Effects of L2 Affective Factors on Self-Assessment of SpeakingIwamoto, Noriko January 2015 (has links)
This study was an investigation of the validity of students' self-assessment of L2 oral performance, the influences of L2 affective variables on their self-assessment bias, and the degree to which the influences of L2 affective variables differ between high and low proficiency learners. The participants were 389 science majors from two private Japanese universities. A questionnaire was administered using items based on the Attitude/Motivational Test Battery (Gardner, 1985), the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (Horwtiz et al., 1986), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), Sick and Nagasaka's (2000) Willingness to Communicate Scale, and items designed to measure motivation adapted from Gardner, Tremblay, and Masgoret (1997), Yashima (2002), Irie (2005), and Matsuoka (2006). A factor analysis identified seven factors in the questionnaire data: Self-Esteem, L2 Speaking Anxiety, L2 Willingness to Communicate, Attitude Toward Learning to Speak English, L2 Speaking Motivational Intensity, Desire to Learn to Speak English, and L2 Speaking Self-Confidence. The scales were further validated using the Rasch rating scale model. Student oral interviews were recorded and rated by five English teachers using an oral assessment scale based on the Kanda English Proficiency Test (Bonk & Ockey, 2003).Immediately after the interviews were completed, the participants were asked to consider how they perceived their own speaking performance and they rated their own performance from their memory using the same oral assessment scale that the teacher raters used. The oral assessment scale included the descriptions of the oral performances that match each level. The participants read the descriptions of each level and chose a level that they thought matched their own performance. The study produced four main findings. First, a multi-faceted Rasch analysis revealed that the participants rated their own L2 speaking more severely than the teacher raters and that the students' self-assessments were neither reliable nor consistent. Second, self-assessment bias measures were calculated and used to test a hypothesized structural model of how affective factors influenced self-assessment bias. The hypothesized model showed poor fit to the data, possibly due to the poor reliability of the self-assessment measures. Multiple regression analyses conducted as a follow-up analysis revealed that participants with greater Desire to Learn to Speak English tended to underestimate and those with greater L2 Speaking Self-Confidence tended to overestimate their own speaking performance. Third, 106 participants whose self-ratings were similar to the teachers' ratings were compared with other students in order to examine their distinctive features. However, no significant differences in L2 oral proficiency or affective variable measures were found between the two. Therefore, those whose self-assessments agreed with teachers could have resulted in some agreements that occurred by chance alone. Finally, 100 higher proficiency students were compared with 100 lower proficiency students and the results showed that the higher proficiency students with greater Desire to Learn to Speak English generally underestimated their L2 speaking proficiency, while those with higher Self-Esteem and greater L2 Speaking Self-Confidence tended to overestimate it. Lower proficiency students with greater L2 Speaking Self-Confidence tended to overestimate their L2 speaking proficiency. The results suggest that the self-assessment of L2 speaking might not be a sufficiently reliable or consistent assessment tool. Therefore, if teachers are considering including self-assessment in a speaking class, self-assessment training should be conducted. Additionally, giving L2 learners more opportunities to speak the L2 can help them notice gaps between their productions and those of proficient speakers, which might lead to more accurate self-assessment. Second, although some studies utilized only one teacher-rater, five teacher raters in this study displayed a great deal of diversity and exhibited unique bias patterns, so multiple raters should be employed and Facets analyses should be employed because the multi-faceted Rasch model provides person ability estimates that are adjusted for rater bias. Finally, the use of multi-faceted Rasch analysis is useful for examining oral data because unlike raw scores, multi-faceted Rasch analysis provides detailed information concerning speaker ability, rater severity, and category difficulty. Moreover, while most researchers have utilized self-assessment raw scores, in this study bias measures of self-assessment were calculated using Facets, which indicated that the bias measures produced different outcomes compared with self-assessment scores. / Teaching & Learning

Does Question-Based Learning Increase Student Confidence in Programming? / Ökar frågebaserat lärande studenters självförtroende inom programmering?Snarberg, Hanna, Almqvist, Hanna January 2022 (has links)
