Despite the success of academic advising dashboards in several higher educational institutions (HEI), these dashboards are still under-explored in Latin American HEI's. To close this gap, three different Latin American universities adapted an existing advising dashboard, originally deployed at the KU Leuven to their own context. In all three cases, the context was the main ruling factor to these adaptations. In this paper, we describe these adaptions using a framework that focuses on four different elements of the context: Objectives, Stakeholders, Key moment and Interactions. Evaluation of the adapted dashboards in the three different Latin American universities is conducted through pilots. This evaluation shows the value of the dashboard approach in different contexts in terms of satisfaction, usefulness and impact in academic decision-making and advising tasks. The main contribution of this paper is the systematic reporting of the adaptations to an academic advising dashboard and showing the value of an academic advising dashboard on academic decision-making and advising tasks.  相似文献   

Dialogic processes that enable student teachers' learning about pupil learning in mentoring conversations in a Lesson Study field practice     

《Teaching and Teacher Education》2018

This study investigates dialogic processes in student teachers' mentoring conversations in field practice, where Lesson Study (LS) was used as a context for establishing a dialogic learning community in one student group in science. We apply an analytical framework associated with Sociocultural Discourse Analysis to identify utterances that have the potential to create a dialogic space and contribute to ‘interthinking’ among the participants. The findings show the important role of the mentor teacher as a facilitator and a ‘knowledgeable other’, challenging the student teachers to reflect on chosen activities using predictions and detailed observations related to pupils' learning.  相似文献

形成性评估应用于大学英语听力教学的绩效研究     

金飞  许丽芹 《池州学院学报》2020,(1):135-138

实验研究得知,相较于终结性评估,形成性评估应用于大学英语听力教学不仅能够更为有效地激发和提高学生的学习动力,而且更能有效地提升听力学习绩效;形成性评估更能激发学生的听力学习自主性和合作性,提高其听力自主学习能力和合作学习能力.形成性评估能促使教师转变教学方式,改进听力教学,对提高教学质量和教学绩效有一定的意义.  相似文献   

Exploring factors that improve mathematics achievement in Brunei     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2019

The low pass rate in Brunei Year 13 mathematics is a source of concern for many stakeholders. Success in mathematics is required for students wishing to attend university and pursue courses in the sciences and technology. Many different factors contribute to success and failure in mathematics. This field survey (N = 330 randomly selected Year 13 students representing 179 females and 151 males) determined the extent to which coping mechanisms, study strategies, learning styles, and self-efficacy were related to academic achievement in mathematics. Stepwise multiple regression analysis with backward elimination identified six statistically significant main effect variables with links to mathematics achievement (task-oriented coping, textbook reading, concentration, self-efficacy, time management, and activist learning style). Two-way interactions of the male and female genders with deep processing and reflector learning styles were also significantly associated with mathematics achievement. Other significant interaction variables were beneficial to both genders.  相似文献

论20世纪的《文选序》研究     

王立群 《阜阳师范学院学报(社会科学版)》2000,(4)

20世纪的“文选学”研究曾经出现过三次关于《文选序》的讨论。这三次研讨,使“选学”界对萧统的文学思想,《文选》的选录标准、《文选》与《文心雕龙》、《诗品》、《宋书·谢灵运传论》的关系诸问题均大大深入。回眸这一历史,可使学界从一个特定的角度对20世纪的“选学”研究作一颇有意义的回顾与总结。  相似文献   

Pathways from parental stimulation of children’s curiosity to high school science course accomplishments and science career interest and skill     

Adele Eskeles Gottfried  Kathleen Suzanne Johnson Preston  Allen W. Gottfried  Pamella H. Oliver  Danielle E. Delany  Sirena M. Ibrahim 《International Journal of Science Education》2016,38(12):1972-1995

Curiosity is fundamental to scientific inquiry and pursuance. Parents are important in encouraging children’s involvement in science. This longitudinal study examined pathways from parental stimulation of children’s curiosity per se to their science acquisition (SA). A latent variable of SA was indicated by the inter-related variables of high school science course accomplishments, career interest, and skill. A conceptual model investigated parental stimulation of children’s curiosity as related to SA via science intrinsic motivation and science achievement. The Fullerton Longitudinal Study provided data spanning school entry through high school (N?=?118). Parental stimulation of curiosity at age 8 years comprised exposing children to new experiences, promoting curiosity, encouraging asking questions, and taking children to a museum. Intrinsic motivation was measured at ages 9, 10, and 13 years, and achievement at ages 9, 10, and 11 years. Structural equation modelling was used for analyses. Controlling for socio-economic status, parental stimulation of curiosity bore positive and significant relations to science intrinsic motivation and achievement, which in turn related to SA. Gender neither related to stimulation of curiosity nor contributed to the model. Findings highlight the importance of parental stimulation of children’s curiosity in facilitating trajectories into science, and relevance to science education is discussed.  相似文献   

Measuring children’s perceived cost of school science: Instrument development and psychometric evaluation     

《Studies in Educational Evaluation》2021

This investigation addresses the need for valid and reliable instruments that contribute to understanding the factors that lead to the rejection of science-related studies. We discuss the theoretical and methodological limitations of published attitudes toward science questionnaires and describe the development and validation of a short instrument rooted in the cost construct of the expectancy-value model of achievement motivation. We collected data from a sample of six hundred thirty-two 5^th and 6^th (M_age = 10.87; SD = .76) elementary students in Spain. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed a parsimonious structure measuring loss of valued alternatives and task effort ​cost. Further psychometric evaluation displayed evidence for convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity. Likewise, the reliability was acceptable for both three-item scales. These findings support the proposed instrument to measure barriers experienced by Spanish children when studying school science.  相似文献
