Student Problem

E-learning provides a convenient and efficient way for learning. Formative assessment not only guides student in instruction and learning, diagnose skill or knowledge gaps, but also measures progress and evaluation. An efficient and convenient e-learning formative assessment system is the key character for e-learning. However, most e-learning systems didn’t provide methods for assessing learners’ abilities but true-score mode. In this article, Sato’s Student-Problem Chart (SP Chart) is applied to integrate with our proposed on-line assessment system. Teachers are able to analyze each learner easily and efficiently. In addition, the Bloom Taxonomy of Educational Objective supports each item in our assessment management system during the authoring time. In our proposed system, it provides groups of function for student, teacher, and system administrator. According to the SP Chart analysis and Bloom taxonomy of items, we can divide all items into four types, and students into six types. With these types of diagnosis analysis chart, teacher can modify or delete the items which are not proper. With diagnosis analysis chart of students, teachers can realize learners’ learning situation easily and efficiently.

Exploration Environment

A GSP integrated learning and assessment system (LAS-GSP) is developed to provide students an interactive exploration environment and on-line feedbacks on geometric problem solving. Three tasks of maximal segmentation are developed to investigate the applicability and intervention effect of the system. There are four scoring elements for students’ on line assignments: (1) systematic approaches, (2) correct solutions, (3) originality of representation, and (4) function derived. The characteristics of students’ learning progress are discussed by the scoring rubrics applied. The results suggest abstract geometric concepts can be visualized, internalized, and enhanced at an earlier age, if mind-tool can be effectively implemented.

RESUMOO modelo de ensino híbrido do Grupo Ânima propõe avaliações somativas e formativas. Estas avaliações são importantes para o percurso de aprendizagem dos alunos. O artigo analisa o modelo de ensino híbrido utilizado pela UNA, IES do Grupo Ânima, na disciplina Empreendedorismo, em duas turmas sob a ótica de uma experiência de aprendizagem, na plataforma on-line. O estudo apontou que o acesso ao conteúdo pelos alunos aumenta quando se estimula a participação de uma atividade formativa no ambiente on-line. Na turma de 54 alunos, 37 alunos (69%) realizaram a atividade no ambiente on-line. Na outra turma de 76 alunos, 67 alunos (88%) realizaram a atividade. Nas duas turmas, as notas foram em sua maioria 100%, de acordo com os critérios estabelecidos por uma rubrica: compreensão da atividade e conhecimento do conteúdo. Desta forma, a avaliação formativa pode elevar o engajamento dos estudantes nas disciplinas híbridas, especialmente no ambiente on-line de aprendizagem.Palavras-chave: Avaliação formativa.

These assessments are important for students' learning pathway. The article analyzes the hybrid teaching model used by UNA, IES of the Ânima Group, in the Entrepreneurship discipline, in two classes from the perspective of a learning experience, in the online platform. The study pointed out that students' access to content increases when stimulating the participation of a formative activity in the online environment. In the class of 54 students, 37 students (69%) posted the activity in the online environment. In the other class of 76 students, 67 students (88%) performed the activity. In both classes, the grades were mostly 100%, according to the criteria established by one rubric: comprehension of the activity and knowledge of the content. In this way, formative assessment can enhance student engagement in hybrid subjects, especially in the online learning environment.Keywords: Formative assessment. Blended learning.

The Fourier Transform

In the past few years on-line digital television frame store devices coupled to computers have been employed to attempt to measure the microscope parameters of defocus and astigmatism. The ultimate goal of such tasks is to fully adjust the operating parameters of the microscope and obtain an optimum image for viewing in terms of its information content. The initial approach to this problem, for high resolution TEM imaging, was to obtain the power spectrum from the Fourier transform of an image, find the contrast transfer function oscillation maxima, and subsequently correct the image. This technique requires a fast computer, a direct memory access device and even an array processor to accomplish these tasks on limited size arrays in a few seconds per image. It is not clear that the power spectrum could be used for more than defocus correction since the correction of astigmatism is a formidable problem of pattern recognition.

Minimum Distances

A Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM) was coupled to a small computer. The system (see Fig. 1) has been built using a Philips EM400, equipped with a scanning attachment and a DEC PDP11/34 computer with 34K memory. The gun (Fig. 2) consists of a continuously renewed tip of radius 0.2 to 0.4 μm of a tungsten wire heated just below its melting point by a focussed laser beam (1). On-line operation procedures were developped aiming at the reduction of the amount of radiation of the specimen area of interest, while selecting the various imaging parameters and upon registration of the information content. Whereas the theoretical limiting spot size is 0.75 nm (2), routine resolution checks showed minimum distances in the order 1.2 to 1.5 nm between corresponding intensity maxima in successive scans. This value is sufficient for structural studies of regular biological material to test the performance of STEM over high resolution CTEM.

Projection Angle

Three-dimensional (3D) microstructure visualization on the electron microscope requires that the sample be tilted to different positions to collect a series of projections. This tilting should be performed rapidly for on-line stereo viewing and precisely for off-line tomographic reconstruction. Usually a projection series is collected using mechanical stage tilt alone. The stereo pairs must be viewed off-line and the 60 to 120 tomographic projections must be aligned with fiduciary markers or digital correlation methods. The delay in viewing stereo pairs and the alignment problems in tomographic reconstruction could be eliminated or improved by tilting the beam if such tilt could be accomplished without image translation.A microscope capable of beam tilt with simultaneous image shift to eliminate tilt-induced translation has been investigated for 3D imaging of thick (1 μm) biologic specimens. By tilting the beam above and through the specimen and bringing it back below the specimen, a brightfield image with a projection angle corresponding to the beam tilt angle can be recorded (Fig. 1a).
