiency of the selected wavebands by comparing them with feature positions of rice canopy spectra. In this study, the field experiment in 2002 growing season was conducted at the experimental farm of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. Measurements of hyperspectral reflectance (350-2500 nm) and corresponding LAI were made for a paddy rice canopy throughout the growing season. And three methods were employed to identify the optimal wavebands for paddy rice LAI estimation: correlation coefficient-based method, vegetation index-based method, and stepwise regression method. This research selected 15 wavebands in the region of 350-2500 nm, which appeared to be the optimal wavebands for the paddy rice LAI estimation. Of the selected wavebands, the most frequently occurring wavebands were centered around 554, 675, 723, and 1633 nm. They were followed by 444, 524, 576, 594, 804, 849, 974, 1074, 1219, 1510, and 2194 nm. Most of them made physical sense and had their counterparts in spectral known feature positions, which indicates the promising potential of the 15 selected wavebands for the retrieval of paddy rice LAI.  相似文献   

Development and Use of the Approaches to Teaching Inventory   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Keith?TrigwellEmail author  Michael?Prosser 《Educational Psychology Review》2004,16(4):409-424

This paper describes how research into approaches to university teaching, from a relational perspective, has been used to develop an inventory to measure the key aspects of the variation in approaches to teaching. The Approaches to Teaching Inventory (ATI) is one of several that derive from the research perspective applied by Marton and colleagues in Europe (Marton, F., Hounsell, D., and Entwistle, N. (eds.) (1997). The Experience of Learning, 2nd edn., Scottish Academic Press, Edinburgh) to student learning. A feature of these inventories is that they measure the response of a group to a particular context, rather than more general characteristics of individuals in that group. Studies using these inventories have consistently shown relations between students' approaches to learning and the quality of their learning outcome. The question of interest to many university teachers is whether there are relations between the way teachers approach their teaching and ways their students approach their learning. This question was answered in a study published in 1999 that used the ATI to show that teacher-focused approaches to teaching were associated with students' reproducing orientations. Subsequent research revealed that in subjects where teachers adopted more student-focused approaches to teaching, their students adopted a deeper approach to learning. Some recent research using the inventory is reviewed along with an analysis of the validity of the ATI. The current version of the inventory is reproduced in this paper.  相似文献

The spread of private tutoring in English in developing societies: exploring students’ perceptions     

M. Obaidul Hamid  Asaduzzaman Khan  M. Monjurul Islam 《Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education》2018,39(6):868-886

ABSTRACT

Although research on private tutoring has gained visibility in recent years, private tutoring in English (PT-E) has not received notable attention. This paper examines students’ perceptions of PT-E in Bangladesh in terms of its necessity and helpfulness, peer pressure in PT-E participation and ethicality of PT-E practice and government intervention. Our analysis of survey data (N?=?572) leads to characterising PT-E and explaining the reasons for its popularity. As a popular learning space beyond formal schooling, PT-E is available in various forms and quality catering to the purchasing power of different social groups. We argue that students may resort to PT-E not because of its proven effectiveness but because of their declining faith in school English teaching. The paper contributes to our understanding of the complex interactions between the curricular (school) and non-curricular (PT-E) settings and family socioeconomic resources in the teaching of English as a globally desired language.  相似文献

高职生诚信状况调查及对策分析   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

骆文炎  李位伟  徐雁玲 《职业技术教育》2006,27(20):104-106

本研究对440名高职生的诚信道德状况进行调查分析。结果显示，高职学生诫信度总体欠佳，特别是在涉及到学生切身利益的考试、求职和毕业设计等方面尤为令人担忧；女生诚信度比男生稍高；大三学生诚信度相对较差；农村学生诚信度相对较高。为此，应从学校、社会两个方面加强对学生的诚信教育。  相似文献
