Use Of Assessment

Artiklen skitserer kort de sidste 40-50 års udvikling i naturfagene op til det nuværende fokus på undersøgelsesbaseret undervisning og udvikling af kompetencer. Den påpeger hvorledes mange traditionelle evalueringsformer, især brugt ved eksamen, ikke er i stand til at indfange de ønskede kompetencer, hvorfor de har svært ved at slå igennem i den daglige undervisning. Med udgangspunkt i en model af sammenhængene mellem formativ og summativ brug af evaluering argumenteres for nødvendigheden af større alignment mellem naturfagenes formål, pædagogik og evalueringsformer. Artiklen giver eksempler fra en række danske og internationale forskningsprojekter på udvikling og implementering af evalueringsformer, der kan indfange de nye læringsmål og som brugt formativt kan fremme deres læring. Den viser hvilke muligheder og udfordringer de rummer for lærere, og hvorledes en meget struktureret brug af evalueringer kan risikere at elevmotivationen forskydes fra en mestringsorientering hen mod en præstationsorientering. Afslutningsvis bliver der peget på forskellige måder til at håndtere modsætningerne mellem en formativ og en summativ brug af evalueringer. Dels gennem tiltag, der mindsker karakterpresset i skolen, og dels gennem udvikling af nye eksamensformer, der er i bedre overensstemmelse med en kompetenceorienteret undervisning.Nøgleord: kompetencer, evaluering, naturfag, motivation, karakterer Assessment of science competencesAbstractThe article briefly outlines the past 40-50 years of development in science education up to the current focus on inquiry-based teaching and competence development. It points out how many traditional forms of assessment, especially used for examinations, are unable to capture the desired competences, which makes them difficult to realize in daily teaching.Based on a model of the relationships between formative and summative use of assessment, it is argued for the need for greater alignment between the goals in science subjects, teaching and assessment. The article provides examples from a number of Danish and international research projects on the development and implementation of assessment methods that can capture the new learning objectives and which used formatively can promote their learning. It demonstrates what opportunities and challenges they have for teachers, and how a highly structured use of assessment may risk shifting student motivation from a mastering orientation towards a performance orientation. In conclusion, different ways are identified to deal with the contradiction between a formative and a summative use of assessment. Partly through actions that reduce the level of pressure in school for high marks, and partly through the development of new forms of assessment that are in better accordance with a competence-oriented education.Keywords: competences, assessment, science education, motivation, grading

The 1960S

Recently, a number of groups sponsored large international research projects that are concerned with business history. Harm G. Schröter's group investigated the European integration that followed the Treaty of Rome in 1957 in order to discover whether it had led to the appearance of a characteristically “European” corporation. Franco Amatori, Camilla Brautaset, and Youssef Cassis coordinated an analysis with the ambitious title “The Performance of European Business in the Twentieth Century.” The projects shared some common “Chandlerian” features: they were problem-oriented, comparative studies of the long-term development of large enterprises, and their goal was to propose illuminating generalizations. Such Chandler-inspired studies are likely to undergo a renaissance in the next couple of years. Still, as the term “renaissance” implies, Chandler's impact on European business studies has undergone upswings and downturns over the past four decades.

Publication Patterns

The authors in this article first identify the extent to which research articles published in three American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) journals included participants, age birth to 18 years, from international backgrounds (i.e., residence outside of the United States), and go on to describe associated publication patterns over the past 12 years. These patterns then provide a context for examining variation in the conceptualization of ethnicity on an international scale. Further, the authors examine terminology and categories used by 11 countries where research participants resided. Each country uses a unique classification system. Thus, it can be expected that descriptions of the ethnic characteristics of international participants involved in research published in ASHA journal articles will widely vary.

Capability Building

AbstractIt is well-established that the process of learning and capability building is core to economic development and structural transformation. Since knowledge is ‘sticky’, a key component of this process is learning-by-doing, which can be achieved via a variety of mechanisms including international research collaboration. Uncovering significant inter-country research ties using Scopus co-authorship data, we show that within-region collaboration has increased over the past five decades relative to international collaboration. Further supporting this insight, we find that while communities present in the global collaboration network before 2000 were often based on historical geopolitical or colonial lines, in more recent years they increasingly align with a simple partition of countries by regions. These findings are unexpected in light of a presumed continual increase in globalisation, and have significant implications for the design of programmes aimed at promoting international research collaboration and knowledge diffusion.

The William T. Grant Foundation supports eight consortia, each devoted to a specific issue, and each consisting of ten to twenty members from a Variety of scientific disciplines. Our purpose is to provide a forum for discussion of ideas, research, and conceptual and theoretical bases of that research to individuals who work in related areas, but who might not under other circumstances have easy communication with each other, especially in the preliminary stages of the development of their research projects. By the time national meetings occur, projects are of necessity completed, and there is no chance for modification using an interdisciplinary approach. We have been very pleased with this device to bring research workers of different disciplines together. The newest of these consortia is devoted to the Developmental Psychobiology of Stress and includes pediatricians, psychologists, and anthropologists who work on both human and animal models. This group moved promptly in their first meeting to bring together a talented group of researchers from different disciplines; the results of their research are presented in this supplement. They well exemplify the advances that have been made in recent years in methodology to study mind-body interactions in infants and older children. Methodologic barriers in the past have limited research on stress in humans. It is stimulating and exciting to see that these barriers are beginning to be overcome, and that research such as is presented here is illuminating this exciting new field. It has enormous application to pediatric practice and child health in the future.

History belongs to a compulsory element in the teaching and learning at school. It can help students to know and more appreciate the past events. The number of history materials taught at school sometimes causes difficulty for students to learn. The lack of facilities and learning media which can attract student’s interest becomes the main factors of student’s difficulty in learning Social Science. Learning medium is very vital to determine what materials students can learn. One of solutions to solve difficulty in learning history is by creating new learning medium in the form of educational game as it can arouse student’s ability in thinking. One of the games teaching history particularly the history of Surabaya is Dreamcatcher: War of Surabaya. This game was designed based on historical events in Surabaya composed in an attractive story. It is completed with quiz to improve student’s memory. Game “Dreamcatcher: War of Surabaya” can be played with android platform and it is considered successful in teaching the history of Surabaya as it could improve students’ abilities on Surabaya history by 113.7% based on the results of pre-and post-tests.

Professional development in schools is not a new concept; however, the impact of new technologies in the past two decades has shown it is important to incorporate research-based strategies in order to be effective. While strategies for curriculum-focused trainings may have been effective in the past, technology-focused training must take a different approach in the 21st century. Effective professional development will positively impact student achievement and is critical for sustainable school reform. This chapter addresses the importance of developing a new learning environment conducive to supporting professional development in technology. Key strategies necessary to support students’ needs in the 21st century are explained. Without an emphasis on specific activities and opportunities throughout the phases of planning and implementation, professional development will not be sustainable and student achievement will not be impacted.
