虚拟现实技术应用于神经心理评估的研究概述

传统神经心理评估的实验控制和生态效度的平衡问题日益受到研究人员的关注,而新兴的虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)技术为问题的改善带来了希望,它不仅可以模拟现实环境并支持被试的直接交互,而且能对传统测试进行再现和扩展。它所形成的评估系统能对刺激的内容和表象、任务的复杂度和被试的响应进行灵活控制,所获取的信息更丰富、准确。在初步评估注意过程(注意、单侧空间忽略)、记忆(前瞻记忆、情景记忆、空间记忆、地形定向)和执行功能方面已获得了令人满意的效果。然而目前VR评估的应用仍存在技术和设备方面的不足,以及对评估者和被试不同操作要求的局限,因此今后除了要规范化现有VR评估系统,还应该进一步发展基础条件来推动系统的广泛应用。

中国法治评估的困惑与出路

市场化、法治化程度较高的国家和地区是法治评估生成的重要土壤。在一国同一政治框架范围内,法治更多地表现为同质化特征。因此,一国范围内的法治评估尤其是地方法治评估并无太多意义。只有在不同政治框架下的国家或地区之间,法治评估才更能凸显其价值。法治评估更多是晚近时期国际性非政府组织在世界范围内的比较法治评价活动。由于市场化和法治化程度不高等因素,中国的法治评估缺乏内在生成性,更多具有外部"嵌入式"特点和中国特色,面临着评估机构、评估对象、社会转型期法治评估等一系列困惑。在现有发展阶段,中国不宜过多关注法治评估。应当全面深化改革,从而为法治评估创造适宜的生成土壤。

Evaluating sermons: The function of grades in teaching preaching

What are grades doing in a homiletics classroom? This article traces the function of grades through the broader history of the educational system in the United States and then makes suggestions for how grades can be used more effectively in teaching preaching. Beginning in the nineteenth century, teachers used grades to rank and motivate students, as well as communicate across institutions. With the more recent assessment movement, educators have conceptualized grading as the larger process of evaluating the success of learning objectives. The commission on accreditation for the Association of Theological Schools does not view grades as part of its assessment, but it evaluates theological schools on whether they achieve intended learning outcomes. Theological educators need to be able to evaluate whether their teaching fulfills their schools' mission and learning objectives. For homiletics, the author measures learning through pre‐ and post‐preaching feedback and incorporates professor‐ and student‐crafted rubrics.     

Learning disabilities and performance on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment

The No Child Left Behind Act mandates all students in schools receiving Title I funds show proficiency in reading by 2014. This stricture applies to students with diagnosed learning disabilities as well as to students without learning disabilities. Multiple regression analyses on data for seniors attending a Grade 9-12 predominately white, comprehensive vocational-technical school indicated that, when absenteeism, socioeconomic status, and sex were held constant, the 26 students with diagnosed learning disabilities scored 246.7 points lower on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment Reading subtest (n = 107) and 214.4 points lower on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment Mathematics subtest (n = 106) than students not so diagnosed, and the 27 students diagnosed with learning disabilities scored 126.3 points lower on the Writing subtest (n= 114) than students not so diagnosed.     

Scale of organizational learning in schools. Organizational learning is a key element for the development of organizations

Organizational learning is a key element for the development of organizations. School organizations are not exempt from this challenge and they currently face a highly dynamic and demanding context of education policies that emphasize the school's ability to learn. Thus, research on organizational learning in educational contexts requires valid instruments that are sensitive to the specifics of schools as organizations. In this study, we adapted and validated a scale of organizational learning in a sample of 119 Chilean municipal schools (N= 1,545). The results suggest a structural model made up of three factors: culture of learning, strategic clarity, and group learning. These factors predicted dimensions of educational achievement, as measured through the National Assessment System of Educational Achievement (SNED). Results are discussed in view of the literature on school improvement.     

教师背景变量对教师教学效果影响的多层线性分析

用《教师教学效果评价问卷(学生版)》问卷对高校181名教师的教学效果进行调查,用多层次分析法对影响教师教学效果的教师背景变量:教师性别、年龄、学历、职称、所教专业、年级、班级大小以及课程类别对教师教学效果影响程度进行分析,目的在于通过用多层分析法更合理分析教师背景变量对教学效果产生的影响,为客观比较教师教学效果之间的差异提供依据。研究结果表明:(1)多层次分析法得到比传统回归分析和方差分析更合理更准确的结果;(2)教师背景变量教师中性别、学历、专业以及所教班级的大小对于教师教学效果评价效果没有显著影响;(3)教师职称、年龄、所教学生年级、课程类别对教师的教学效果有显著影响;(4)所考察的教师水平背景变量对教学效果各个维度教师水平总变异的解释率介于3351%-4278%之间。     

