Developing Student Metacognition through Reflective Writing in an Upper Level Undergraduate Anatomy Course     

Valerie Dean O’Loughlin  Lauren Miller Griffith 《Anatomical sciences education》2020,13(6):680-693

Incorporating metacognitive strategies in the classroom helps students monitor and adjust their learning strategies throughout the semester, and helps students progress from novice to expert learners in a subject. Journaling (i.e., reflective writing) is one metacognitive task that allows students to contemplate and articulate their skill development as they learn a new subject. The research reported here examines the use of ‘blogs’ (i.e., online journals) in an upper level undergraduate human anatomy course. The blogs both facilitated development of students' metacognitive skills and provided researchers insight into student metacognitive process. Data were examined from 92 students from three successive semesters (spring 2010, 2012 and 2014). Each student reviewed 10 radiology online cases throughout the semester and then reflected on their understanding of anatomy and radiology in an online blog for each case. A total of 927 blogs were examined for this research. The researchers used a grounded theory approach to analyze the blog narratives and develop a codebook based on common themes. The 927 blogs yielded 11,082 statements that were coded with the codebook. As the semester progressed, the blog entries showed that students demonstrated greater self-confidence in their abilities to understand the subject matter, expressed greater enthusiasm for anatomy in general, and they improved their metacognitive skills. This research illustrates that reflective writing in an undergraduate anatomy course not only facilitates improvement in student metacognitive skills, but also provides the instructor with evidence how a student progresses from novice to more experienced learner in anatomy.  相似文献   

Making it real: The benefits of workplace learning in upper-secondary vocational education and training courses     

《Economics of Education Review》2014

In OECD countries, ‘real world’ upper-secondary vocational education and training (VET) programs are used to engage less academically oriented youth in learning, while helping to prepare them for post-school work and/or further education. In general terms, VET programs with high employer involvement, such as apprenticeship schemes, are considered to be superior to classroom-based VET programs that are typically found in many English-speaking countries. In this study, we examine outcomes from a potential ‘third way’: classroom-based VET with a short-term structured workplace learning component. Using propensity score matching and PISA data linked to information from the Longitudinal Survey of Australian Youth, we find this model is associated with higher school completion rates and better employment transitions.  相似文献   

社会经济学的三大流派:一个简要述评     

王军 《湖州职业技术学院学报》2014,(4):45-49

社会经济学从萌芽发展繁荣,期间形成了众多流派,影响较大的主要有三大流派:天主教社会经济学、人本主义社会经济学、奥地利派社会经济学。天主教社会经济学强调受到天主教教义的指导,人本主义社会经济学则是以人为中心来开始研究,奥地利派社会经济学强调经济社会是一个整体。在发展过程中,奥地利派社会经济学到了21世纪30年代发展演变成了"奥地利经济学派";人本主义社会经济学则另立山头,出现了发展专门的人本主义经济学的趋势;天主教社会经济学则不断淡化宗教色彩,扩大开放,借鉴吸收其他学科的最新理论成果,大有融合、包容其他社会经济学的倾向。现阶段,当代社会经济学还在快速发展中,其发展走向还有待观察。  相似文献
