With increasing demands for universities to create graduates that are numerically and scientifically literate, it is important to determine effective ways to engage students so that they can acquire these literacies. Using an undergraduate, interdisciplinary course that focused on scientific and mathematical literacy, I examined how contextualization influenced students’ abilities to build connections between their learning and their lives. In their written reflections, students connected course concepts with their social lives, academic pursuits and global or societal issues without specific prompting. I suggest that contextualization combined with reflection allows students to illustrate their understanding and apply this knowledge to novel scenarios.
随着对大学培养具有数字和科学素养的毕业生的需求不断增加,确定有效的方法来吸引学生,使他们能够获得这些素养是很重要的。通过一门以科学和数学素养为重点的本科跨学科课程,我研究了情境化如何影响学生在学习和生活之间建立联系的能力。在他们的书面反思中,学生们将课程概念与他们的社会生活、学术追求和全球或社会问题联系起来,没有特别的提示。我认为情境化与反思相结合可以让学生阐明他们的理解,并将这些知识应用到新的场景中。

Does Mechanism Matter? Student Recall of Electronic versus Handwritten Feedback 机制重要吗?学生对电子反馈和手写反馈的回忆

Student consumption and recall of feedback are necessary preconditions of successful formative assessment. Drawing on Sadler’s (1998) definition of formative assessment as that which is intended to accelerate learning and improve performance through the providing of feedback, we examine how the mechanism of transmission may impact student retention of feedback content. We proceed from the premise that such retention is necessary for feedback to function as a component of formative assessment. Although researchers have written extensively on best practices in feedback content (e.g., Nicol & Macfarlane-Dick, 2006) and student and instructor attitudes toward electronic feedback versus handwritten feedback (e.g., Thomson, 2008), comparatively little research addresses whether the form of feedback influences student consumption and retention. Our research found that whereas students who preferred or received handwritten feedback recall more feedback (quantity), those who actually received electronic feedback recall comments more accurately (quality). We encourage instructors to working with either format to adhere to accepted standards for good feedback practice.
学生对反馈的消费和回忆是形成性评价成功的必要前提。根据Sadler(1998)对形成性评估的定义,即通过提供反馈来加速学习和提高表现,我们研究了传递机制如何影响学生对反馈内容的保留。我们从这样一个前提出发,即这种保留对于反馈作为形成性评估的组成部分是必要的。尽管研究人员已经写了大量关于反馈内容的最佳实践(例如,Nicol & Macfarlane-Dick, 2006)以及学生和教师对电子反馈与手写反馈的态度(例如,Thomson, 2008),但相对较少的研究涉及反馈形式是否影响学生的消费和保留。我们的研究发现,喜欢或接受手写反馈的学生能回忆起更多的反馈(数量),而真正接受电子反馈的学生能更准确地回忆起评论(质量)。我们鼓励教师使用任何一种格式,以坚持良好反馈实践的公认标准。

Contextualized learning is considered beneficial for student success. In this article, we assess the impact of context-based learning tools on student grade performance in an introductory computer science course. In particular, we investigate two central questions: (1) does the use context-based learning tools, robots and animations, affect student performance? (2) How do age, gender, and ethnicity impact performance? To explore these questions, we compare the impact of educational robots in conjunction with animations against a second group of students who use only animations, while controlling for the effects of gender and ethnicity. We find that the addition of robots did not improve the students’ performance in our setting. Instead, our findings support the existing literature stating that gender and ethnicity are important predictors of student success. We also find that attendance is a strong predictor of student success.
情境化学习被认为有利于学生的成功。在本文中,我们评估了基于上下文的学习工具对计算机科学入门课程中学生成绩表现的影响。特别是,我们研究了两个核心问题:(1)使用基于情境的学习工具,机器人和动画,会影响学生的表现吗?(2)年龄、性别和种族如何影响绩效?为了探索这些问题,我们比较了教育机器人与动画结合的影响,以及只使用动画的第二组学生,同时控制了性别和种族的影响。我们发现,在我们的设置中,机器人的加入并没有提高学生的表现。相反,我们的发现支持了现有的文献,即性别和种族是学生成功的重要预测因素。我们还发现出勤率是学生成功的一个强有力的预测指标。

