Improved Student Learning

Assessment effectiveness is an important topic for all educators. This study considers how assessment can be made more effective by addressing plagiarism by students in international undergraduate programs in Vietnam. The study included a change in assessment away from written reports and towards student presentations. 107 Vietnamese students, across two semesters, studying a BTEC HND business management subject in an international program at a large government-run university were assigned to give weekly group presentations rather than write 3,000 word reports. The first semester results indicate that this change practically eliminated plagiarism and improved student learning (measured by grades) by 33%. The second semester added local language tutorial sessions and improved student learning by 70% from the pre-study levels. Additionally, students reported greater satisfaction with the new assessment design.

Effective Assessment

The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the potential of rubrics as tools for effective assessment and introduce the concepts of rubric assessment, construction, testing, and implementation, with critical stakeholder involvement and leadership support. Rubrics should be designed to align to outcomes and assess the level of achievement for each major component of an assignment. They can be constructed in a variety of ways with various kinds of points allocations. From design to implementation, a range of stakeholders including subject, curriculum, and assessment experts should be involved to ensure the rubric descriptions use measurable verbs and objective language. Rubrics design is an iterative process with an aim to continuously improve their effectiveness. Done well, rubrics can serve as support to student learning, consistent and transparent evaluation of students work, and course, program, and institutional learning quality assessment.

Practical Implications

PurposeThis paper explores the challenge of “fuzzy” assessment criteria and feedback with a view to aiding student learning. The paper untangles three guiding principles as mechanisms to enhance the effectiveness of assessment and feedback through overcoming the inherent challenges which stem from tacit judgement during assessment.Design/methodology/approachThe paper applies a realistic evaluation methodology, with a framework for assessment and feedback consisting of three principles – Means, Opportunity and Motivation (MOM). Through in-depth interviews with undergraduate and postgraduate management students the paper identifies how and when the means, opportunity and motivation principles impact student learning through assessment and the utility of the feedback received on their learning.FindingsThe findings in the paper illustrate that students do not always understand the feedback they receive on their learning because they do not fully understand the criteria to which it refers due to the tacit dimensions of assessment. The findings substantiate the proposition that effective assessment processes must ensure that students have the means, opportunity and motivation to use feedback and to understand the criteria, a central component of which is understanding tacit dimensions of assessment.Practical implicationsThe paper deciphers three practical implications for instructors related to (1) teaching, (2) course and program design and (3) the nature of the feedback instructors should provide.Originality/valueWhile prior scholarship has flagged the challenge of “fuzzy” assessment and feedback, this paper identifies when and how the means, opportunity and motivation principles are manifested in the process of making the tacit components of assessment codified and actionable, a critical process in developing expert learners.

ABSTRACTThe choice of the problem of classroom action research is based on the fact that students' ability to read news texts is still very low. Whereas with the mastery of Indonesian language lessons in general students do not have difficulty learning other subjects. This research was conducted in July to November 2015, because in those months the students had completed the first semester of the general exam and were still at the beginning of the second semester so that the students' conditions could be observed from the beginning.Cooperative Method STAD is a learning method wherein the learning process teaches the teacher to invite students to work together in groups to complete assignments in the classroom and allow students to find information on information that can be traditionally told or disguised.From this writing it can be concluded that with the motivation in learning STAD cooperative learning methods the students' ability to read news scripts increases and learning outcomes will be optimal. The more precise the motivation given, the more successful the lesson will be. With high motivation, the intensity of student learning efforts will also be high. So motivation will always determine the intensity of student learning. This will improve student understanding.Keywords: Reading News Scripts, Cooperative STAD

<p><em>With the</em><em> </em><em>growing shift from lecture-style teaching methods to interactive and experiential group exercises, instructors need to know more about their students, such as</em><em> </em><em>their desired impressions, to adequately engage and support students’ social</em><em> </em><em>interactions. This study addresses this need by</em><em> </em><em>providing an overall understanding of the types of images that are important for students to project when interacting with others in a classroom. After a concise review of impression management literature and grounding our reasoning in cybernetic theory </em><em>(Bozeman &amp; Kacmar, 1997) </em><em>this study offers an insight of the positive impressions students desire to project in front of their peers and professors and the negative impressions students aim to avoid. With</em><em> </em><em>a two-part</em><em> </em><em>survey based on 269 responses, we measured students’ ranking of specific images</em><em> </em><em>and the effort level they exerted towards achieving or avoiding them. We offer suggestions of how these findings can be integrated into teaching for improved student learning and experiences. </em><em></em></p>
