How effectively do master's students in computer-based education learn?

Zhang, Xin Sheng 27 February 2009 (has links)
M.Ed. / Die doel van hierdie studie is om te bepaal hoe effektief ’n interaktiewe leersisteem gedurende die Meesterskursus in Rekenaar gebaseerde onderrig te RAU, is. Ten einde hierdie navorsingsdoel te bereik, is die volgende doelwitte as riglyn vir die navorsing geformuleer: • om ’n literêre oorsig te verkry ten einde vas te stel hoe die effektiwiteit van leer bepaal kan word; • om ’n evalueringsinstrument op te stel wat die effektiwiteit van leer bepaal deur die gebruik van die Kirckpatrick-model vir leerevaluering; en • om te bepaal, deur middel van ’n evaluerings- gevallestudie, hoe effektief studente in hierdie ondersoek geleer het om ’n onderrigplan te ontwerp deur middel van ’n interaktiewe leersisteem. Die rasionaal van die studie het tot die volgende navorsingsvraag, gelei: “Hoe effektief het Meestergraad-studente in rekenaargebaseerde die ontwerp van ’n onderrigplan onder die knie gekry deur gebruik te maak van ’n interaktiewe leersisteem?” ’n Kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering is gevolg. Die navorsingsmetode wat vir hierdie studie gebruik is, is ’n gevallestudie wat ’n in-diepte begrip van die leerderondervinding en effektiwiteit van leer, geskep het deur gebruik te maak van WebCT. Metodes om data te versamel, om hierdie spesifieke navorsing uit te voer, bestaan uit ’n literatuurstudie (vir die daarstelling van die begrips- en teoretiese raamwerk) asook; en ’n gemengde data-versamelingsmetode wat insluit: waarnemings, vraelyste, onderhoude en die dokument-analise. ’n Kort inleiding van die data-analise, die strategieё wat gevolg is om die betroubaarheid van die studie te waarborg, en ’n beknopte beskrywing van die etiese aspekte wat in ag geneem is vir hierdie studie, is ingesluit. ’n Wye oorsig van die toepaslike literatuur vir hierdie navorsingsondersoek word voorsien. Om die navorsingsvraag te beantwoord, is die begrip leer, eerstens verken en verduidelik deur gebruik te maak van drie leerteorieё, naamlik, Gedragsteorie, Kognitiewe Teorie en Konstruksie-teorie. Tweedens, deur te fokus op die ondersoek van “hoe om die effektiwiteit van leer te meet”, is vier paradigmas en verskeie evalueringsmodelle bestudeer en bespreek. Laastens is Kirckpatrick se viervlak-evalueringsmodel ook bestudeer en bespreek. Hierdie model is gekies as ’n gepaste evalueringsmodel vir die betrokke studie. ’n Oorsig van die Meesterskursus en die onderrigprogram WebCT is gegee. Die werking en samestellende dele van WebCT, wat gebruik is vir hierdie kursus, word kortliks beskryf. Die gekose tema (Tema 5 - Die teorie oor die ontwerp van ’n onderrigprogram) wat gebruik is vir hierdie studie, is ook beskryf en bespreek. Die bevindinge van Vlak Een - Reaksie-evaluering wys dat die kursus se doelwitte bereik is en dat studente die verlangde leeruitkomste ten opsigte van Tema 5 bereik het. Die studente se oorsigtelike evaluering van die onderrigprogram, WebCT was oor die algemeen goed. Volgens die evaluering van die toepaslikheid van die inhoud van Tema 5, wys die bevindinge egter dat die ontwerp van ’n onderrigplan nie heeltemal van toepassing was op elke student se werk nie. Die bevindinge van Vlak Twee - Leerevaluering wys dat na die onderrig van Tema 5, die kennis en vaardighede van die studente oor die ontwerp van ’n onderrigplan aansienlik vermeerder het. Die meerderheid van die studente het ’n positiewe uitkyk gehad oor wat hulle geleer het uit Tema 5. Die bevindinge van Vlak Drie - Gedragsveranderings-/Oordrag van leer-evaluering wys dat die meerderheid studente hulle gedrag op ’n positiewe manier, ten opsigte van Tema 5, verander het. Die bevindinge van hierdie Vlakevaluering wys egter uit dat dit nodig is om die kennis en vaardighede wat gedurende die onderrig verkry is, deur gebruik in die werksplek te versterk. Die bevindinge van Vlak Vier - Resultate-/Organisatoriese invloed- evaluering wys dat die onderrig van Tema 5 nie ’n sterk invloed op die organisasie van studente gehad het nie.

Self-regulation for learners in a master's course in computer-based education.