Facebook is by far the most ubiquitous social network in the world. While it has been studied extensively in its native social context, only recently has its use for academic purposes begun to be examined in earnest. In this study we utilize both qualitative and quantitative methodologies in multiple sections of required freshmen and senior courses at a liberal arts college (n = 245). To help delineate factors that cause students to accept (or resist) the use of Facebook by their professors, we draw from the well-established technology acceptance literature, adapting constructs known to predict acceptance and use of technology. Further, we develop new measures of “appropriateness” and “social purposes” to account for the unique context of integrating Facebook into college coursework. We provide recommendations for best practices, find a possible negative “Facebook Effect,” and show that the use of technology acceptance models is a promising avenue for future research.
Facebook是目前世界上最普及的社交网络。虽然它在其原生社会背景下被广泛研究,但直到最近才开始认真研究它在学术上的用途。在这项研究中,我们在一所文理学院的大一和大四必修课程的多个部分中使用了定性和定量方法(n = 245)。为了帮助描述导致学生接受(或抵制)教授使用Facebook的因素,我们从成熟的技术接受文献中提取,采用已知的结构来预测技术的接受和使用。此外,我们开发了新的“适当性”和“社会目的”的衡量标准,以解释将Facebook整合到大学课程中的独特背景。我们为最佳实践提供了建议,找到了可能的负面“Facebook效应”,并表明使用技术接受模型是未来研究的一个有前途的途径。

Abstract The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of employing concept mapping at a pre-writing stageon English as a foreign language (EFL) students' ability to generate better argumentative essays. Thirty-eightparticipants were randomly assigned to two groups participating in Writing II course at Al-Quds OpenUniversity (QOU). Both groups had the same teacher. The control group received instruction as required inthe textbook only, and the experimental group were additionally required to construct concept maps at thepre-writing stage and compose essays based on the constructed maps. All participants were required to sit forpre- and post-tests to track their writing performance before and after the experimental group took a tutorialon how to create concept maps. After the implementation of the intervention, comparison of the students’mean scores of the pre- and post-tests showed a statistically significant improvement in the experimentalstudents’ ability to generate better argumentative essays in terms of point of view, unity and coherence,development, organization, and thinking. The results highlight the effectiveness of employing conceptmapping as a focused instructional strategy at the pre-writing stage in developing EFL students’ writing skill.Pedagogical implications for using concept mapping in EFL writing classes are considered.
摘要本研究的目的是研究在写作前阶段使用概念图对英语作为外语(EFL)学生写出更好的议论文的能力的影响。38名参与者被随机分为两组,参加在Al-Quds开放大学(QOU)的写作II课程。两组都有同一个老师。对照组只接受课本要求的指导,实验组在写作前需要构建概念图,并根据构建的概念图撰写论文。所有参与者都被要求参加前后测试,以跟踪他们在实验组学习如何创建概念图之前和之后的写作表现。实施干预后,比较学生前后测试的平均分,发现实验组学生在观点、统一性和连贯性、发展、组织和思维方面的议论文写作能力有统计学上的显著提高。研究结果强调了在写作前阶段将概念映射作为重点教学策略在培养学生写作技能方面的有效性。在英语写作课上使用概念图的教学意义被考虑。

Investigating Transnational Collaboration of Faculty Development and Learning: An Argument for Making Learning Culturally Relevant. 调查教师发展和学习的跨国合作:使学习具有文化相关性的论点。
Pub Date : 2014-07-30 DOI: 10.20429/IJSOTL.2014.080217
Professional development offered to higher education faculty is meant to enhance pedagogy and improve practice. Inspired by a transnational partnership in Southeast Asia, this study aimed to discover how teacher education faculty perceived faculty development offered to them by university partnership colleagues from the United States. Survey findings indicate that certain faculty development strategies improved teaching and assessment practices and enhanced self-reflection. However, evidence also showed some negative faculty perceptions in relation to the US partner’s methodologies, and qualitative responses indicated a lack of relevancy to the Southeastern Asia context. Furthermore, negative correlations were found between faculty development workshops and teacher education faculty teaching subject area endorsement content and their praxis. Very little has been written on the impact of teacher educator professional development offered by transnational academic partnerships. Universities involved as transnational partners must be flexible, culturally sensitive and determine together areas of priority and relevance as a definition of success for partnership effectiveness.
为高等教育教师提供的专业发展旨在加强教学和改进实践。受东南亚跨国合作伙伴关系的启发,本研究旨在发现教师教育教师如何看待来自美国大学合作伙伴向他们提供的教师发展。调查结果表明,某些教师发展策略改善了教学和评估实践,并增强了自我反思。然而,也有证据表明,教师对美国合作伙伴的方法有一些负面看法,定性反应表明与东南亚背景缺乏相关性。此外,教师发展研讨会与教师教育教师教学学科领域背书内容及其实践之间存在负相关。关于跨国学术伙伴关系对教师教育专业发展的影响的文章很少。作为跨国伙伴参与的大学必须灵活、对文化敏感,并共同确定优先领域和相关领域,作为伙伴关系有效性的成功定义。

