This case study investigating primary teachers’ use of video as a multimodal tool for formative assessment of multiliteracies demonstrates a need for a more nuanced understanding of formative assessment practices. The study asked: What stories do teachers tell about student achievement when they examine multimodal (video) evidence of students at work? And, in what ways might they use this information formatively? The data sources for the study were video clips teachers provided of students at work on routine multiliteracy activities, and interviews with the teachers framed by viewing the videos together. The resulting narratives were analyzed thematically, drawing on sociocultural …

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

An expanding trend in health science education is to replace time spent in traditional clinical settings with high fidelity simulation (HFS). Utilizing a ethnographic methodology to observe students as they engaged in HFS and exploratory interviews to uncover student perceptions, this qualitative work sought to further understand the implications of this trend by exploring what students experienced when they interacted with HFS mannequins in simulated environments. Twenty five students attending a large Ontario community college participated in the twenty two HFS scenarios that were evaluated in this study. While the numerous benefits of HFS identified in the literature were also …
