We investigate students’ negative perceptions about an online peer assessment system for undergraduate writing across the
disciplines. Specifically, we consider the nature of students’ resistance to peer assessment; what factors influence that
resistance; and how students’ perceptions impact their revision work. We do this work by first examining findings from an
end-of-course survey administered to 250 students in ten courses across six universities using an online peer assessment system
called SWoRD for their writing assignments. Those findings indicate that students have the most positive perceptions of SWoRD
in those courses where an instructor graded their work in addition to peers (as opposed to peer-only grading). We then move
to an in-depth examination of perceptions and revision work among 84 students using SWoRD and no instructor grading for assessment
of writing in one university class. Findings from that study indicate that students sometimes regard peer assessment as unfair
and often believe that peers are unqualified to review and assess students’ work. Furthermore, students’ perceptions about
the fairness of peer assessment drop significantly following students’ experience in doing peer assessment. Students’ fairness
perceptions—and drops in those perceptions—are most significantly associated with their perceptions about the extent to which
peers’ feedback is useful and positive. However, students’ perceptions appear to be unrelated to the extent of their revision
work. This research fills a considerable gap in the literature regarding the origin of students’ negative perceptions about
peer assessment, as well as how perceptions influence performance. 相似文献

It is an ongoing challenge in higher education context to design appropriate learning tasks for students that balances the
diversity in student knowledge and variable skills with student’s potential to learn under guidance. Obtaining feedback from
students on what they know is made more complicated when students are passive during learning activities. In this paper we
report on a project that ran over 2 years in which 67 students (28 in 2005; 39 in 2006) from culturally diverse socio-historical
backgrounds used an anonymous knowledge sharing tool, the dynamic frequently asked questions (DFAQ) to engage with authentic
learning tasks in an Organisational Learning Module. The module was part of the Organisational Psychology honours degree programme
at a higher learning institution. The students used the DFAQ tool to consult with both peers and faculty staff. DFAQ is a
special purpose web-based tool with a Short Message Services (SMS) interface. A thematic analysis was conducted on students’
experiences gathered from focus group discussions. Artefacts from DFAQ are also analysed. The paper reports that DFAQ mediated
the educator’s access to the students’ level of understanding and the potential to learn under guidance. The DFAQ tool therefore
allowed the educator to provide students with appropriate guidance that met individual students’ knowledge gaps. The paper
concludes that DFAQ mediated access to the gap between actual and potential development, stimulated knowledge sharing, peer
learning and impacted on pedagogical designs of learning tasks. 相似文献

This study examines the conditional and interaction effects of each of four dimensions of the epistemological beliefs of college
students regarding the ability to learn, the speed of learning, the structure of knowledge, and the stability of knowledge
on four measures of the cognitive components (elaboration, rehearsal, organization, metacognition) and four measures of the
behavioral components (effort regulation, management of time and study environment, peer learning, help seeking) of self-regulated
learning strategies. Students with more sophisticated beliefs about the nature of knowledge and learning were more likely
than their peers to use educationally productive cognitive and behavioral strategies in their learning. Beliefs about one’s
ability to learn had the most significant and substantial effects, and the structure of knowledge had the second most significant
and substantial effects on students’ use of self-regulated cognitive and behavioral learning strategies. Although a student’s
belief about the stability of knowledge by itself had a statistically significant effect on only one learning strategy, this
belief served as moderator for six of the 11 statistically significant interaction effects of epistemological beliefs on the
use of cognitive and behavioral learning strategies. Implications of these findings for theory, research, policy and practice
are examined. 相似文献

The quality of teachers’ knowledge about how people learn influences students’ learning outcomes. Similarly, the quality of
students’ knowledge about how they learn influences their engagement in self-regulated learning and consequently, their learning
achievement. There is a gap between research findings that support these two premises and teaching–learning practices in classrooms.
In this paper we describe attempts to reduce this gap. In Study 1 we surveyed early adolescent students’ cognitive and metacognitive
strategy use and demonstrated that students’ cognitive and metacognitive strategy knowledge has substantial room for improvement.
In Studies 2 and 3 we collaborated with teachers to embed explicit cognitive and metacognitive strategy instruction, using
learning protocols, into regular class lessons. Studies 2 and 3 showed that the learning protocols slipped readily into teachers’
typical lesson designs, scaffolded teachers’ delivery of strategy instruction, and scaffolded some students’ acquisition of
strategy knowledge, although progress was sometimes slow. Recommendations are presented for supporting teachers and students
to engage with cognitive and metacognitive strategy instruction. 相似文献

