ePortfolio 2009 London — Presentation Transcript

Process and Product assessment with E-Portfolios in the first academic year at the university of teacher education, Rorschach (Switzerland), 2007/08

1. Theoretical background: E-Assessment

Nothing new….

summative and formative assessment methods (Reinmann-Rothmeier & Mandl, 2001; Barret, 2008; Seufert, 2007)

high-flying aims combined with E-Portfolios and their assessment at colleges often ignore learners needs (Ayla, 2006 )

However, E-Portfolios open up multifacited insights into the learning process of students

This situation requiers a change in assessment methods, tending towards techniques of assessing teachers on the basis of narratives or microcontents (Rhim, 2006, Barrett, 2008,)

2. E-Portfolio at the high school of teacher education (St.Gallen, Switzerland)

4. E-Portfolio contents

the teaching profession teaching standards (Swiss teaching union) standards of the govern-ment my learning cognitive skills meta -cognitive skills resource management my motivation qualifications for teaching teachers of tomorrow personal and social skills contact presentation cooperation argumentation reliability management sensitivity emotional competence our learning-group group processes assertive behavior contact care sympathy care

Professional skills: presentations

These are the cards, I used for my presentation.

My teacher told me that I should try to keep in

eye-contact with the public.

I can learn from this that the public is more

important than my PowerPoint presentation.

I think I can use this knoweldge when I have

to present the organisation of our ski-camp

to the parents.

The teaching profession:

Teacher‘s standards

(Swiss teaching union)

For most of these rules, we agreed .

That‘s clear!

However, I think, one has to discuss and to

think about teacher‘s ethics and one has to know

where to seek them.

5. Sample

6. Instruments

1. Questionnaire

t 1 : week 40/07

t 2 : week 08/08

E-Portfolio-Blog

(1 Posting= 30 points,

1.5 ECTS=70% of the total points; 315/450)

3. Feedback-sheets to students ( criteria: Challis, 2005, adapted )

7. Results: students evaluation

“ The students in the next new semester should utilize an e-portfolio because:”

they will acquire new PC skills as well (13.1%)

they will then already know Mahara and can possibly later use the system with their students (17.7%)

the composition of postings supports the consolidation of BSK content (68.5%)

the composition of postings in some ways makes it enjoyable (4.6%)

the composition of postings necessitates the processing of weekly content (65.4%)

one can also read the blogs of others (43.1%)

one learns something easily by doing it (20%)

the feedback from lecturers brings something to it (30.8%)

it is a good method of assessment (43.1%)

8. Results: workload approach of assessing professors

12 E-Portfolios/ assessment end of semester : Ø20h

12 E-Portfolios/ weekly assessment: Ø28h (Ø22 h without outlier)

9. Discussion

Weekly assessment maps:

More positive attitude towards the E-Portfolio

Higher appraisel for the relevance and use of an E-Portfolio

Higher motivation

Clear preference of the weekly assessment method

No significant differences between assessment methods concerning the workload of the professors

Independent of assessment method:

6. Interest, strain

7. Learning progress

8. Increments of learning contents

Perspective:

9. Weekly assessed posts by open feedback function

10. Distinction of training-, monitoring- and assessing function (Dorninger & Schrack, 2008)
