Engaging with feedback: How do students remediate errors on their weekly quiz

2018

International audience; Maths for Business is a first-year mathematics module for approximately 500 non-mathematics specialists. It has continuous assessment consisting of ten weekly quizzes, worth 40% of the final mark. In 2016/17, students who did not receive the maximum five marks on their weekly quiz were offered the opportunity to resubmit their quiz, with correction(s) and an explanation of their error(s), for one additional mark. We refer to this process as ‘remediation'. In this paper, we examine how students remediate their errors in order to identify features of a ‘good' remediation. These features are identification, description, and correction of errors. By analysing a subset of…

Portale społecznościowe w życiu współczesnej młodzieży akademickiej

2016

Współczesna młodzież spędza w internecie bardzo dużo czasu. Do najbardziej popularnych form jej aktywności w sieci należy korzystanie z portali społecznościowych - jednego z rodzajów tak zwanych social mediów. Najbardziej znane z nich to: Facebook, Twitter i Instagram, ale liczba tych propozycji jest o wiele większa. Ich użytkownicy skupiają się najczęściej wokół publikowania zdjęć, filmów, komentowania, rozmów czy dyskusji na różne tematy i wielu innych czynności, których specyfika zależy od rodzaju portalu oraz jego funkcji. Treść rozdziału zwraca uwagę na różnorodność serwisów tego typu, a także rodzaj usług, jakie są w nich oferowane. Ponadto omówione zostały korzyści i zagrożenia wynik…

Science education and the “state of the world”: a programme of activities to enhance teacher’s perception of global problems and possible remedies

2003

A literatura sobre formação de professores de ciências não tem tratado suficientemente a situação do mundo quanto a uma percepção global de seus graves problemas atuais. O presente artigo consiste essencialmente de um programa de atividades a ser desenvolvido com professores em formação e em exercício, que visa favorecer uma reflexão coletiva e conscientização sobre essa problemática. Nesta perspectiva é apontado um conjunto de referências e questões para um debate fundamentado sobre vários dos fatores associados à degradação da vida e sobre possíveis medidas para o enfrentamento da emergência planetária. Investigações preliminares sobre a utilização do programa proposto têm revelado result…

Comparing male and female students’ self-efficacy and self-regulation skills in two undergraduate mathematics course contexts

2018

International audience; Students' efficacy beliefs have a positive influence on students' academic achievement and retention, especially for female students. These beliefs are closely linked to students' ability to regulate their learning. In this quantitative study, students' self-efficacy and self-regulation of learning are compared in two university mathematics courses that differ in content but also in their pedagogical setting: one is a more traditional lecture-based course, and the other course is taught with the Extreme Apprenticeship (XA) method. The analysis is based on the same cohort of students in the two contexts (N=91). The results suggest that students have higher self-effica…

The pblm package: semiparametric regression for bivariate categorical responses in R

2014

We present an R package to fit semiparametric regression models for two categorical responses. It works for both nominal and ordered responses and several types of logits can be specified. Proportional, non-proportional and partial proportional odds models can be fitted, with marginal and association parameters estimated in a parametric or semiparametric way, via penalized maximum likelihood estimation. An application to show the potential of the package is carried out on a data set of Italian university students.

Students' usage patterns of video recorded lectures in an undergraduate mathematics course

2018

International audience; It is customary for some universities to offer recordings of live lectures to students. Whether this improves learning and academic performance is debated in the literature. As with most technology, correct usage can lead to increased academic performance, but there are also usage patterns that can be considered counter productive, especially for learning mathematics. In order to investigate patterns in students' usage of such online recorded live lectures, we analyze log files from a server holding the recordings of an undergraduate mathematics course. This poster presents results from the statistical analysis and discusses some of the usage patterns found in light …

Written essay feedback given by a teacher and as experienced by students

2016

Kirjallinen tuottaminen on olennainen osa kielten kouluopetusta Suomessa. Perinteisesti kirjalliset tuotokset arvioidaan ja opettaja antaa niistä palautetta. Tämä kandidaatin tutkielma selvittää yhden lukioryhmän osalta, millaista palautetta opettaja antoi heidän kirjoittamistaan esseistä ja kuinka oppilaat kokivat tämän palautteen. Tutkielmassa on käytetty sekä laadullisia että määrällisiä tutkimusotteita. Ensin oppilaat kirjoittivat lukiokurssillaan esseet, jotka opettaja arvosteli ja antoi niistä kommentteja. Sitten nämä esseet kommentteineen kerättiin ja palautteelle tehtiin sisällönanalyysi teorialähtöisesti Hattien ja Timperleyn mallin (2007) mukaan. Palaute oli pääosin varsin positii…

Engineering students' engagement with resources in an online learning environment

2018

International audience; This study explores engineering students' interactions with different resources in an online learning environment. The constituent resources of this environment involve MyMathLab which is an online interactive system for practicing mathematics, the tutorial videos, and the textbook. We conducted a qualitative case study to observe a small group of undergraduate engineering students interacting with the resources in a Calculus course. Employing the documentational approach to didactics, we identified several techniques while participants used resources to practice mathematics in MyMathLab environment. We discuss the pragmatic and epistemic value of the identified tech…

Skolēna līderprasmju attīstības metodes vispārizglītojošās skolas kontekstā

2015

Mūsdienu Latvijas vispārizglītojošā skolā skolēni apgūst daudz mācību priekšmetu: matemātiku, dabaszinības, valodas, literatūru, u.c. Bet nevienā no šiem priekšmetiem netiek mērķtiecīgi attīstītas komunikācijas prasmes, emociju savaldīšana, empātija un līdera prasmes, kuras ir tik nepieciešamas mūsdienu pasaulē. Šī darba mērķis ir teorētiski izpētīt un praktiski pārbaudīt līdera prasmes attīstības metodes, kuras ir pielietojami skolas vidē. No literatūras analīzes tika secināts, ka līderība ir emocionālās inteliģences augstāka pakāpe, un lai attīstītu līdera prasmes, jāstrādā pie emocionālas inteliģences attīstīšanās. Šim nolūkam darba gaitā bija izstrādāts nodarbības kurss, kurā piedalījās…