This position paper proposes the enhancement of teacher and student learning in science classrooms by tapping the enormous
potential of information communication and technologies (ICTs) as cognitive tools for engaging students in scientific inquiry.
This paper serves to challenge teacher-held assumptions about students learning science ‘from technology’ with a framework
and examples of students learning science ‘with technology’. Whereas a high percentage of students are finding their way in
using ICTs outside of school, for the most part they currently are not doing so inside of school in ways that they find meaningful
and relevant to their lives. Instead, the pedagogical approaches that are most often experienced are out-of-step with how
students use ICTs outside of schools and are not supportive of learning framed by constructivism. Here we describe a theoretical
and pedagogical foundation for better connecting the two worlds of students’ lives: life in school and life outside of school.
This position paper is in response to the changing landscape of students’ lives. The position is transformative in nature
because it proposes the use of cyber-enabled resources for cultivating and leveraging students new literacy skills by learning
‘with technology’ to enhance science learning. 相似文献

This study analyzes the effects of several factors related to high school, such as the kind of school (public or private),
the type of education (general or vocational), school location and peers on undergraduate performance from students of the
University of Barcelona (Spain). Particular attention is given to the functional form and to the collection of “unobservables”.
Empirical results show that variables related to high school, such as having attended in a private religious school or peer
effects of their school contemporaries, are determinant in university final grades. In addition, students’ ability, some household’s
characteristics and the 1990 Education Act are also important. 相似文献

This exploratory case study examined in depth the studying activities of eight students across two studying episodes, and
compared traces of actual studying activities to self-reports of self-regulated learning. Students participated in a 2-hour
activity using our gStudy software to complete a course assignment. We used log file data to construct profiles of self-regulated
learning activity in four ways: (a) frequency of studying events, (b) patterns of studying activity, (c) timing and sequencing
of events, and (d) content analyses of students’ notes and summaries. Findings indicate that students’ self-reports may not
calibrate to actual studying activity. Analyses of log file traces of studying activities provide important information for
defining strategies and sequences of fine-grained studying actions. We contrast these analytic methods and illustrate how
trace-based profiles of students’ self-regulated studying inform models of metacognitive monitoring, evaluation, and self-regulated
adaptation. 相似文献

The frequency of cheating in today’s classrooms undermines educators’ efforts and threatens students’ learning. Data from
444 high school students in 48 math and science classrooms at two time points were analyzed to examine the classroom and individual
influences on students’ attributions of blame for cheating and to examine the relationship between students’ attributions
of blame for cheating and subsequent cheating behavior. Hierarchical linear modeling revealed that student-level and aggregate
views of teacher characteristics were related to concurrent and subsequent attribution of cheating blame to teachers and to
subsequent cheating behaviors, over and above the influence of moral emotion dispositions. 相似文献

An implication of the current research on self-regulation is to implement the promotion of self-regulated learning in schools.
Teachers can promote self-regulated learning either directly by teaching learning strategies or indirectly by arranging a
learning environment that enables students to practise self-regulation. This study investigates teachers’ direct and indirect
promotion of self-regulated learning and its relation to the development of students’ performance. Twenty German mathematics
teachers with their overall 538 students (grade 9) were videotaped for a three-lesson unit on the Pythagorean Theorem. Students’
mathematics performance was tested several times before and after the observed lessons. A low-inferent coding system was applied
to assess the teachers’ implicit or explicit instruction of cognitive strategies (e.g., organisation), metacognitive strategies
(e.g., planning), and motivational strategies (e.g., resource management). High-inferent ratings were used to assess features
of the learning environment that foster self-regulation. Results reveal that a great amount of strategy teaching takes place
in an implicit way, whereas explicit strategy teaching and supportive learning environment are rare. The instruction of organisation
strategies and some features of the learning environment (constructivism, transfer) relate positively to students’ performance
development. In contrast to implicit strategy instruction, explicit strategy instruction was associated with a gain in performance.
These results reveal a discrepancy between the usefulness of explicit strategy instruction and its rare occurrence in classrooms. 相似文献