Pub Date : 2014-07-30 DOI: 10.20429/IJSOTL.2014.080209
This article focuses on the complex process of facilitating a Critical Friends Group as a form of a professional learning community by teacher education faculty. During a three-year initiative, seven faculty members created a forum for collegial conversations regarding pedagogical dilemmas in efforts of improving teaching practice and student achievement. Critical Friends Groups use protocol guides to actively engage its members in learning, thinking, reading and discussing dilemmas from interdisciplinary perspectives. This article reviews the literature of Critical Friends Groups, the work of this particular Critical Friends Group and concludes by providing a rationale for sustainability of Critical Friends Groups in Institutions of Higher Education.

Disentangling The Effects Of Student Attitudes and Behaviors On Academic Performance 学生态度和行为对学习成绩的影响
Pub Date : 2014-07-30 DOI: 10.20429/IJSOTL.2014.080207

The interplay among motivation, ability, attitudes, behaviors, homework, and learning is unclear from previous research. We analyze data collected from 687 students enrolled in seven economics courses. A model explaining homework and exam scores is estimated, and separate analyses of ability and motivation groups are conducted. We find that motivation and ability explain variation in both homework and exam scores. Attitudes and behaviors, such as procrastination and working with others directly, affect homework score, but not exam score. These effects are not the same within all motivation and ability groups. Given that homework is the strongest predictor of exam score, we conclude that graded homework is beneficial to learning, and attitudes and behaviors related to homework may have an indirect benefit for exam performance. Suggestions are made as to how homework and course design might be managed to help students at different ability and motivational levels maximize learning.
动机、能力、态度、行为、家庭作业和学习之间的相互作用从以前的研究中还不清楚。我们分析了从687名参加7门经济学课程的学生中收集的数据。估计了一个解释家庭作业和考试成绩的模型,并对能力和动机组进行了单独的分析。我们发现动机和能力可以解释家庭作业和考试成绩的差异。态度和行为,如拖延症和与他人直接合作,会影响家庭作业成绩,但不会影响考试成绩。这些影响在所有动机和能力组中是不一样的。鉴于家庭作业是考试成绩的最强预测因子,我们得出结论,分级家庭作业有利于学习,与家庭作业相关的态度和行为可能对考试成绩有间接的好处。对于如何管理家庭作业和课程设计提出了建议,以帮助不同能力和动机水平的学生最大限度地学习。

Abstract We examined how different styles of written feedback by graduate-student teaching assistants (GTAs) incollege intro biology lab (USA) influenced student achievement and related the different styles to timeefficiency. We quantified GTA feedback on formative lab reports and student achievement on two differenttypes of assessments, a quiz in 2010 and a summative lab report in 2011. We evaluated the extent to whichthree categories of written feedback impacted student achievement (grade discrepancy between actual andideal, short direct comments, and in-depth explanatory comments). Student achievement was best explainedby both grade discrepancy and short direct comments in 2010 and grade discrepancy only in 2011. In-depthexplanations were not part of the best-fit models in either year. Results also indicated that GTAs provided littleencouraging feedback, most feedback was targeted and asked students to expand on explanations. Results arediscussed in relation to relative time efficiency and GTA training.
摘要本研究考察了美国大学生物导论实验室研究生助教写作反馈的不同风格对学生成绩的影响,以及不同风格与时间效率的关系。我们量化了GTA对形成性实验报告的反馈和学生在两种不同类型的评估上的成就,2010年的测验和2011年的总结实验报告。我们评估了三类书面反馈对学生成绩的影响程度(实际和理想之间的分数差异,简短的直接评论和深入的解释性评论)。2010年,学生成绩最好的解释是成绩差异和简短的直接评论,2011年只有成绩差异。在这两年中,深度解释都不是最佳拟合模型的一部分。结果还表明,gta提供的令人鼓舞的反馈很少,大多数反馈是有针对性的,并要求学生扩展解释。结果讨论了相对时间效率和GTA训练的关系。