Assessing Intellectual Development: Three Approaches, One Sequence

In this paper, I compare three developmental assessment systems, employed to score a set of 152 interviews of engineering students: the Perry Scoring System (W. G. Perry, 1970), the Hierarchical Complexity Scoring System (T. L. Dawson, 2004, 1/31/03), and the Lexical Abstraction Assessment System (LAAS; T. L. Dawson & M. Wilson, in press). Overall, the Hierarchical Complexity Scoring System and Perry Scoring System agree with one another within the parameters of interrater agreement commonly reported for either one of the systems, and the Perry system and the LAAS agree with one another about as well as the LAAS and the Hierarchical Complexity Scoring System, upon which the LAAS is based.     

Universal screening with automated essay scoring: Evaluating classification accuracy in grades 3 and 4

The adoption of the Common Core State Standards and its associated assessments has placed increased focus on writing performance. Consequently, weak writers may be at risk of failing Common Core English language arts (ELA) assessments. Thus, the current study sampled a diverse group of third and fourth grade students (n = 100 and 130, respectively) who were administered Fall and Spring writing screeners using the procedures of a Direct Assessment of Writing (DAW). Results were used to predict whether students did or did not attain grade-level standards as evaluated by the summative Smarter Balanced ELA assessment. Writing screeners were scored using the Project Essay Grade (PEG) automated essay scoring system. ROC curve analysis and logistic regression were used to evaluate screening models. Area under the ROC curve (AUC) values for grade 3 were in the acceptable range (Fall = 0.74, Spring = 0.75). AUCs approached or fell within the excellent range for grade 4 (Fall = 0.79, Spring = 0.83). Sensitivity-based and d-based cutpoints were selected and measures of diagnostic accuracy, including sensitivity and specificity, are reported. Results indicate that automatically-scored DAW has promise for universal screening for writing risk.     

A model for assessing student interaction with educational software

We present a simple model of generative learning that permits us to define four kinds of interactions and a system for tracing and recording how students use educational technology. We believe that this model will maintain a link between interaction and learning, thus providing one method for the assessment of a wide range of educational technology environments. Two results are presented from an evaluation of ConStatS, a program for teaching conceptual understanding of probability and statistics. The results illustrate the kinds of insight into generative learning that a detailed trace method can provide.     

身体活动与学业成绩:来自具身认知的启示

具身认知理论认为身体、认知和环境是和谐的统一体。以该理论为基础的具身学习认为,身体不是学习过程的无关因素或障碍因素,身体是学习的主体,身体活动的参与在塑造学习者的思维、判断及记忆等心智活动中具有重要作用。当前已有一定数量的实证研究发现,身体活动能够显著提供语言习得、数学学习等学业成绩,提供学生在同伴中的社会地位。将来,可基于具身认知的角度,采用认知神经科学、心理学和教育学等跨学科合作的方式,进一步探讨具身学习影响学业成绩的因素及其机制。     

Assessment of Reading and Learning Disabilities A Research-Based Intervention-Oriented Approach

Assessment practices for children with learning disabilities (LD) in reading are driven by the three primary components of the federal definition of LD: discrepancy, heterogeneity, and exclusion. This article reviews the implications of these three components for the assessment of children with reading disabilities and other forms of LD. We propose a rationale and procedures for more efficient approaches to the identification of children as learning disabled in reading or at-risk for these disabilities that are aligned with research on reading disabilities and other forms of LD. This approach emphasizes the assessment of academic skills and their components in an effort to develop intervention plans. Intelligence tests are not necessary for the identification of children as learning disabled and do not contribute to intervention planning.     

Transformative Learning: A Case for Using Grounded Theory as an Assessment Analytic

Transformative Learning Theory and pedagogies leverage disruptive experiences as catalysts for learning and teaching. By facilitating processes of critical analysis and reflection that challenge assumptions, transformative learning reframes what counts as knowledge and the sources and processes for gaining and producing it. Students develop a broader range of perspectives on and entry points for learning and behavior change engaging cognition, embodiment, aesthetics, emotions, and ethics (see Mezirow 1991 and Figures 1 and 2). The open‐inquiry, multi‐modal nature of transformative learning defies most traditional assessment strategies. This article demonstrates that grounded theory offers the rigorous qualitative analysis needed to document and track transformative learning outcomes in practice. By applying a grounded theory approach to data from over eighty student portfolios across several iterations of a Religion and Ecology course at Emory University, this article demonstrates a successful and replicable assessment of transformative learning pedagogies.
