A review of contemporary trends in Higher Education assessment
2015
La evaluación tiene una gran importancia, y contribuye significativamente al aprendizaje de los estudiantes, sobre todo cuando está diseñada para ser adecuada a su propósito, cuando es auténtica y está centrada en la integración de la evaluación con el aprendizaje (lo que comúnmente se denomina evaluación para el aprendizaje). Sobre la base de buenas prácticas internacionales, este artículo propone doce tendencias actuales de evaluación y diez principios para asegurar buenas prácticas, al tiempo que se reconoce que este es un campo en constante evolución, que continuará siendo un reto para los académicos que se impliquen en la evaluación. Assessment is of high importance and contributes sig…
Assessment of Academic Literacy
2015
La alfabetización académica se ha convertido en uno de los objetivos de la Educación Superior, donde la escritura se transforma en una herramienta de aprendizaje. El Marco Español de Cualificaciones para la Educación Superior (MECES) gradúa los resultados de aprendizaje esperados en los estudiantes universitarios en relación a la alfabetización académica en los títulos oficiales de Grado, Máster y Doctorado. La evaluación de la alfabetización académica se plantea como una comunidad de discurso donde el objeto y objetivo, las tareas, las modalidades, los criterios y los estándares de evaluación se centran en el proceso de la escritura epistémica en un contexto académico. Una evaluación para …

Self-regulated Learning in Physical Education: An Analysis of Perceived Teacher Learning Support and Perceived Motivational Climate as Context Depend…
2019
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between teacher learning support, motivational climate and self-regulated learning in upper-secondary school physical education. A sample consisting of 554 upper secondary school students from Norway (Mage = 17.05, SD = 0.91) answered a survey pertaining to their everyday experiences in physical education. A multiple regression based structural equation model indicated that teacher learning support, ego-involving motivational climate and task-involving motivational climate were all significant positive predictors of self-regulated learning, with teacher learning support emerging as the most prominent predictor. These …
Assessment conception patterns of Finnish pre-service special needs teachers : the contribution of prior studies and teaching experience
2021
The main aim of this study was to investigate how Finnish pre-service special needs teachers’ (N = 134) assessment conceptions, prior academic studies in special education and teaching experience together cluster into different patterns representing different student types. Their assessment conceptions formed three main factors: 1) assessment measures learning, 2) assessment supports teaching and learning, and 3) assessment as a harmful action. All three factors were emphasised differently in each pattern. Assessment conceptions, prior studies, and teaching experience were clustered together in three different patterns: Assessment Criticals, Assessment Positives, and Assessment Cautious. Th…
Rethinking practices of assessment for learning: Tablet technology supported assessment for learning mathematics
2013
This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. It is challenging for teachers of large classes to regularly assess students' mathematics in order to help them improve their learning achievement. Given the complexity of assessing and providing feedback for learning, a new approach to assessment for learning was suggested. Media tablet technology supported assessment processes were devised and user studies were conducted in Norway and Rwanda. There are indications that students like to be involved in assessing each other's mathematics work. Students expect to get learning gains by providing and obtaining feedback to/from their peers using technology supported tools.
Repositioning teachers as assessors : Compromised aspirations and contested agency
2021
The global trend to emphasise assessment for learning brings up the issue of repositioning teachers in assessment. The contemporary curricular policy reforms encourage teachers to take an agentic role in assessment, but multiple dimensions of the environment affect its realisation. Drawing on an ecological approach to teacher agency, this empirical study investigated how Korean secondary English teachers (KSETs) perceive and enact their own teacher agency in assessment within the ecosystem of Korean education. The dataset for the study comprises semi-structured interviews with 15 KSETs. The interview questions involved the main themes such as personal experiences over the life course regard…
Valutazione formativa e didattica a distanza all’Università
2021
La valutazione per l’apprendimento (assessment for learning) e la valutazione come apprendimento (assessment as learning) sono concetti che recentemente hanno assunto un ruolo centrale nella letteratura sull’argomento. Il contributo illustra, dopo una esplicitazione delle caratteristiche dei due approcci, un’esperienza di valutazione per l’apprendimento e come apprendimento in Università. La ricerca si propone di descrivere come 125 studenti del corso di Laurea Magistrale di Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università di Palermo partecipino abitualmente al processo di valutazione e percepiscano l’utilità della valutazione formativa e i benefici del ricevere feedback. I dati raccolti …
Using assessment for learning mathematics with mobile tablet based solutions
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET). Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.3991/ijet.v9i2.3219 This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. Teachers of large classes face the challenge of regularly assessing students’ ongoing mathematical learning achievements. Taking the complexity of assessment and feedback for learning as a background, we have developed a new approach to the assessment for learning mathematics at university level. We devised mobile tablet technology supported assessment processes, and we carried out user studies in both Rwanda and Norway. Results of …
"I could give up many things but not that" : teachers' and pupils' experiences of using the European Language Portfolio in assessment
2015
Arviointi on olennainen osa opetusta ja oppimista kouluissa. Kielitaidon arviointiin vaikuttavat käsitykset kielitaidosta ja aikojen saatossa kielitaidon arviointi on muuttunut lähes mekaanisesta kielitaidon osa-alueiden mittaamisesta monipuolisempaan kielenkäytön arviointiin (ks. esim. Rea-Dickins 2012: 12). Perinteisen kielitaidon testauksen juuret ovat kuitenkin yhä syvällä arviointikulttuurissamme ja vasta viime vuosikymmeninä on alettu painottaa testeille vaihtoehtoisten arviointimetodien tärkeyttä. Johtava ajatus nykypäivän kouluarvioinnissa on, että kaiken arvioinnin tulisi edistää oppimista. Lisäksi oppilaiden tulisi olla aktiivisesti osallisina arvioinnissa. Yksi monipuolinen työka…
