Measurement Advances and Challenges in Competency Assessment in Higher Education
2016
Domain-specific and generic competencies have become target outcomes of students' learning in higher education, and competency assessment plays an increasingly important role in higher education on an international scale. Recent reviews of the literature show that there is still a substantial lack of research on assessment practices in higher education, especially on measurement models and valid instruments for competency assessment. This special issue provides an overview of current international research and innovative developments in this research area, covering a broad range of assessment perspectives, addressing prevalent shortcomings of educational assessment practices, and presenting…

Testing the participatory education evaluation concept in a national context
2012
Abstract The article focuses on the realisation of participatory evaluation (PE) in national educational evaluation activity. The realisation of PE is examined by adapting the Daigneault and Jacob model (2009 ; originally Cousins & Whitmore, 1998 ) to five national-level educational evaluations carried out in Finland. According to the chosen frame of reference, self-evaluation regarding the realisation of these five evaluations as well as the analysis of reports that are yielded from the evaluations is used as the research method. PE was realised at a general level in the Finnish national level educational evaluations, but during the process there were considerable differences between the s…
Evolution et structure des compétences des élèves à l'école élémentaire et au collège : une analyse empirique des évaluations nationales
2006
Il s'agit de la synthèse du rapport final en réponse à l'appel d'offres : Maîtrise du langage, diversité des pratiques pédagogiques et socle commun de compétences, pour le Centre Henri Aigueperse, UNSA-Education. La recherche, basée en grande partie sur l'analyse des résultats des élèves aux évaluations nationales, a pour objectif principal de mieux comprendre comment les acquisitions scolaires se structurent dans une double perspective : transversale (à un moment donné de la scolarité) et longitudinale (au cours des cycles d'enseignement). Dans cette optique, des données ont été collectées sur un échantillon d'environ 700 élèves originaires d'une même circonscription scolaire à différents …
La competencia mediática en el profesorado universitario. Validación de un instrumento de evaluación
2018
RESUMEN: La alfabetización mediática del profesorado universitario es un reto de la sociedad actual, para lograr la formación de ciudadanos críticos. Se presenta el proceso de diseño y validación de un cuestionario para conocer el nivel de competencia mediática del profesorado universitario. El análisis de validez y fiabilidad se realizó en dos fases distintas para garantizar la consistencia del instrumento: validación por método Delphi y análisis psicométrico, en una muestra piloto internacional de 260 docentes. El resultado es un cuestionario con ocho dimensiones, cuyos datos de validación y el análisis por dimensiones muestran un instrumento consistente para la recogida de información en…

Este estudio evalúa un procedimiento nuevo para el análisis “micro-sociométrico” de los patrones relacionales de género en el alumnado adolescente, lo que se analiza aplicando Análisis de Correspondencias Múltiples (ACM). El propósito del estudio es desarrollar y validar la Escala de Preferencias Relacionales de Género (EPRG), con el fin de obtener datos válidos y fiables que permitan reconocer la predisposición de las chicas y los chicos adolescentes a relacionarse con sus iguales; y, si las relaciones que establecen están condicionadas por la socialización diferencial de género que propone el patriarcado (Bosch, Ferrer & Alzamora, 2006; Lagarde, 1996; Lomas, 2007; Lorente, 2007; Rodríguez…
Organisation and Context, Efficiency and Equity of Educational Systems: what PISA tells us
2005
05065http://www.wwwords.co.uk/eerj/; International audience; After describing both average scores, dispersion, and social inequalities in achievement in the various countries included in the latest Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study, this article relates those ‘products' to country economic and cultural characteristics. It then explores relations between student scores and a number of institutional characteristics of countries' educational systems. Results show that relations exist between average scores and certain institutional or pedagogical practices such as grade repeating or tracking. A high degree of social inequality in achievement proves to be associated wi…

Through the Eyes of an Entangled Teacher: When Classical Musical Instrument Performance Tuition in Higher Education is Subject to Quality Assurance
2020
What happens when a classical music instrument performance course at a Norwegian state university study programme is assessed for quality following a standardized procedure? The article explores frictions and negotiations between managerial quality assurance and classical music performance education in a contextual sense, focusing particularly on the teacher-student relation. I employ my own experience as an instrument performance teacher in a Western Classical Music performance study programme while drawing on state acts, regulations, managerial processes, educational politics, funding, and classical music performance education’s habitus and heritage. I begin by addressing the institution …
Design of Scales to Assess the subjective social value of education for students in primary and secondary school.
2017
Abstract The devaluation of education, related with multiple socio-economic and psycho-school factors may be influencing decisively on academic results. A target level is observed that the socio-economic and cultural level of families can decide the student performance, however, this international trend shows inconsistent results. In addition, in different studies, we can observe that students from disadvantaged backgrounds statistics exceed expectations in performance, surpassing the expected results depending on their socioeconomic and cultural level; and students should achieve optimal results for their family situation do not get the expected performance. An interpretative hypothesis ma…