An increasingly evident trend within higher education is the transition to online settings and the emergence of new online learning initiatives. This study evaluates an online learning environment which incorporates question-based learning. Previous research has shown that question-based learning accelerates student learning. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect that question-based learning has on self-assessed student confidence in programming, but also on the relation between their confidence and learning outcomes. The latter can be used to measure consistency in self-assessments. Learning outcomes were estimated based on student quiz scores. A gender perspective was also included in the analysis of confidence and learning outcomes. Data on confidence and quiz scores was gathered from 210 students in an introductory programming course between the years of 2018 and 2021. The first two course offerings were given before a question-based learning design was introduced and the following four included a question-based learning approach. This enabled a case-control study, comparing the two learning designs. To analyze the data set, two statistical analysis methods were conducted: multiple linear regression and correlation analysis. The results suggested that the presence of question-based learning design increases correlation between quiz scores and confidence. This indicates that students are more consistent in their self-assessment of confidence with regards to their quiz scores when question-based learning is used. It was also shown that question-based learning design increased students’ confidence in programming. Another finding was that male students reported greater confidence than female students, but the correlation between quiz scores and confidence did not differ significantly between the genders. / En alltmer tydlig trend inom högre utbildning är dess förflyttning till digitala rum samt uppkomsten av nya digitala utbildningsinitiativ. Den här studien har genomförts på en digital lärandemiljö som inkorporerar frågebaserat lärande. Tidigare forskning har visat att frågebaserat lärande påskyndar inlärning. Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka effekten som frågebaserat lärande har på studenters självförtroende i programmering, men också på relationen mellan deras självförtroende och kunskapsnivå. Den senare kan ses som ett mått på hur konsekventa de är i sina självskattningar. Kunskapsnivå estimerades med utgångspunkt i studenters quiz-resultat. Ett genusperspektiv inkluderades också i analysen av självförtroende och kunskapsnivå. Data gällande självförtroende och quiz-resultat samlades in från 210 studenter i en introduktionskurs i programmering mellan åren 2018 och 2021. De två första kursomgångarna gavs innan frågebaserat lärande var introducerat och de påföljande fyra hade frågebaserat lärande implementerat. Detta möjliggjorde en fall-kontrollstudie för jämförelse mellan de två typerna av lärande. Datasetet analyserades med två statistiska analyser: multipel linjär regression och korrelationsanalys. Resultatet antyder att närvaro av frågebaserat lärande ökar korrelationen mellan quiz-resultat och självförtroende. Detta indikerar att studenterna är mer konsekventa i sina skattningar av självförtroende med avseende på deras quiz-resultat när frågebaserat lärande används. Det visades också att frågebaserat lärande ökade studenternas självförtroende inom programmering. Vidare rapporterade män högre självförtroende än kvinnor, men korrelationen mellan quiz-resultat och självförtroende skilde sig inte signifikant mellan könen.

Managerial Style and the Use of Statistical Data in Techincal Services Units in Selected Academic LibrariesKarpuk, Deborah J. 12 1900 (has links)
The primary purpose of this study was to test the following hypothesis: The internal use (use within the technical services unit for decision making and planning) of statistical data will be significantly higher for managers scoring in the Sensing-Thinking (ST) scale of the self-assessment instrument Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. A Technical Services Statistics Survey Form was developed in order to collect statistical data from the technical services managers participating in the study. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was utilized to record managers' personal management style. Thirty-two managers participated in the two-part study. The hypothesis of the study was not supported because no significant differences in the predicted direction were found to exist between the use of the technical services statistics and management style groups as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. (A Mann-Whitney U Test was used due to the small, uneven sample size.) There were significant differences between Sensing-Thinking (ST) and Intuitive-Feeling (NF) types, but not in the direction predicted by the hypothesis. Possible explanations for this unexpected finding include the very small sample size, the larger percentage of male respondents in the NF type, and the larger percentage of respondents from smaller institutions in the NF type. (Gender and institutional size were not analyzed in this study.) A sharp contrast existed in the number and guality of comments provided by Sensing-Thinking (ST) and Intuitive-Thinking (NT) types, both of whom tended to write lengthy detailed comments elaborating on each statistic. Sensing-Feeling (SF) and Intuitive-Feeling (NF) types provided little or no comment on the Technical Services Statistics Form. The results of this research have implications for examining the technical services statistics collected in technical services units: the frequency of analysis; their importance for planning; the use of these statistics; and the level at which the statistic is used for decision making. Other implications pertain to the automation of statistical data and the use or non-use of the automated reports available.

