Assessment Strategies

Institutional culture is a critical component in making eportfolios an integral teaching and learning tool. As instructors and students engage in using eportfolios, the campus goes through culture change in several different areas. Institutions may start with questions related to technology and logistics, but buy-in at all levels is critical as campuses begin to shift, redefine or adapt existing cultures of assessment. Namely, these efforts promote the adoption of more diverse and comprehensive assessment strategies—that embody new, learner-centered teaching methodologies—along with traditional strategies. By using more than one method to demonstrate their competencies within the context of the eportfolio process, students can become more reflective learners, make connections between curricular and co-curricular work, and prepare to enter the workforce. This chapter will help readers determine why they might pursue the use of eportfolios within their educational institution, at the course, program, or institutional levels.

Teaching And Learning Centers

This study focused on leaders of teaching and learning centers, typically faculty, who have developed a strong teaching and research portfolio, and are respected by their peers. The researcher conducted a mixed-methods study to understand how academic leaders of teaching and learning centers (the middle managers), could utilize Stewart's (1976) leadership theory of demands, constraints, and choices. Understanding the effect institutional culture and administrative policies can have on their leadership of a faculty TLC, will better inform them as to the challenges they face in performing and leading. Data acquisition was accomplished through a survey sent to the members of the Professional and Organizational Development (POD) Network comprising leaders of TLCs, supervisors of the leaders, and faculty/staff members of the TLCs. The survey was created and administered using the Qualtrics Survey platform. The findings from this research has strong implications for these leaders as it is important for them to be mentored, trained, and guided to be competent within their TLC and educational institution. A weakness found in the findings was the absence of documentation in training for leaders of TLCs, how to address administrative policies and politics, and understanding the effect of institutional culture on their leadership.

Assessment Of Student Learning

In this short paper the author tries to explain how a learner-centered student course portfolio has helped him to document the educational outcomes. The author has taught and is currently teaching the subject matter of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Fluid Mechanics at an undergraduate level. Here the author tries to correlate the assessment of student learning to the assessment of instructor teaching methodologies. It is well known that industry is in need of employees that are committed to long-term development and continuous improvement. The key element here is to recognize the fundamental concept that teaching and learning are connected and therefore it is essential that the interaction between the instructor and learner is properly documented in the portfolio. (Cerbin, 1994). While addressing these issues, the author raises five questions: 1. What should be counted as appropriate goals in an undergraduate engineering course that has a significant laboratory component? 2. Are the teaching practices utilized by the instructor in this course providing reasonably acceptable paths toward accomplishing the specified learning goals? 3. What do students actually accomplish in the course and the laboratory exercises and how does the instructor’s teaching methodologies contribute to students’ intellectual development and progress? 4. How does the instructor respond to students’ learning difficulties? Does the teacher revise the teaching strategies to address such problems? 5. What impact does this type of teaching have on students’ life-long learning attitudes? Are they able to “learn, how to learn.” A course portfolio is deemed as a specified document that represents the specific accomplishments of the student and is structured to explain what, how and why the students learnt in that particular course. The portfolio shall include everything that was accomplished in that particular course. It should contain a teaching statement that provides a flow-chart. (Knapper, 1995). Further, an assessment analysis of student learning should be supported by class work, problem sets, quizzes, examinations, research reports, term papers, examinations, laboratory reports, etc. An analysis of student feedback is essential to document teaching effectiveness. Finally, a comprehensive course summary. The summary should describe the strengths and weaknesses of the course in terms of students’ learning. (Richlin, 1995).

Title: Seeking Appropriate Approach for Urban Design Learning under the New Normal Condition   Basically, it is urgently needed to build appropriate learning methods in the current pandemic condition, where the teaching and learning process at various levels of education demands a major change from what originally took place face-to-face in educational institution classrooms to turning into screen-to-screen in the personal spaces of individual respective environments. This should not be as simple as simply transferring class material onto a computer screen, but more than that, how the pedagogical aspects of each discipline must be fulfilled, how learning competencies can be fulfilled equivalent to learning under normal conditions. Design learning basically cannot be separated from learning the process of designing in a studio, where pedagogically integrates a learner-centered approach, methods of interaction between learners, and the studio as a physical and social space that forms an atmosphere that triggers creativity. Likewise in urban design learning is based on not only a theoretical component but also an empirical component. This study aims to develop content and learning methods for urban design, that cannot be separated from its pedagogical aspects, as a form of adaptation of urban design learning norms during the pandemic period and their potential as an alternative learning method in the future.

This article is devoted to the analysis of the concepts of «methodology» in general, and «methodology in education» in particular. The analysis of the main classical methods in the field of teaching a foreign language such as «natural» and «grammatical-translation», indicate the urgent need for training and application of the student audience to achieve conscious foreign language knowledge in a non-linguistic higher educational institution of general economic profile.
