Business Study

The aim of the article is to unveil how the application of the collaborative learning strategy in higher education (HE) setting combines self-assessment of group activities with peer-to-group and teacher evaluation. The results reveal that the groups’ self-evaluation is considerably more positively than evaluation by the teacher or peers. The antecedents of these results are likely embedded in 1) the cultural context with dominant individual values; 2) impact of business study as discipline, and: 3) challenges in implementing a collaborative learning strategy in the HE sector.

Intrinsic Motivation Inventory

We look at group work from a self-determination theory perspective and argue that internalized motivation is the best condition for productive collaboration. A perceived sense of autonomy plays an important role herein. This autonomy is determined by the characteristics of the task and the openness and acceptance of the group. Group dysfunction, or the fear of it, impedes autonomy, even if the task context is fully autonomy supportive. Means of uncovering the functioning of group members could reduce dysfunction or lower the fear of it. Using a full scale intrinsic motivation inventory, we measured the impact of group self-evaluation on the quality of motivation over a 4-year period with a total of 355 participants in a collaborative learning project in high schools (K11). We show that, compared to the control population, students exhibit a much more internalized motivation profile, with effect sizes in the range of medium to large for the different parameters. We conclude that group self-evaluation primes students for autonomous motivation. We suggest that the procedure should be applied systematically in substantial collaborative projects. <br>

Evaluation Of Learning

Involving students in the assessment process can pose a challenge both to the learners and their instructors as it goes against the grain of the testing, assessment and evaluation (TEA) processes with which they are familiar. While the European Language Portfolio (ELP) encourages reflection on what has been learnt and self-evaluation of learning progress and achievements, using criteria checklists, it stops short of awarding real grades to peers and selves. Indeed, information about peer-assessment and self-assessment of the productive skills is scant, particularly with regard to EFL higher education (HE). Such moves towards assessment bring both the instructor and the learners to unfamiliar terrain, which must be carefully engineered and negotiated, like tiptoeing through a field of tulips, which requires Trust, Understanding and Learning through, and Investment in, Peer-assessment and Self-assessment processes. In this way, learners become less reliant on others to evaluate their progress, more self-directed and, ultimately, assume a greater degree of autonomy. Evidence from the Assessment for Autonomy Research Project (AARP), involving students in peer- and self-assessment of writing and speaking skills, using pre-determined assessment criteria checklists, seems to suggest that recalibration of assessment power can help promote autonomy amongst EFL students at HE level.

"The challenges facing postsecondary institutions in the twenty-first century include determining the future role of universities in the creation of new knowledge, mastering technology and using it appropriately, and establishing effective planning and monitoring processes (p. 221)." With this quote, Donald emphasizes the growing need for institutions of higher education to engage in self-evaluation and self assessment in order to determing their "raison d' etre" in relationship to learning.

Desde hace tres años el Centro de Capacitación en Educación a Distancia (CECED) empezó a implementar acciones dentro de los cursos que ofrece, con el fin de potenciar la autorregulación y la autoevaluación como estrategias que promuevan y evidencien la centralidad del estudiantado, tal como se menciona en el Modelo Pedagógico de la Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED).En ese sentido, esta ponencia pretende exponer la sistematización de la experiencia vivida en dos cursos ofertados en el I cuatrimestre de 2014 (Pedagogía Universitaria y Organización y Diseño de Cursos en Línea), en los cuales se han realizado ajustes metodológicos para promover procesos de aprendizaje a través de la autorregulación y la autoevaluación por parte de las personas participantes, de manera que estas personas, a su vez, puedan implementarlas en sus propios cursos o asignaturas. Dichos ajustes metodológicos se pueden evidenciar en diferentes componentes del curso y no solo en el instrumento de autoevaluación.Palabras clave: autorregulación, autoevaluación, estrategia de aprendizaje, cursos virtuales, modalidad a distancia AbstractThree years ago, the Distance Education Training Center (CECED) began to implement actions to improve self-regulation and self-assessment strategies on its courses and following the student centered orientation indicated in UNED´s Teaching Model.In that sense, this paper aims to describe the systematization of the experience of implementing self-regulation and self-assessment strategies on two courses offered in the first quarter of 2014. The courses Pedagogy for Distance Education and Organization and Design of Online Courses have been modified in terms of methodology, to promote learning processes by using self-regulation and self-assessment procedures. Also, course participants are encouraged to implement these strategies in the courses they teach. These strategies and the methodological adjustments will be evident in different course components of the training sessions not only in the self-assessment instrument.Keywords: self-regulation, self-assessment, learning strategy, online courses, distance mode.

The One

Self-evaluation is an opinion which is shaped and transformed along with human age. The younger a child is, the more superficial and situational character the self-assessment has. Its level depends on the acquired experience – the cases of success and failure. Moreover, notional thinking develops gradually with the age, changing self-evaluation into an in-depth opinion. In the text, the research results are presented of self-evaluation of borderland children and youth in the aspect of their self-assessed life achievements in regard to their potentialities (individually specified measure of quality) and the evaluation of school results (socially specified measure of quality). This constitutes a record of the current state and the one nearly 25 years ago, which also takes into account the respondents’ age and residence place. What is comprised here as well are the different dimensions of the young’s self-evaluation and its significance for their spiritual development, which is the essence of education.

Learning Analytics (LA) and tools for intelligent analysis of data accumulat-ed in the information systems used in higher education institutions (HEIs) al-low quality experts to increase the effectiveness of processes for monitoring, quality assurance and evaluation of training. The paper presents LA model and a correspondent software tool designed for the needs of quality experts in Bulgarian higher education institutions. The tool allows them to monitor and improve the learning process. However, the experiments presented here show that the tool can also significantly assist in the preparation of self-assessment reports for internal and external quality assessment in HE. Re-search and experiments with the model and the LA tool under consideration are conducted on the basis of the information infrastructure of a typical Bul-garian university – University of Plovdiv “Paisii Hilendarski”.