Metoda ukotvujících vinět: sebehodnocení znalosti informačních a komunikačních technologií / Anchoring vignettes method: information and communication technology knowledge self-assessmentHrabák, Jan January 2015 (has links)
SUMMARY: This thesis presents the possibilities and benefits of the use of anchoring vignettes method in educational science, in connection with information and communication technologies (ICT). It is the first ever use of the anchoring vignettes method in this field. In its theoretical part, the thesis introduces the works of other authors in which research was done with the use of self- assessment questions. It also shows the research using the anchoring vignettes method, and research in which this methodology was used in educational science. The practical part presents the results of the author's own survey, which shows the diversity of self-assessment of ICT knowledge and skills of Year 1 and 2 students at secondary schools. The thesis proves distinctive subjectivity in students' self-assessment, different usage of the scale by respondents and the purposefullness of using the anchoring vignettes method in this field. First and foremost, it shows an entirely different self-assessment of students of different study programmes, genders etc. before and after the correction using the anchoring vignettes method.

Pedagogické hodnocení, vrstevnické hodnocení a sebehodnocení tlumočnického výkonu: jejich rozdíly a podobnosti a vývoj v průběhu studia / Teacher assessment, peer assessment and self-assessment in interpreter training: their similarities and differences, and development during the training processMiketová, Petra January 2019 (has links)
The present theoretical-empirical thesis deals with the comparison of three types of interpreting performance assessment: teacher assessment, evaluation by other students in the group (peer assessment) and self-assessment of the student interpreter. The theoretical part is a review of existing literature on general approaches to the different types of assessment, their importance in the acquisition of interpreting skills, recommended methods of interpreting performance assessment and their use in the training of consecutive interpreting. The empirical part of the thesis is a qualitative longitudinal study, involving students of the third and therefore the final year of the bachelor's degree programme in translation- interpreting (intercultural communication). The aim of the thesis is to identify the similarities and differences between different types of assessment and how the assessment developed over the period of the research. The study also examines how the self-assessment and peer evaluation of students studying interpreting only in the English-Czech combination differ from those of students who study interpreting of English in combination with another foreign language, and thus attend twice the number of practical interpretation seminars. KEY WORDS teacher assessment, peer assessment,...

