EUROCALL 2013: Improving revision success with written feedback using an onli...
The effectiveness of written feedback on writing has been extensively investigated. Although the debate concerning the most effective approach to feedback on writing still continues, giving feedback on student writing can considered an important part in the development of writing skills in a foreign language. Typically, previous research has explored the effectiveness of feedback provided using the traditional pen-and-paper method, that is, adding brief handwritten comments on a student paper, such as underlining or coding of grammatical errors, sometimes accompanied by short explanations. Naturally, text processing software provide similar features that allow commenting student texts.
Non-corrective approaches to feedback, in which the students themselves try to correct the errors in their text based on clues or comments, have shown great promise in improving writing skills. In general, the more detailed the feedback, the more time it requires from the teacher to produce the feedback. A more detailed feedback and concrete examples help students to correct any errors in their texts more reliably. However, for the teacher, writing, typing and updating of the explanations is time consuming and reuse complicated.
A more recent approach to providing feedback on writing is to use a text commenting tool which allows reuse of extended commentary, examples and weblinks to student texts. However, only a few studies have investigated the effectiveness of rich feedback currently allowed by such text annotation/feedback tools.
This paper investigates the success rate of undergraduate and graduate engineering students in revising their own texts after receiving rich written feedback provided by the teacher using an online commenting tool. More specifically, this paper aims to determine:
(1) to what extent students are able to revise their text according to teacher feedback?;
(2) what kind of feedback helps students successfully revise their texts?;
(3) what kind of feedback is difficult for students to revise?;
(4) how the use of such a tool influences teacher workload and the quality of the given feedback?
The data included in this study contains an analysis of several hundred individual teacher feedback comments and the corresponding revisions by students. The data was collected from a set of basic undergraduate engineering writing courses with a main focus on academic and scientific writing style.

Martin Carnoy PLenary comment by Elsbeth
This document summarizes a study comparing factors affecting learner achievement in mathematics education between Botswana and South Africa. Some key findings are that Botswana learners scored higher on mathematics tests and had more lessons compared to South Africa. The quality of teachers, their mathematics knowledge and pedagogical skills differed between the countries as did opportunities for students to learn the curriculum. The study recommends increasing instructional time in mathematics, improving teacher training, developing a culture of mathematics, and monitoring implementation of reforms rather than simply increasing resources.

Scaffolded Writing and Reviewing in the Disciplines(SWoRD) is a web-based peer-review system. One of the primary innovations of SWoRD, relative to other peer review tools, is the scoring algorithm through which peer review scores are converted into student grades for both writing and reviewing. In this session, I will discuss my experience with SWoRD, which I used in Spring 2011 for an upper-division writing course for economics majors, replacing my previous system of ‘manual’ peer review (i.e., students swapping papers)Ms 8 step process
The 8 Step Process outlined by Shelbyville Middle School involves eight key steps to improve student achievement: 1) gaining staff buy-in through presentations and discussions, 2) disaggregating assessment data from tests to examine student growth and inform instruction, 3) developing 3-week instructional calendars aligned to state standards, 4) focusing instruction on targeted skills identified from data analysis, 5) administering regular assessments to monitor progress, 6) providing tutorials and enrichment outside of class, 7) maintaining instruction through continued progress monitoring, and 8) monitoring implementation through meetings and observations to ensure resources are used effectively. This process aims to better meet student needs and support their academic success.
Understanding EPAS
The document discusses the Educational Planning and Assessment System (EPAS) and its College Readiness Standards (CRS). The CRS link student scores on the EXPLORE, PLAN, and ACT assessments to curriculum and instruction to improve academic achievement. The CRS provide benchmark scores that indicate students' readiness for college-level courses and the likelihood of earning certain grades. The document also examines strategies to better prepare students for college through high school coursework, teaching, and support systems.
MEDLINE search skill retention
This study measured the retention of MEDLINE searching skills in medical students from their first to fourth years of medical school under a curriculum-integrated instruction model. 102 fourth-year students completed the same MEDLINE search assignment they had in their first year. Scores were compared using t-tests, correlations, and measures of recall, precision, and F-measure. While mean grades did not significantly change, search output quality as measured by recall, precision and F-measure significantly declined. This suggests students retained the search process but their ability to produce high-quality results decreased over time, calling into question what is being effectively taught and assessed.
Experimental Research
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of collaborative learning versus traditional instructional teaching on students' understanding of Information Technology topics. The experiment will involve assigning 50 first-year students to either an experimental group that uses collaborative learning or a control group that uses traditional instructional teaching. The independent variable is the learning approach (collaborative vs. instructional) and the dependent variable is students' module exam results. A t-test will be used to analyze differences in exam scores between the two groups. The results could help improve how practical IT topics are taught.

