A model for making decisions about ethical dilemmas in student assessment     

Robert L. Johnson  Jin Liu  Yin Burgess 《Journal of moral education》2017,46(2):212-229

In this mixed-methods study we investigated the development of a generalized ethics decision-making model that can be applied in considering ethical dilemmas related to student assessment. For the study, we developed five scenarios that describe ethical dilemmas associated with student assessment. Survey participants (i.e., educators) completed an online survey to express their decision-making process when faced with ethical dilemmas relating to student assessment. Based on the literature and the educators’ written responses to the scenarios, elements to consider in an ethics decision-making model related to student assessment include the following: (1) the critical incident giving rise to the ethical dilemma; (2) identification of the conflict elements; (3) decisions about the ethicality of the elements; (4) justification of the decisions; (5) implications; and (6) alternative suggestions. This model offers guidance to educators in considering the dimensions of an ethical dilemma in assessment prior to making a decision.  相似文献   

Conditioned inhibition in feature negative discrimination learning with pigeons     

Daniel S. Gokey  Robert L. Collins 《Learning & behavior》1980,8(2):231-236

Discrimination performance was investigated with pigeons using feature negative (FN) discrimination procedures which differed in the temporal arrangement of the stimuli on S? trials. In both procedures, a single common element was presented on reinforced (S+) trials. In thesimultaneous FN procedure, a distinguishing element was presented simultaneously with the common element of S? trials. In thesequential FN procedure, the distinguishing element preceded onset of the common element on S? trials. In two experiments, the sequential FN procedure yielded better discrimination performance. In Experiment 1, a summation test designed to separate learning and performance variables indicated that sequential FN subjects had learned the negative relationship between the distinguishing element and reinforcement while simultaneous FN subjects had not. In Experiment 2, summation and acquisition tests indicated that the distinguishing element developed inhibitory properties in the sequential FN procedure but not in the simultaneous FN procedure.  相似文献   

Masters Degree Programs in Colleges of Advanced Education: Graduate Characteristics and Outcomes     

Robert J. Sumner 《高等教育研究与发展》1989,8(2):181-189

To obtain evaluative data on outcomes of the Advanced Education Institution Award scheme a study which included a survey of graduates from masters programs in Australian colleges of advanced education in the years 1980–1985 was undertaken. The survey was designed to identify graduate characteristics, to analyse award distribution across disciplines and to obtain general evaluative data on awards and masters degrees. The impact of gender in each of these analyses was to be considered. Further, details on employment and further study activities were to be documented.  相似文献   

Assuring Quality in Collaborative Distance Education Programmes: The Experience of the University of Texas System TeleCampus     

Robert L. Robinson 《Higher Education in Europe》2001,26(4):567-575

In 1997, the University of Texas (UT) System initiated the development of the UT TeleCampus, a centralized facilitation point for distance learning. The TeleCampus opened its virtual doors in May 1998. At the start, its focus was entirely on support services for students. By late 1998, however, the TeleCampus had begun developing what would become collaborative benchmark on-line programmes for the UT System. Since then, in developing more than twelve complete on-line degree programmes, the administrators of the TeleCampus have learned lessons about creating and maintaining quality in collaborative, Web-based, distance, for-credit, education courses and degree programmes. Some of the key issues arising from the collaborative nature of these programmes and methods that are used to ensure that each course meets a high-quality standard are discussed.  相似文献

Making departmental changes through action research,based on adult learning principles     

Robert Conway  David Kember  Atara Sivan  May Wu 《Higher Education》1994,28(2):265-282

Action research was used as a means of introducing adult learning principles into the teaching of an optometry department. The department took as an overall development theme the move from teacher-directed to leamer-directed activities. Pilot studies were used as a mechanism for trialling particular innovations. Lessons learnt from the pilot studies are shared with the remainder of the department for incorporation into other subjects, thus evolving a mechanism for departmental change. The paper shows how change occurred by reporting briefly two pilot studies as examples. The first used group project teams to prepare class presentations for specified topics. Some novel presentation methods were used by the student teams. Peer assessment was introduced into this subject in the second cycle of the pilot study as a result of feedback from the first cycle. The second pilot study introduced active learning methods in place of lectures.  相似文献   

Audiogenic seizures in mice: Asymmetries of the preconvulsive running pattern and subsequent seizure     

Howard M. Reid  Robert L. Collins 《Learning & behavior》1982,10(3):321-324

Asymmetries in the progression of unilaterally and bilaterally induced audiogenic seizures were examined in DBA/2J and SJL/J mice. Both strains were found to exhibit consistent asymmetries in direction(s) of running as well as in the side of fall during a convulsion. This correspondence suggests that the bursts of running are an integral part of an audiogenic seizure. The incorporation of information on asymmetries of the locomotor prelude in future studies should prove valuable for understanding the physiological mechanisms of audiogenic seizure.  相似文献