Les classes inversées en premier cycle universitaire : de la motivation initiale à l'autorégulation de l'apprentissage / Flipped classrooms in higher education : from initial motivation to self-regulated learningThobois Jacob, Laetitia 23 November 2018 (has links)
Les classes inversées et renversée se sont depuis peu fait une place parmi les dispositifs pédagogiques. La classe inversée est un pari qui mise sur le fait que les étudiants joueront le jeu, et qu’ils parviendront à « construire leurs apprentissages » notamment pendant le temps à distance, où ils travaillent « en autonomie ». Or l’autonomie présentée comme un objectif à atteindre, serait plutôt un prérequis. Cependant, elle est aussi un des besoins fondamentaux, au coeur de la motivation humaine. Toute la question est donc de savoir quelle part d’autonomie il faudrait laisser aux apprenants en classes inversées, pour susciter la motivation sans nuire à l’apprentissage. En classe renversée, il s’agit de savoir comment faire pour que les étudiants parviennent à gérer la charge cognitive occasionnée par ce dispositif très engageant. Après avoir exposé les théories et modèles de la motivation et de l’apprentissage autorégulé, nous nous intéresserons à l’apprentissage en tant qu’activité cognitive et métacognitive, en particulier dans le champ de la recherche informationnelle. La thèse montre que l’autoévaluation est susceptible d’enclencher la dimension cognitive, motivationnelle et autorégulatoire de l’apprentissage en classes inversées et renversée. / Flipped and reversed classrooms recently came up among instructional designs. In flipped classrooms, students are expected to be fully engaged, even during remote time when they work on their own in an autonomous fashion. But autonomy rather seems to be a prerequisite although presented as a goal. However, autonomy is also one of the human basic needs according to current motivation’s models. Therefore, the question is to determine what proportion of autonomy should beleft to students in flipped classrooms to stimulate motivation without negative effect on learning. In the reversed classroom, which is cognitively a very engaging design, the main concern is to determine how it is possible to help students managing both motivation and the cognitive load. We first present theories and models of motivation and self-regulated learning, then we address the learning process as a cognitive and metacognitive activity. Our research takes place in the field of information seeking. There, we will show that self-assessment is likely to trigger the cognitive, motivational and self-regulatory dimensions of learning, in flipped and reversed classrooms.

Previous issue date: 2015-03-04 / Nenhuma / Uma gestão consistente que proporcione qualidade e sustentabilidade nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) é o que vem provocando debates no segmento educacional. A preocupação com resultados relativos ao SINAES (Sistema Nacional Avaliação da Educação Superior) desenvolvidos pelo Ministério da Educação é um dos pontos importantes deste processo. Uma das obrigações contidas no SINAES é o estabelecimento da CPA (Comissão Própria de Avaliação), a qual tem a finalidade de conduzir as avaliações internas em uma IES. As autoavaliações têm papel fundamental no desenvolvimento e melhorias nas instituições e desta forma, merecem destaque se usadas de forma efetiva como insumos para o planejamento da organização. Desta forma, o presente estudo tem a finalidade de identificar como ocorre a articulação entre os resultados das autoavaliações e os processos de planejamento em IES. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas com gestores e coordenadores responsáveis pela CPA e de Planejamento Estratégico ou PDI – Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional, todos de instituições de Ensino Superior, sendo privadas e públicas no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. As declarações dos entrevistados demostraram que todos estão conscientes da importância em existir articulação entre a autoavaliação e os processos de planejamento estratégico, contudo, não há relatos de uma metodologia, em nenhuma instituição, que determine um padrão de aplicação destas atividades sincronizadas, ou seja, a articulação é feita conforme a necessidade, por meio da entrega de relatórios para a reitoria e aos coordenadores. / A consistent management to provide quality and sustainability in higher education institutions is what has caused debate in the educational segment. The concern with results for the SINAES (National Higher Education Assessment System) developed by the Ministry of Education is one of the important points of this process. One of the obligations contained in SINAES is the establishment of the CPA (Committee for assessment), which aims to conduct internal evaluations in an IES. The self-assessments, under the responsibility of the CPA, play a fundamental role in the development and improvements in institutions and thus deserve attention if used effectively as inputs to the planning of the organization. Thus, this study aims to identify how is the relationship between the results of self-assessments and planning processes in IES. Several interviews were conducted with managers and coordinators responsible for CPA and Strategic Planning or PDI - Institutional Development Plan, all higher education institutions, and private and public in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The statements of the respondents showed that everyone is aware of the importance of coordination exists between self-assessment and strategic planning processes, however, there are no reports of a methodology, in any institution, to determine a pattern of synchronized application of these activities, the joint is made as needed, through the delivery of reports to the rectory and coordinators.