This document summarizes an analysis of a problem-based learning (PBL) experience in a physics course for technical telecommunications engineering students in Spain. It found that:
1) PBL was implemented over two academic years, starting with mechanics only and expanding to all topics the second year, using problems about motion and telecommunication satellites.
2) Classroom activities and teamwork reports had high success rates over 75%, while post-tests had much higher failure rates around 40%.
3) Student opinion surveys found satisfaction with teamwork and PBL skills declined from the first to second year, possibly due to increasing group sizes, but views of PBL preparation for careers increased.

- 2. Current Developments from ACARA ‘Final’ Australian Curriculum on the web Scope and Sequence A continuum of teaching like we currently have Final (Final?) Australian Curriculum for Mathematics in October 2 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 3. Assessment and Reporting Proposed transition strategy to move from current practices to more nationally consistent assessment and reporting arrangements (to avoid a dual approach). Revise and publish content and achievement standards with work samples; achievement standard linked to mid point on a 5 point scale Mid Oct 2010 – Dec 2011: validate achievement standards; build range of work samples From 2013: longer term policy on assessment and reporting Thursday, 31 March 2011 3
- 4. Resources: Scootle Australian Curriculum Connect http://www.scootle.edu.au/ Example 1 Example 2 Username and password required – see your IT Department (all schools have access) No need for student username/passwords, students use a PIN to access activities you set up. 4 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 5. Senior Curriculum: Year 11-12 Course A There is too much content The number and purpose of the investigations needs to be reviewed More specific information regarding the use of technology Respective topics within the course should be numbered to provide ease and avoid confusion. For example, Statistics 1 in Unit 2 and Statistics 2 in Unit 3 Not enough new material in Statistics beyond what is learnt in F-10 5 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 6. Senior Curriculum: Year 11-12 Course B More challenging than the original intent. Course B is no longer the course that the majority of students will select. There is an emphasis on Statistics in the content, yet this is not yet reflected in the Rationale The Data Analysis topic seems dry and repetitive from F-10 The Price Index Numbers and Financial Modelling units are not accessible to all students in the cohort 6 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 7. Senior Curriculum: Year 11-12 Course C The course is very full for the time allocation and some students will not cope with the level of rigour, knowledge and skills that is being expected of them The time allocation does not allow for examinations at the end of fourth semester Concern there has been so much change and an increase in the amount of Statistics Assumed knowledge should be included for all topics The order of topics need to be considered in relation to the tools needed for Course D Much of the content in Functions and Graphs is revision of Year 10 work 7 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 8. Senior Curriculum: Year 11-12 Course D The growth of Statistics has come at the expense of other topics such as Geometry Less need for geometric proof and more need for algebraic proof A 5 hour time allocation is not suitable for the recursion topic Need for clear statements about the use of technology and what technology should be used. 8 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 9. Senior Curriculum: Year 11-12 States and territories will continue to offer subjects that do not overlap significantly with the Australian Curriculum subjects. The list of Australian Curriculum subjects may grow in time if there is national agreement. Looking at all feedback given Consultation again in Mid 2011 Planned release December 2011 ‘for further consultation in 2012’ 9 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 10. For New South Wales… States continue to offer courses in areas not covered by AC New Syllabus to be presented in an online format (like AC) and also print version, PDF and Word version 10 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 11. Indicative timeline (may change) 11 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 12. Implementation Unofficial policy to have new syllabus documents in schools for a year prior to implementation Option to implement in 2012 for interested schools (?) Implementation 2013 to be ‘substantial’ Senior years – very vague at this stage: what it will look like for NSW is unknown! 12 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 13. New Syllabus Documents Presented in Stages Keep the current Stage 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.3 structure Outcomes retained Key ideas removed Background info retained & updated Working Mathematically converted to the language of the proficiency strands: Problem Solving, Fluency, Understanding and Reasoning) Working Mathematically to be linked to Knowledge and Skills content 13 Thursday, 31 March 2011
- 14. New Syllabus Documents Consultation opportunities in 2011 Give your feedback! Attend the BOS consultation sessions when they are scheduled. Get your departments to look at the Syllabus documents as the come out and give feedback! 14 Thursday, 31 March 2011
