A Process for Reviewing and Evaluating Generated Test Items     

Mark J. Gierl  Hollis Lai 《Educational Measurement》2016,35(4):6-20

Testing organization needs large numbers of high‐quality items due to the proliferation of alternative test administration methods and modern test designs. But the current demand for items far exceeds the supply. Test items, as they are currently written, evoke a process that is both time‐consuming and expensive because each item is written, edited, and reviewed by a subject‐matter expert. One promising approach that may address this challenge is with automatic item generation. Automatic item generation combines cognitive and psychometric modeling practices to guide the production of items that are generated with the aid of computer technology. The purpose of this study is to describe and illustrate a process that can be used to review and evaluate the quality of the generated item by focusing on the content and logic specified within the item generation procedure. We illustrate our process using an item development example from mathematics drawn from the Common Core State Standards and from surgical education drawn from the health sciences domain.  相似文献

三论文艺美学的对象、范围和学科定位     

周来祥 《广西师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2004,40(3):37-43

艺美学不但是客观存在的，而且是学科发展的必然结果。艺美学不是传统的艺术哲学，也不是美学与艺学交叉产生的第三种学科，而是由哲学认识论、心理学、社会学、伦理学、生存实践等各种角度、多个层次、多种方法高度融合所规定的美学的中介学科和分支学科。艺美学具有独特的研究对象、内容和范围。同时它又是艺社会学、艺心理学的并列学科。  相似文献

A long-term experiment to investigate the relationships between high school students’ perceptions of mobile learning and peer interaction and higher-order thinking tendencies     

Gwo-Jen Hwang  Chiu-Lin Lai  Jyh-Chong Liang  Hui-Chun Chu  Chin-Chung Tsai 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2018,66(1):75-93

In this study, a one-year program was conducted to investigate the relationships between students’ perceptions of mobile learning and their tendencies of peer interaction and higher-order thinking in issue-based mobile learning activities. To achieve the research objective, a survey consisting of eight scales, namely, usability, continuity, adaptive content, collaboration, communication, problem-solving, critical thinking and creativity, was developed. A total of 658 students from 38 high schools in Taiwan filled in the questionnaire after experiencing issue-based mobile learning activities. From the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, it was found that the questionnaire had high reliability and validity. The structural equation model further revealed that the provision of adaptive content in the mobile learning had positive impacts on the students’ tendency to interact with peers (i.e., collaboration and communication), which further affected their tendency to engage in higher-order thinking (i.e., problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity). The findings of this study provide a good reference for researchers and school teachers who intend to promote mobile learning in school settings.  相似文献   

Pedagogical practices of NetNZ teachers for supporting online distance learners     

Kwok-Wing Lai 《Distance Education》2017,38(3):321-335

A supportive online learning environment entails teachers using effective pedagogical practices to meet the needs of their students and developing a positive teacher–student relationship to foster learner motivation and engagement. This paper reports a study investigating how 32 secondary teachers in New Zealand taught their online distance classes and how they related to their students. These classes were administered by NetNZ, an online distance education community. An online survey conducted in 2016 found that NetNZ teachers used inquiry-based practices including flipped learning and knowledge-building pedagogies to support agency, autonomy, collaboration, and community development. They also used synchronous and asynchronous communication technologies to overcome barriers of relationship building in online settings. NetNZ was unique in delivering distance education in the New Zealand context in that it used a community approach to encourage a more active participation of its member schools and teachers in delivering distance courses to secondary students.  相似文献   

朱子学与阳明学及其现代意义     

陈来 《泉州师范学院学报》2011,29(3):1-9

通过对狭义朱子学与阳明学的发生、发展及其基本内涵的阐释,揭示朱子学与阳明学的现代意义。朱子学说最重要的部分是“格物致知”的理论,其明显的特色是极力为人求取事物的知识的活动确立一个地位。“心即理”、“致良知”是阳明学说的主要哲学命题,“知行合一”则是其思想的一个重要特色。朱子学强调读书学习的性格,为现代“学习型社会”与“终身教育”提供了很好的指导;对于大学的“通识教育”,朱子的思想是孔子之外最重要的思想资源;朱子学提倡“主敬”所代表的自我约束、严肃认真、勤勉专一的工作态度,对于保持东亚社会积极的工作伦理,仍能提供重要的资源。阳明学强调实践,体现于王阳明一贯提倡的“知行合一”,“住事上磨练”,这样的哲学精神合于19世纪以来实践哲学的发展,与近代哲学是相通的;王阳明关于“万物一体”的观念,对于人类的和平发展,以及生态和环保也可提供一种伦理的支持,具有普世价值。  相似文献   

“做中学”教师培训对教师教学观的影响     

赖小林  刘蕾  郑吉彦  毛春红 《学前教育研究》2011,(10)

本研究采用高凌庵等人设计的《教师教学观调查问卷》,分别对参与和未参与做中学教师培训的76位小学和幼儿园教师进行问卷调查,结果表明参与做中学培训的教师比未参与做中学教师培训的教师更倾向于采取互动发展式的教学方式,且小学教师比幼儿园教师更多地采用了互动发展式教学。这说明做中学培训项目对教师教学观产生了重要影响,采用不同的培训方式可能会促使教师形成不同的教学观。  相似文献
