Teaching And Assessment Of Students Taking A First Year, Level 7 Subject: Analysis And Actions, Aidan O'Dwyer
Teaching And Assessment Of Students Taking A First Year, Level 7 Subject: Analysis And Actions, Aidan O'Dwyer
Conference papers
This contribution critically analyses the teaching and assessment strategies used on the core Electrical Systems subject in the first year of a three-year, Level 7, degree programme in Electrical Engineering at Dublin Institute of Technology. The author has the responsibility for development and instruction in the subject since 2004. In the 2004-5 and 2005-6 academic years, the didactic teaching approach and the assessment strategy ensured good educational outcomes. This was not the case in the 2006-7 academic year. The contribution will analyse the reasons for this, taking an evidence-based approach (i.e. analysing the assessment data in detail). Two conclusions that …
The Impact Of The Bologna Process On The Design Of Higher Education Programmes In Europe, Frank Mcmahon
The Impact Of The Bologna Process On The Design Of Higher Education Programmes In Europe, Frank Mcmahon
Books/Book chapters
This paper outlines the growing influence the Bologna Process is having on higher education in an increasing number of European countries. Starting in 1999 with relatively modest, tentative proposals for reform in twenty-nine countries, the process now encompasses forty-five countries and has become gradually more ambitious in its scope and more insistent in seeking compliance with its objectives. The potential benefits of the process are outlined as well as the possible negative effects. The paper analyses the “promotion of the necessary European dimensions in higher education,” and in particular, it focuses on the role of student mobility programmes in the …

Preparation And Accreditation Of Level 7 Engineering Programmes, Mark Mcgrath
Preparation And Accreditation Of Level 7 Engineering Programmes, Mark Mcgrath
Conference Papers
Accreditation of 3rd level educational programmes by a suitably recognised professional body is of particular relevance in relation to engineering. The completion of a sequence of modules which leads to the attainment of this professionally recognised award is viewed as integral to the undertaking. The engineering technology fields are developing and expanding rapidly and the third level sector must keep abreast of these changes. This is essential if the third level institutions wish to continue delivering programmes which produce graduates who can successfully complete the transition from 3rd. Level to the various engineering sectors.
This paper outlines various aspects …

Activity Systems Within Blended Problem-Based Learning In Academic Professional Development, Roisin Donnelly
Activity Systems Within Blended Problem-Based Learning In Academic Professional Development, Roisin Donnelly
Articles
Blending face-to-face and online problem-based learning environments presents opportunities for both learners and lecturers to take part in collaborative knowledge construction. Activity theory is a suitable framework to investigate such environments and the learning processes that both sets of participants experience when engaging in these complementary environments. This paper attempts to map out the potential for activity systems using a blended problem-based learning approach through the exploration of an accredited academic staff development programme in Ireland. Firstly, an analysis of tool use and the discourse that participants and tutors engage in is presented. Secondly, tutor reflections about the evolution of …
