Work Done

Capstone projects present a particular challenge to assessment as compared to individual course work. Projects unfold over a year, culminating in a final report, begging the question of (balancing the) assessment of process over product. Projects across an individual department, let alone across the engineering faculty, can differ in content, the balance of depth versus breadth, the balance of research versus application, the balance of design versus implementation, and size of teams. One approach to managing this diversity is the use of broadly interpreted categories and no explicit weighted marking scheme, with the final grade determined by consensus in a department-wide meeting, held privately from the students. While flexibility and the authority of the supervising faculty member is acknowledged and maintained in this approach, the needs of the students are not necessarily best served in this approach. The movement toward learning outcomes, including the CEAB Graduate Attribute Criteria, is providing a well-understood and documented language for established indicators. This paper presents the results of an effort this year to incorporate CEAB graduate attributes into a system of marking rubrics. The goal is to better serve the needs of students with an assessment strategy that is based on explicit expectations and transparency, one which includes all deliverables, and yet still accommodates for diversity in project experiences. The paper will present the compound assessment instrument developed and used on select project teams, as well as the feedback of the students involved in the experience. The work done this year is seen as preliminary and the intent is to invite feedback to move towards broaden the adoption of the assessment instruments within our community.

The assessment of tactics is a subject of great interest in physical education and sport pedagogy. However, the lack of knowledge of the topic and the variety of assessment instruments make the assessment of tactics difficult. This study aimed to describe assessment in relation to tactical learning outcomes through an analysis of assessment instruments, based on variables that must be considered when using an instrument: (a) criteria definitions; (b) tactical levels; (c) indexes; (d) units of observation; (e) player/learner roles; and (f) institutional contexts. Hence, the following instruments were found: Game Performance Assessment Instrument, spatial location instruments, game performance evaluation tool, team sport assessment procedure, and system of tactical assessment in Soccer. Building on the review’s purpose, the following issues were found. First, some studies reviewed used non-validated criteria. Second, not all studies considered the three tactical levels (match level, partial forefront level and primary level). Third, the majority of the studies used indexes that masked the results. Fourth, the individual unit of observation was widely used to assess global tactical learning outcomes. Fifth, many instruments were used in contexts for which they were not validated. According to these limitations, general recommendations are proposed. First, researchers should use validated instruments as long as the characteristics of the instruments are aligned with the nature of the study. Second, it is recommended when validating an instrument to consider the following general guidelines: (a) only use validated criteria descriptions; (b) include all three tactical levels; (c) do not use indexes; (d) use the team as the unit of observation; (e) assess both defender and attacker roles; (f) develop the instrument in the same institutional context as the study context; (g) include context variables if applicable.

This study aims to analyze the practicality of an authentic assessment instrument for ecosystem materials in high school which has been developed using the 4D development model (Define, Design, Development, Disseminate) by Thiagarajan. The practicality of the instrument in terms of the user aspect is measured using a teacher response questionnaire filled out by the teacher and also students who are given an assessment instrument to use. Aspects assessed in the instrument are related to aspects of clarity and aspects of understanding/acceptance. Practically, teachers find it easy to use it in assessing student learning outcomes and students who feel enthusiastic about learning that apply authentic assessment instruments. From the results of data analysis carried out, the teacher gave a very positive response to both aspects which were assessed with a student response value of 92.5% greater than 85%. Meanwhile, the student response showed that the students gave a positive response to the implementation of authentic assessment of ecosystem materials with a response value of 84.11%. Thus, it can be concluded that the authentic assessment instrument for ecosystem material that has been developed can practically be used properly and gives a positive response from both teachers and students.

Effective Assessment

A capstone project is a culminating experience that entails creativity, critical thinking, and advanced problem-solving skills. To that end, capstone projects enable students to prove their abilities, demonstrate their attained skills, and carry out a significant project in their field. In Computer Science Bachelor programs, there is a strong mapping between learning outcomes of capstone projects and all student learning outcomes. This paper presents an assessment framework for capstone courses that allows for sound evaluations of the performance of students and project qualities; besides assessing the student outcomes of the program. The developed framework comprises criteria, indicators, extensive analytic rubrics, and a summative statistical formulation. The presented course and framework are supported by the results, analysis, and evaluation of a pilot study for a single institution to explore the effectiveness of the proposed tool.

Capstone Projects

The capstone course serves to integrate accumulated knowledge with a culminating experience or project and is a common component in undergraduate and graduate programs. The research on capstones courses shows that many capstone experiences or projects involve students working with outside clients, such as local businesses and organizations, to solve problems or develop new projects or campaigns. Such capstone experiences or projects seek to offer students real-world, career-building experience, while the clients seek to benefit from the learned academic knowledge of the students. Where the literature is scarce on client-based capstone projects is when the client is the student’s employer or career-related organization. A graduate program in administration at a public Midwestern university in the USA offers a different approach to the student–client model by requiring a degree-culminating capstone project that challenges adult students to apply their learned knowledge to solve administrative problems not for an outside client but at their place of employment or career-related organization. The researchers surveyed 66 alumni and interviewed 6 on how the capstone project had benefited their work-related learning and its impact on their employer or career-related organization. Students perceived an improvement in their ability to define and analyze administrative problems in their workplace, while the employers or organizations which implemented the project recommendations experienced positive organizational change. This case study contributes to the literature on capstone courses by examining the relevance of a work- or career-related capstone project to students and their workplace.

The work of the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) has been called into question as a result of the manuscript “The Influence of Risk Assessment Instrument Scores on the Evaluators’ Risk Opinions and Sexual Offender Containment Recommendations” published in Criminal Justice and Behavior (2017). This response covers the following areas: significant nomenclature problems used to describe the Adult Standards and Guidelines, the dated nature of the SOMB citations in the manuscript, the flaws in the interpretation of the use of the 17 SOMB risk factors and the SOMB policy related to risk assessment, a potential confounding variable that may explain the results obtained, and finally the work of the SOMB to foster the use of validated risk assessment instruments and evidence-based policies and practices. The SOMB takes pride in providing up-to-date, research-supported practices for its providers and would never intentionally do otherwise, as suggested by the article.