This article reports the development, validation and use of an instrument designed to provide teachers with feedback information,
based on students’ perceptions, about their classroom environments. The instrument was developed to provide teachers with
feedback that they could use to reflect on their teaching practices and, in turn, guide the implementation of strategies to
improve their learning environments. To determine the validity and reliability of the new instrument, data from 2043 grade
11 and 12 students from 147 classes in 9 schools were analysed. The Rasch model was used to convert data collected using a
frequency response scale into interval data that are suitable for parametric analyses. During an action research process,
reflective journals, written feedback, discussions at a forum and interviews with eight teachers helped to illuminate the
processes used by teachers during action research. This article reports the views of these teachers in general and examines
more closely how one of the teachers used student responses to the learning environment questionnaire as a tool for reflection
and as a guide in transforming her classroom environment. This case study helped us to gauge the extent to which action research
based on students’ perceptions of the learning environment was useful in guiding teachers’ improvements of their classroom
learning environments. 相似文献

An Investigation of the Contingent Relationships Between Learning Community Participation and Student Engagement 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
This study examined the contingent relationships between learning community participation and student engagement in educational
activities inside and outside the classroom using data from the 2004 administration of the National Survey of Student Engagement
(NSSE). Results indicated that learning community participation was positively and significantly related to student engagement,
both for first-year students and seniors. For some types of engagement, relationships were significantly stronger for seniors
than for first-year students. Analyses also revealed there was substantial variability across institutions in the magnitude
of the relationships between learning community participation and first-year students’ levels of engagement. Although institutional
characteristics accounted for some of the variability across institutions, a substantial amount of the variability in engagement–learning
community relationships remained unexplained. 相似文献

This paper focuses on the role of dominant school discourses in structuring how students position themselves and others relative
to a community centered on science. The study was conducted in a diverse, eighth grade classroom in an urban magnet school.
I argue that dominant discourses portray a limited view of available subject positions, in that the purpose of learning science
is associated with a dichotomous view of people as being either college-bound or not. I explore how these limited subject
positions can pose contradictions with some students’ interests, constrain students’ visions of possibilities, exacerbate
disadvantages based on race and class, and interfere with students acquiring identities as science learners. However, there
are also possibilities for resistance, agency and self-definition through students’ talk.

past several years working on a longitudinal, ethnographic study of science education in an urban magnet school. Her research
interests include the relationship of identity and science learning, interaction rituals in classrooms, in-field and out-of-field
science teaching, the influence of social capital and cultural capital on science learning, activity theory and classroom
change, and students’ experiences with school choice. 相似文献

This research investigated 68 secondary school students’ perceptions of their computer-mediated project-based learning environment
and their attitudes towards Project Work (PW) using two instruments—Project Work Classroom Learning Environment Questionnaire
(PWCLEQ) and Project Work Related Attitudes Instrument (PWRAI). In this project-based learning environment, students experienced
a face-to-face classroom setting and e-learning by using a synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC) tool called ‘iCollaborate’
for online communication and project collaboration with peers from other countries. The PWCLEQ and PWRAI instruments were
used to evaluate the computer-mediated project-based learning environment using students’ perceptions of the learning environment
and to further investigate how their perceptions might affect their attitudes towards PW lessons. Students perceived the computer-mediated
project-based learning environment favourably but they preferred to experience more Material Environment and more Open-Endedness
and Social Presence. Simple correlation analysis revealed that all environment dimensions were significantly and positively
related to the students’ attitudes towards PW, while multiple regression analysis indicated that two scales, Instructor Support
and Social Presence, were the strongest predictors of attitudes towards PW lessons. 相似文献

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between students’ interests, their use of certain specific learning
strategies and causal attributions which they made for their academic achievement. In this manner, we attempted to explore
the relationships between some important variables from three different, but connected phases of self-regulated learning:
the forethought phase (interests), the performance control phase (learning strategies) and the self-reflective phase (causal
attributions).
Results confirmed the presumption that learning strategies could be a potential mediator in the relationship between students’
interests and their academic achievement. Also, results indicate that the causal dimension of controllability could have a
partial mediating role between students’ academic achievement and their interests. Generally, our findings indicate a dynamic
and cyclical nature of learning process — interest is an integral part of this process and it could be conceptualized as both
a consequence and an antecedent of cognitive aspects of learning. 相似文献

