Successful Outcomes

Measuring systems change raises the fundamental questions of systems work: namely, who, what, and when are we measuring, and why? Measurement should be embedded in systems work as a practice, not just to prove successful outcomes but as part of the overall learning process of organizations and broader collectives. This kind of measurement puts primary actors in charge of their own data, revealing a deeper understanding of what is valued by those who are immersed in the context of a social issue. To measure systems work more effectively, organizations and their supporting actors can support self-evaluation, surface invisible value, shorten feedback loops, and measure for meaning. When measuring for learning, organizations are able to ask different questions, recognizing that the primary aim is to determine “what is happening” rather than “what worked.” Organizations and primary actors are also able to access “deep data” that captures the richness of individual experiences while visualizing the bigger picture as it emerges.

Conferencing System

We describe an integrated computer-based conferencing and mailing system as a tool to encourage students to more actively participate in class discussions. The system is called ICMS (Integrated Conferencing and Mail System). It provides a bulletin board that serves as a communication medium for the students and the instructor. An analysis of why students do not actively engage in class discussions is given. We then proceed to explain how the ICMS system can successfully alleviate this problem. Furthermore, we discuss how the ICMS system can serve as a tool to improve a student's critical thinking and as a guide to self-evaluation. Other unintended but positive consequences of the ICMS system are described. We conclude that the ICMS system can play an effective role in students' learning process.

Abstract Objective: To reflect on activities aimed at the development of graduation students, in a teaching internship program, in the perspective of master’s degree and doctoral graduate education and training. Method: It is a reflexive study, based on the discursive formulation about required competencies and guidelines proposed by the National Graduation Plan (named PNPG, Plano Nacional de Pós-Graduação) for professor training articulated to the graduate. Results: The teaching internship program is a way for the formation of university professors, through the preparation of the graduate student. In addition, it shows the relevance of the professor supervisor role in the construction of the learning of these individuals. Conclusion and implications for practice: The first contact with teaching practice, through the teaching internship program, is relevant for constructing a critical look at the teaching-learning process. In this type of Program, it is possible to learn to be and make teaching in a participatory manner, to value interactive relations, to boost autonomy, to stimulate self-evaluation and self-reflection of the graduate student, allowing them to participate actively in the learning process.

Visualization of physical phenomena through modeling and virtual experiment help students to understand the physics concepts. The concept of momentum is quite challenging to explain without the help of virtual experiments.This study aimed to analyze students' independent learning after conducting the learning process on the concept of momentum using Tracker software as a virtual experimental model. This study was quasi-experimentalwith the purposive sampling technique to determine the control class and the experimentalclass. There were 42 students involved in this research. The control class was treated by actual experiments on learning, while the experimental class used the Tracker software as a virtual experiment model. The instrument used was questionnaires given at the end of learningto measurestudents’ learning independence. The data were analyzed by using the descriptive statistics method. Learning independence in the control class obtained 51.31% in the medium category, and the experimental class obtained 60.95% in the medium category. Although the average achievement was not significantly different, the aspects of responsibility, motivation, and self-evaluation of the experimental classwere better than that of the control class.

Assessment Strategies

In order to develop the skills and competences required in a professional environment, university students have to reflect on their own role in the learning process. The traditional methods of assessment do not assess reflective thinking, critical thinking, self-evaluation and peer evaluation. Peer assessment may be a way to solve this problem. In this paper, it is researched how peer assessment could be applied to higher education and the effect of using this form of assessment on the quality of learning. The methodology to investigate the effect of peer assessment as a part of the learning process includes literature observation, case study, developing protocols and marking criteria rules for peer assessment, examples of peer assessment strategies and activities. The results of the research demonstrate that peer assessment methods of either written or oral performance can trigger a deeper involvement of students both in the learning and in the assessment process, keep motivation up and develop some qualities essential for future professional life. Therefor peer assessment could be effectively integrated in the course of ESP at the Moscow Higher School of Economics.

Abstract This paper discusses aspects related to the undergraduate teaching of Heat Transfer in an environment using both Internet and classroom. The use of such an environment can be focused on the learning process of each student, using the classroom as formal check point for group work, sharing experiences and questioning, while the Internet is used for private follow-up, study and self evaluation. The paper describes the experience of one term using such an environment and several using Internet only as a tool for the learning process. The advantages already observed are reported, as well as the major difficulties still noticed. Internet is used continually throughout the course. Available material consists of quizzes, solved exercises, tutorials, spreadsheets, applets and others that the student may use through the Net or through a CD-Rom. Interaction between students and teacher is done mostly using an e-groups conference. Teamwork is strongly recommended, but challenging questions or exercises are expected to be solved exclusively on an individual basis. This paper supports the idea that the skill and attitude towards learning are most important to an effective life long learning.

This chapter proposes that learning improvements in organizations are not just a matter of techniques or aptitudes but are concerned with feelings, attitudes, and, above all, the moral habits of their members. This work suggests complementing currently established conceptions of knowledge management and organizational learning through the explicit inclusion of ethics and ethical learning in organizations. The study describes the explicit need to consider ethics and ethical learning competence among agents in a learning organization context. It then points out the differences between ethically healthy organizations and ethically unhealthy organizations. Finally, the authors argue that the ethical healthiness of an organization is an essential, structural, and necessary condition to achieve a comprehensive learning process in learning organizations on both a technical and human level.
