Epistemic beliefs in action: Spontaneous reflections about knowledge and knowing during online information searching and their influence on learning     

Lucia Mason  Nicola AriasiAngela Boldrin 《Learning and Instruction》2011,21(1):137-151

In the present study it was investigated whether high school students are spontaneously able to reflect epistemologically during online searching for information about a controversial topic. In addition, we examined whether activating epistemic beliefs is related to individual characteristics, such as prior knowledge of the topic and argumentative reasoning skill; also whether learning from the Web is influenced by epistemic beliefs in action and the ability to detect fallacies in arguments. The participants (N = 64) were students of Grade 13, who were asked to think aloud during navigation. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed. Findings reveal that most participants spontaneously activated beliefs about all four dimensions identified in the literature, that is, about the simplicity/complexity, certainty/uncertainty, justification, and source of knowledge, at different levels of sophistication. Most epistemic reflections were about the source of knowledge. Two patterns of contextualized epistemic beliefs emerged and significantly influenced learning from the Web, which was also affected by participants' ability to identify argumentative fallacies.  相似文献

基于“人本主义”的学生评价     

王鹏 《四川教育学院学报》2011,(12):111-113

学生评价是教育评价的核心内容,基于人本主义的学生评价立足于学生自身的发展和提高。评价秉持以人为本、尊重个体差异等教育理念。在评价过程中,规避了传统学生评价过分强调甄别与选拔功能、评价主体倒置,评价内容忽视学生情感和态度因素、评价标准无视学生差异等现象,有利于激励学生学习,根据学生的实际改进教学过程,促进学生更好地发展。  相似文献   

A comparison of online versus traditional student end‐of‐course critiques in resident courses     

Rodger Morrison 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2011,36(6):627-641

This study outlines the intraclass differences between online and traditional student end‐of‐course critiques (EOCCs) only in the context of resident courses. Previous research into these differences appears limited to studies that compare entire classes rather than studies within any given class. Hypotheses are stated that the administration method has an effect on: how students will rate EOCCs, EOCC response rates, and, the detail level, favourability level and number of EOCC comments. In this field experiment, students in resident business courses at a large university comprised the sample. Individuals from within each class were randomly assigned either to a control group that completed a traditional paper‐based EOCC or to an experimental group that completed a similar EOCC online. Comments were coded with regard to the level of detail, favourability and total number of comments. Analysis of variance was used to compare the two groups with regard to ratings, comments and response rates. Online EOCCs had lower response rates, lower overall ratings, but more detailed comments. The methodology had no significant effect on the number or favourability level of comments.  相似文献   

A proposed methodology for contextualised evaluation in higher education     

Claus Nygaard 《Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education》2011,36(6):657-671

This paper aims to inspire stakeholders working with quality of higher education (such as members of study boards, study programme directors, curriculum developers and teachers) to critically consider their evaluation methods in relation to a focus on student learning. We argue that many of the existing methods of evaluation in higher education are underpinned by a conception of learning that is de‐contextualised. As a consequence, many data collection methods do not address aspects that affect students’ learning. This is problematic because the core aim of higher education is to facilitate student learning. We propose a contextualised evaluation methodology, guided by 10 key questions, which can help evaluators address concepts and questions of student learning in their evaluations.  相似文献

激活医专语文评价体系中的能力因子     

朱绍斌 《佳木斯教育学院学报》2011,(2):243-244,257

我国的语文教育中过于强调对语文知识的记忆,而忽视实际语言交际能力的训练。传统评价实质还只停留在知识评价层面,"能力因子"处于沉睡状态没有被激活,无法完全体现学生的语言运用能力。从考试内容、方法、形式、目的等方面入手,制定以知识、技能和态度为框架的评价体系,激活语文能力因子,使其活跃,从多方面综合地评价学生的语文能力。  相似文献

宋代应对选人改官的待次问题     

胡坤 《安徽师范大学学报(人文社会科学版)》2011,39(1)

宋代选人改官,磨勘之后,尚需君主引对,获得认可,方得脱离选调,进入京朝官序列.随着改官人数日渐增多,选人往往不能按时引对,遂出现了待次问题.宋廷在处理此问题时,从最初的调整引对班次、增加引对人数,到后来通过一系列政策限制改官人数,经过长期摸索,最终在南宋中期后,形成了一套行之有效的应对方案.然而解决待次问题的方案,却没有从根本上解决选人积滞的社会现象.  相似文献   

综合素质评价的神经网络模型及Simulink实现     

王宁  孙晓玲  梁艳 《安徽教育学院学报》2011,(6):15-19

针对大学生综合素质评价过程中存在诸多非定量因素及非线性特征,建立综合素质测评的BP神经网络模型。利用BP神经网络实现对量化评价函数的逼近。所给出的神经网络模型较已有的评价体系具有更高的执行效率,而且还能生成模块化的程序进行推广。利用Matlab软件的Simulink平台对BP神经网络进行仿真计算,该方法可操作性强,不需要进行模糊评测方法过程中的复杂运算,具有较广泛的实用性。  相似文献