In the multilingual mathematics classroom, the assignment for teachers to scaffold students by means of instruction and guidance in order to facilitate language progress and learning for all is often emphasized. In Sweden, where mathematics education is characterized by a low level of teacher responsibility for students’ performance, this responsibility is in part passed on to students. However, research investigating the complexity of relations between mathematics teaching and learning in multilingual classrooms, as well as effect studies of mathematics teaching, often take the existence of teachers’ responsibility for offering specific content activities for granted. This study investigates the relations between different aspects of responsibility in mathematics teaching and students’ performance in the multilingual mathematics classroom. The relationship between different group compositions and how the responsibility is expressed is also investigated. Multilevel structural equation models using TIMSS 2003 data identified a substantial positive influence on mathematics achievement of teachers taking responsibility for students’ learning processes by organizing and offering a learning environment where the teacher actively and openly supports the students in their mathematics learning, and where the students also are active and learn mathematics themselves. A correlation was also revealed between group composition, in terms of students’ social and linguistic background, and how mathematics teaching was performed. This relationship indicates pedagogical segregation in Swedish mathematics education by teachers taking less responsibility for students’ learning processes in classes with a high proportion of students born abroad or a high proportion of students with low socio-economic status. 相似文献

This study was set up in a Chinese university in Beijing by implementing a Flemish e-learning course in a Chinese setting.
A main feature of the e-learning environment is the asynchronous ‘task-based’ online group discussion. The purpose of the
study is to understand Chinese students’ perceptions of a collaborative e-learning environment and the factors that affect
their online performance and academic achievement. The results of the study indicate that the students had less positive perceptions
of the e-learning environment as compared to their perceptions of a more conventional environment. However, the students reported
to a higher level of preferences of peer learning, critical thinking, and problem-based learning (PBL) after one semester
e-learning experience. In addition, we examined variables that might have affected students’ performance in e-learning environments.
The results show that students with higher motivational orientations perform better in the online group discussions. 相似文献

Using multi-institutional data from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program’s (CIRP) annual survey of entering freshmen,
the Higher Education Research Institute’s (HERI) Faculty Surveys, campus registrars’ offices, and IPEDS data, we evaluated
the extent to which peer institutional retention climates and faculty perceived campus climates influenced individual 6-year
retention rates. We used hierarchical generalized linear models (HGLM) to examine the extent to which institutional climate
(as measured by peer institutional retention climate and faculty perceived climate), net of students’ ability, expectations,
and family socioeconomic status, influence students’ persistence behavior. We found that institutional retention climate,
as defined by a student body’s aggregated report of withdrawal intentions, did independently determine whether a student would
persist or not. While past research has overlooked peer and faculty climates, the results from this work call for the attention
of peer institutional retention climates.

Measuring Self-Regulated Learning Processes through Tracking Patterns of Student Interaction with Achievement Activities 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A micro-level approach to the study of relationships between component processes within self-regulated learning in young adolescent students is described. Using this approach, contingencies between self-regulatory processes can be identified and insight into factors that promote students’ use of self-regulatory strategies can be investigated. Evidence is presented showing how the influence of mastery achievement goals on specific task goals can be mediated by students’ state of interest. Further development of this approach requires consideration of the measurement issues associated with using single items to measure on-task states. Evidence for the reliability and validity of single-item measurement of states is considered in relation to areas of psychological inquiry that regularly use single-item measures and we conclude that further development of these types of measure has the potential to expand our understanding of self-regulated learning. 相似文献

A programme to enhance first-year college students’ self-regulated learning strategies is proposed and assessed in two samples,
one from the University of Oviedo (Spain) and the other from the University of Minho (Portugal). Each sample was divided into
two groups (experimental and control). The Spanish sample comprised 44 students in the experimental group and 40 in the control
group, whereas in the Portuguese sample, the number of students was 48 and 44, respectively. The narrative-based intervention
programme is organised around a set of fictional letters from a first-year college student in which he reports his own academic
experiences. Each letter focuses on a learning strategy as an opportunity to teach and enhance the students’ deep approaches
to learning and their self-regulated learning processes. In both samples, findings confirm the programme efficacy to teach
efficient learning strategies and to promote self-regulation. Implications for college students and for teaching are discussed. 相似文献

The current study examined students’ perceptions of the effects of different forms of instructional feedback on their performance,
motivation, and emotion. Forty-nine students attending an eastern US university participated in focus group discussions. The
groups explored students’ reactions to grades, praise, and computer versus instructor provided feedback, as well as students’
views of the ideal feedback. Students named detailed comments as the most important and useful form of feedback. Grades were
deemed to be unnecessary if the goal of an activity was to learn. Students proposed that low grades elicit negative affect
and damage the students’ sense of self-efficacy, and high grades decrease motivation and lessen students’ perceived need to
improve. Praise was reported to positively affect emotion, but not to be directly conducive to learning. 相似文献