Van Wyk, Michele Debora 11 February 2009 (has links)
M.Ed. / Selfregulering is sinoniem met akademiese sukses en onafhanklike leer. Selfgereguleerde leerders aanvaar verantwoordelikheid vir hul eie leer en vertoon ’n groter mate van dieper leer as leerders wat nie selfgereguleer is nie. Selfregulering word ook beskou as die blywendste en hoogs erkende uitkoms van leer. Opvoeders het ’n deurslaggewende rol om te speel in die voorbereiding van leerders om op hul eie te leer en in die voorsiening van ’n onderrigomgewing wat die gebruik van selfregulerende prosesse sal kweek. Ondersteuning wat in kursusse ingebou is, kan leerders se selfregulerende praktyke versterk en hulle help om onafhanklike leerders te word. Ongelukkig is selfregulering ’n moeilike onderriguitkoms om te behaal en baie leerders wat by hoëronderwysinstellings inskryf, beskik nie oor die nodige selfreguleringsvaardighede om die eise van hul studie te hanteer nie. Die literatuur het aangedui dat baie min studies uitgevoer is om te ontleed wat opvoeders doen om selfregulering in hul kursusse te ondersteun. Die doel van hierdie studie was om te bepaal in watter mate ondersteuning gebied word vir selfregulering in ’n meestersgraadkursus in rekenaargesteunde onderwys. Die studie het begin met ’n verkenning van die begrip “selfregulering”. Selfregulerende leerstrategieë en -prosesse wat met akademiese sukses en onafhanklike leer verband hou, is geïdentifiseer en vir die ontwikkeling van ’n waarnemingskedule gebruik. Hierdie waarnemingskedule is as die primêre instrument gebruik om die aanwesigheid of afwesigheid van ondersteuning vir selfregulering in die genoemde kursus te bepaal. Fokusgroep- en sleutelinformantonderhoude is gevoer om die leerders se persepsies van die kursus en hoe hierdie persepsies hul leer beïnvloed, te bepaal. Die onderhoude is as aanvullend by die gestruktureerde waarnemingskedule gebruik en is beskou as ’n waardevolle hulpmiddel om die bevindings van die waarnemingskedule te bevestig. Die bevindings van die studie toon duidelik waar ondersteuning vir selfregulering aanwesig is en waar dit steeds ontbreek. Die ingeboude ondersteuning in die kursus bied die leerders ruim geleentheid om die meeste selfregulerende leerstrategieë, maar nie almal nie, aktief te gebruik. Daar is verder vasgestel dat die leerders se verhoogde betrokkenheid by selfregulering oor die algemeen hul onafhanklikheid, akademiese prestasie en leeroordrag skyn te verbeter.

College and Career Readiness: Essays on Economics of Education and Employment

Zhou, Yang January 2022 (has links)
This dissertation consists of three quantitative studies analyzing educational policies and programs that help to improve college readiness, college success, as well as the transition from college to the labor market. The first chapter studies the impact of raising the bar for high school math on college readiness and success. The chapter examines the causal effects of recent state-level reforms increasing the high school graduation math requirement on high school graduation and college outcomes. Using nationally-representative survey data, the study exploits variation in the reform timing across states in a staggered difference-in-difference framework. Findings indicate that raising the high school graduation requirement in math coursework is a potentially effective policy tool to prepare students better for college, but highlight racial disparities in the effectiveness of the math reforms. The second chapter discusses experiential learning through work-based courses at 2-year and 4-year colleges. Experiential learning is a critical component for a smooth transition from higher education to the workforce. In this chapter, I apply an innovative text mining technique to identify and analyze work-based courses from transcript data. The study examines patterns and post-degree labor market outcomes of taking work-based courses at college, and has important implications for colleges and policymakers to better support students on gaining from the courses. The third chapter estimates heterogeneity in labor market returns to Master’s degrees. Using an individual fixed effects model with rich administrative data, the study provides up-to-date causal evidence on labor market returns to Master’s degrees, and examines heterogeneity in the returns by field area, student characteristics, and the macroeconomic condition in which students graduate and enter the labor market. Findings show that obtaining a Master’s degree increases quarterly earnings, but the return varies widely by field of study. And economic downturns appear to reduce but not eliminate the positive return to a Master’s degree.

Marriage and participation in postgraduate study : exploring the motivations and experiences of married female psychology masters students.

Hart, Claire 28 March 2013 (has links)
The profession of Psychology in post-apartheid South Africa has been dominated by women, despite attempts to address issues of equity, access and redress in recruitment and training. Certain obstacles to entering the profession, that may be specifically relevant to men, included the longevity and cost of training; the notion that Psychology is a ‘woman’s profession’; and the appeal of more lucrative job opportunities. Women, on the other hand, were often encouraged to enter female-dominated professions such as Psychology and financial support either from one’s family or an economically-independent partner facilitates the pursuit of this career trajectory. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of married females who were embarking on postgraduate study. Using semi-structured interviews, eight married female participants currently enrolled in Professional Masters programmes provided in-depth information on why they took on the dual adjustment of marriage and postgraduate study and what were the challenges and benefits associated with this process. Thematic content analysis was used to interpret these accounts which revealed that the dating phase of relationships often concluded as postgraduate study commenced due to the longevity of the study trajectory. To address the accompanying relationship insecurity, marriage was idealised as offering enhanced security and stability. Despite the notion that Masters and marriage would complement each other in order to overcome the difficulties of marriage and postgraduate study, a blurring of boundaries was experienced between the perceived challenges and benefits as the idealised complementarity was not actualised. Using feminist theory, the study added value to debates on the perpetuating influence of chauvinistic notions regarding marriage and career development for women inherent in the family life cycle theory, as well as explored the implications of the “feminisation” of the profession of Psychology on recruitment, training and future practice of female Psychologists.

Under Wendy Bishop’s Eye: An Autofictional Account of Teaching and Learning in a 21st Century (Creative) Writing Program

Roosevelt, Maura January 2023 (has links)
“Under Wendy Bishop’s Eye” examines the teaching, learning, and social environment of a graduate student in an American creative writing MFA program in the early years of the 21st century. This dissertation is a work of autofiction; it is both an autoethnography and a fictionalized story written in the form of a novel. The project uses the scholarship of writing studies’ leader Wendy Bishop to discuss and analyze the dynamics of graduate student learning in creative writing courses, undergraduate learning in creative writing courses, graduate student teaching in creative writing courses, and graduate student teaching in expository writing or first-year composition courses at a four-year college. The project addresses the limitations of the “workshop method” for teaching creative writing, while supporting the benefits of writing pedagogy that includes cross-genre writing exercises in all university-level writing courses, specifically bringing “personal writing” and creative non-fiction into both creative writing and first-year composition course.
