Contradictions in staff and student perceptions of feedback and assessmentmonikap85
This document summarizes research that identified tensions between staff and student perceptions of feedback and assessment practices. An analysis of surveys and focus groups with over 800 students revealed contradictions in how feedback, assessment workload, goals, and fairness were viewed. Students often felt feedback was untimely and lacking detail to help them improve, while staff saw feedback as regular and rich. Students also perceived assessments as overly burdensome, which staff did not intend. There were gaps in communication and understanding between students and staff regarding feedback and assessment expectations and standards.
This document outlines a nursing faculty simulation development program funded by a FIT grant. It includes:
1) Online modules for faculty to complete on simulation concepts.
2) A development day for faculty simulation learning using medical supplies and covering topics like roles, fidelity, and debriefing.
3) Evaluations of faculty knowledge before and after the program using pre- and post-tests based on the online modules and development day.

The document discusses feedback on student assessments and examines student attitudes towards feedback. It presents survey results that show over half of students feel feedback motivates them to study, but under 60% feel it makes clear how to improve. Most students receive written feedback or comments after 1-4 weeks. While written feedback is common, many students say face-to-face feedback would be most useful. The document examines perceptions of students as consumers or co-producers of their education and how this impacts expectations of feedback.
The document summarizes a study on student attitudes towards using e-portfolios at the University of the South Pacific. A pilot course had students use e-portfolios for assignments and assessments. Most students found the e-portfolios a useful learning tool and felt comfortable using them for assessment. However, a minority of students struggled with the technology. Based on the results, the university recommends further developing e-portfolio training and resources while expanding their use to more courses.
- The document provides a summary and analysis of an early reporting pilot project at a college to improve student progress notifications.
- Over 500 students and 13 instructors participated across 28 class sections. Instructors were trained and asked to send at least 3 progress notices to students.
- A survey of 106 students found that most found the emails an effective way to receive information and prompt communication with instructors.
- The college plans to expand training for instructors and use of the early reporting system based on the positive results of the pilot.
This document provides a summary of an early reporting project update from July 11, 2012. It discusses a pilot program involving 521 students across 28 sections where instructors were asked to send progress notifications to students at least 3 times. Surveys found the communications were an effective way for students to receive information and prompted communication with instructors. The program will be expanded to include College 100 courses and KC Online classes. Recommendations include emphasizing notifications for all students and including specific grade information. Next steps involve increasing training options for faculty and working with campus leaders on rollout plans.
This document provides an overview of a module on managing teaching and learning. It discusses several topics related to leading and managing an effective school, including preparing as a curriculum leader, establishing a learning culture, developing plans, and teacher professional development paths. It also examines concepts like distributed leadership, learner attendance and performance, and teacher absenteeism rates. Finally, it presents frameworks for analyzing effective teaching, including considering input/context variables, the teaching and learning processes, and educational outcomes.
The document appears to be a survey conducted with teachers, parents, and children at Kindergarten No. 240 about an Erasmus+ project called "Freedom without Chaos". It includes various charts and graphs depicting the results of the survey. The survey asked about roles and expectations for the project, understanding of its goals to increase freedom while maintaining organization, perceived impacts on child development, and suggestions for changes to the kindergarten. In general, the responses indicated support for the project's aims and belief that it could positively influence children's autonomy, cooperation skills, and happiness at kindergarten.
OWD 2012- 4 -Four years of learning analytics in practice- John CampbellSURF Events
This document summarizes John Campbell's presentation on Purdue University's use of analytics to help identify students at risk of dropping out. It discusses how Purdue developed a tool called Signals to detect early warning signs in student performance data and provide targeted interventions. Analysis of student cohorts found that those who received Signals interventions had significantly higher retention and graduation rates compared to those who did not. The presentation provides advice on how other institutions can build similar analytics capabilities and highlights both the opportunities and challenges to developing actionable intelligence from student data.
The Pearls and Perils of For-Profit Education (Deborah Riemer)ODLAA
Education is on a fast-paced trajectory towards change, but how do institutions do it amidst an environment steeped in tradition? For-profit institutions, in particular, are bearing the brunt of an establishment fearful of change. One of the outcries frequently heard is that for-profits sacrifice academic quality for enrollment numbers. Maintaining quality, while servicing a growing population of students, is not problematic if appropriate systems are put into place that are focused on student learning, steeped in best practices, and designed for scalability. The vision for this design is inclusive of the whole, integrating a systems approach to quality that is incorporated across all levels of the academic unit ˆ the student level, faculty level, and administrator level ˆ and incorporates learning outcomes assessment within a flexible model of program design.

The document summarizes the activities of an IT teacher in Romania to address bullying among students. It includes using online resources, distributing brochures, conducting computer science and sports activities, and administering questionnaires to students and teachers about their experiences with bullying. It then discusses student reactions to anti-bullying presentations and materials, as well as different types of bullying behaviors. Charts are presented showing results from the questionnaires about experiences with and responses to bullying.
Students' interest in research declines as they progress through their acupuncture programs. A 2012 survey of acupuncture students found most recognize benefits of research such as influencing public perception and insurance coverage. However, positive feelings towards research decreased from first to third year students. While research programs may help attitudes, over time students distrust the scientific method more. Overall students see research as important but do not necessarily like it.
The survey results show that students' comfort levels with technology and behaviors in the classroom influence their attitudes toward online courses. Those more comfortable with technology and actively participating in class were more likely to take online courses. While most respondents preferred in-person classes, many saw benefits to hybrid courses, especially for general education classes. The study was limited by biases in responses toward on-campus students, part-time workers, business majors, and sophomores. Recommendations include using assessments to match students to appropriate course formats and increasing online offerings for less comfortable subjects through hybrid models.
The survey asked parents to identify factors critical for parental involvement in schools. Most parents selected the ability to communicate with teachers (100%) and feel welcomed and valued (94.3%) as critical. Other highly selected factors included the ability to communicate with principals (94.3%) and involvement in parent groups (77.1%). The survey also asked parents to identify important aspects of a nurturing school environment for students. Most parents saw feeling safe (94.4%), managing disruptive students (97.2%), and feeling protected to report bullying (91.7%) as important.
This document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by students at the University of Maryland on attitudes towards fitness, health, and athleticism. The survey found that most female students exercise regularly, with common motivations being health, appearance, and social pressures. While athleticism was seen as an attractive quality, some felt pressure from family and media to maintain their appearance. There were equal or more women's athletic teams than men's, but women's teams received less community support. Coaches did not respond to requests for comment on supporting women's athletics.
Retaining Teacher Talent: Convergence and Contradictions in Teachers’ Percept...Amber Ott
This document summarizes a report on a survey of teachers' perceptions of policy reform ideas related to teacher evaluation, compensation, and working conditions. Some key findings:
- Teachers are divided on how effectiveness should be measured, with student engagement being most popular and standardized test scores least popular. Less experienced teachers are more skeptical of using test scores and administrator evaluations.
- Teachers were divided into two groups: self-perceived effective teachers and all other teachers. Effective teachers were more likely to believe student effort is determined by teacher motivation, that their students can go to college with support, and that they can differentiate instruction and create high-quality lessons.
- Policymakers pursuing reforms should involve teachers to bring experience and build
This document summarizes a study on gender differences in academic performance at a university. It discusses the methodology, which involved a questionnaire of 30 male and female students. Graphs show findings like female students averaging higher GPAs and spending more daily hours studying. Analysis found females viewed themselves as above average performers while males saw themselves as average. The conclusion is that gender influences academic pursuits due to differing ethical, behavioral and social environmental factors.
