Providing Evidence Teacher Candidates Teach Well, How Well They Teach, And How We Know, John Hobe
Providing Evidence Teacher Candidates Teach Well, How Well They Teach, And How We Know, John Hobe
Georgia Educational Research Association Conference
How do we decide what teacher candidates need to do well in a program, how well they do it, and how do we know, will be seen, heard, and discussed. Participants will receive activities, with examples, explaining how these decision are made so program standards are demonstrated and assessed. Procedures for video evidence gathered during field experiences and related to decided standards and requirements, including edTPA, will be analyzed with presentation participant involvement. This research project is in progress.
Greening An Integrated Marketing Communication's Course: An Assessment Of Sustainability Literacy, Pia A. Albinsson, G. David Shows
Greening An Integrated Marketing Communication's Course: An Assessment Of Sustainability Literacy, Pia A. Albinsson, G. David Shows
Atlantic Marketing Association Proceedings
This article showcases efforts of incorporating Sustainability Issues in an Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) class during three semesters during the academic years of 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. The course was re-designed using Fink’s (2013) course recommendations of designing significant learning goals. In addition to the way the course was delivered (both face-to-face and online), the instructor worked with a Higher Ed publisher to customize a textbook to include sustainability issues related to the course content (i.e., reflecting IMC topics). The course re-design included sustainability assignments such as Virtual Field Trips (visiting corporate websites and other organizations to study their CSR statements …
Florida's Voluntary Prekindergarten (Vpk) Program's Influence On Preschool Teachers' Beliefs And Practices, Laura J. Monsalvatge
Florida's Voluntary Prekindergarten (Vpk) Program's Influence On Preschool Teachers' Beliefs And Practices, Laura J. Monsalvatge
South Florida Education Research Conference
Three veteran preschool teachers told their stories about navigating the implementation of VPK. Even with parents' misconceptions about VPK's goals, teachers were able to meet its standards by continuing to embrace a play-based, hands-on philosophy that also emphasized children's social and emotional needs.
Assessment In Interactive Learning Environments, Michael Timms, Jason Lodge
Assessment In Interactive Learning Environments, Michael Timms, Jason Lodge
2009 - 2019 ACER Research Conferences
There is an increasing interest in using digital technologies to create interactive learning environments (ILEs) that both teach and assess student skills that are hard or impossible to assess using ‘static’ items such as traditional, multiple-choice questions. These interactive learning environments try to do two things simultaneously: firstly, to monitor the learning of the student in real time, providing feedback to help the student progress through the learning task; and secondly, to use the information gathered during the learning to make judgements about where the student is in learning of the topic. Essentially, ILEs draw upon the same source of …
Measuring What Matters: Challenges And Opportunities In Assessing Science Proficiency, James W. Pellegrino
Measuring What Matters: Challenges And Opportunities In Assessing Science Proficiency, James W. Pellegrino
2009 - 2019 ACER Research Conferences
A key challenge in shaping science learning for the future will be to develop new measures of learning that take into account what it means to be proficient in science (Pellegrino, 2013). The emergent view on proficiency, grounded in learning sciences research, emphasises using and applying knowledge in the context of disciplinary practice. Referred to as knowledge-in-use, this perspective on science proficiency is a centrepiece of the United States’ National Research Council’s (NRC) Framework for K–12 Science Education (NRC, 2012), embodied in the new US national standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013) and emphasised in the recently released NRC report on …
Learning Assessments: Designing The Future, Geoff N. Masters
Learning Assessments: Designing The Future, Geoff N. Masters
2009 - 2019 ACER Research Conferences
Processes for assessing student learning are undergoing fundamental transformation.This presentation will consider three developments which can be expected to shape how student learning is assessed in the future. First is fundamental change in how assessment is conceptualised and approached, with a focus on monitoring learning. Second is growing interest in the assessment of a broader range of skills and attributes than those addressed in most current assessment efforts. Third is advances in technology which are opening the door to new ways of gathering information about student learning, including through records of real-time interactions in online learning environments. In ACER’s Centre …
Rubrics For Easily And Accurately Assessing Speaking And Listening Proficiency From Novice Through Distinguished, Catherine T. Johnson
Rubrics For Easily And Accurately Assessing Speaking And Listening Proficiency From Novice Through Distinguished, Catherine T. Johnson
South East Coastal Conference on Languages & Literatures (SECCLL)
Accurately assessing student performance helps instructors develop more effective classroom materials to increase proficiency in the target language. In order to facilitate this process in my classroom, I have developed rubrics for Speaking and Listening that are based on ACTFL guidelines, and that can be easily modified to suit the specific needs of any language at all levels from Novice through Distinguished. Thus, these rubrics can be very useful not only for the individual instructor, but also for language departments that wish to use a common rubric for assessing student performance.
At the end of the session, participants will be …
Assessing Student Learning, Dr. Susan Hatfield
Assessing Student Learning, Dr. Susan Hatfield
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
Plans to assess student learning are only useful if they are practical, meaningful and sustainable. This workshop will present a step-by-step approach for implementing a student learning assessment plan that will provide useful data for program improvement.
Preparing And Using Classroom Observations In Faculty Teaching Evaluations, Peggy A. Thelen
Preparing And Using Classroom Observations In Faculty Teaching Evaluations, Peggy A. Thelen
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
Department chairs charged with evaluating faculty teaching often receive no formal observation and assessment training. This session offers suggestions for the organization, implementation, and reflection of the faculty teaching evaluation process. We will also discuss the difficulties and successes of the faculty teaching evaluation process.
