Personal Assessment

The purpose of the chapter is to assist teachers to provide meaningful assessments that enable them to explain the results to learners, parents, and fellow educators and determine what learning activities are needed. Assessment is a complex term because it implies so many diverse ideas: tests, examinations, rubrics, grades, performance reports, and evaluations. Clearly, there is a need for teachers to clarify and determine which assessment approach fits the different learning goals that comprise the curriculum. The chapter opens with a challenge for readers to consider a variety of assessment metaphors based on current research and the views of different assessment specialists. The chapter then examines the different assessment approaches based on their contexts of the approach and also clarifies what each approach can and cannot provide. Selected response, constructed response, observations, interviews, authentic performances, projects, and portfolios are described in light of their contexts. The chapter ends with a reflection to determine a personal assessment metaphor.

Situational Test

Advances in computer technology have created opportunities for the development of a multimedia situational test in which responses are filmed with a webcam. This paper examined the relationship of a so-called webcam test with personality, cognitive ability, job experience, and academic performance. Data were collected among 153 psychology students. In line with our expectations, scores on the webcam test, intended to measure interpersonally oriented leadership, were related to extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and job experience. Furthermore, the webcam tests significantly predicted students’ learning activities during group meetings over and above a cognitive ability test and a personality questionnaire. Overall, this study demonstrates that webcam tests can be a valid complement to traditional predictors in selection contexts.

The rise of mobile broadband devices and services has significantly changed the role of mobile devices in people's daily lives by enabling the provision of innovative applications and services anywhere, anytime. Despite the fact that new ideas and innovation mainly occur within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), the adoption of mobile and ubiquitous technologies by HEIs is still in its early stages. This chapter attempts to provide a framework to support Higher Education Institutions towards implementing mobile and ubiquitous, game-based learning activities. Aligned with the objective of this book, this chapter presents some examples and best practices of implementing this framework towards achieving the learning goals of future professionals in the fields of electronic and ubiquitous commerce.

Children's Learning

As mentioned at the beginning of this book, the key principle for learning as a school community is to build instruction on children’s interests in a collaborative way—learning activities are planned by children as well as adults, and adults learn from their own involvement as they foster children’s learning. Children are natural learners as long as they can be deeply involved in activities which they help to devise and for which they see a purpose—”minds-on” activities. At the OC, children participate in setting their learning goals and deciding how to use their time and resources, with the aid of the adults. Discussion, conversation, and enjoyment are a valued part of the learning process. The children learn not only the academic subjects but also how to make responsible choices for their own learning and how to solve problems ranging from mathematics and writing to interpersonal frictions at recess. The children learn to lead others (including adults) in school activities and to build on their own interests at the same time that they contribute to the learning of others in the classroom. Much of the day is planned flexibly, to build the curriculum around student contributions, staying open to the serendipitous “learning moments” that naturally emerge as interested people discuss ideas and issues and organize projects for children’s learning. Small groups of children work at an activity with a parent volunteer (a “co-oper”), the classroom teacher, or a child who has organized an activity for the others. Most children stay with the same teacher for two years in blended grade-level classes, creating a supportive classroom environment in which people of differing skills and interests contribute to each others’ learning and learn from teaching others. The children plan their day, choosing among some required activities and some optional ones. The whole class also meets several times each day for planning and for whole-group instruction connected with the learning activities. The principles of learning as a community are not easy even for seasoned teachers and co-oping parents to summarize, since they are generally enacted in everyday situations rather than spoken.

Device Interaction

In location-based and contextual mobile learning, students are continually mobile in the virtual, social, and physical environment. A common problem in this view of mobile learning is that students spend time focusing on the mobile devices at the expense of interacting with other students or exploring the physical environment. The authors approach this problem from an interaction design perspective, where they design and analyse geometry-learning activities in two iterations. Based on video data from groups of students participating in the learning activities, the authors analyse when mobile devices are in the foreground and background of their interaction. The authors present six guidelines for designing location-based and contextual mobile learning activities, where mobile devices support rather than distract students from contents and contexts relevant to the learning goals. Finally, the guidelines are evaluated using a model of interaction, which represents mobile device interaction as one of four different modes of human interaction with technology.

Changing Times

Learning is a conscious effort to achieve a learning goal. In the latest educational paradigm, the purpose of learning is no longer just to change the behavior of students, but rather to form a professional character and psychological attitudes in all aspects. To achieve this goal requires a motivation. Motivation to learn contained in a person has a very important role in achieving a goal, because motivation can make someone have a strong urge to do something. In this case, the teacher has a significant role in fostering student motivation to achieve learning goals and the needs of the changing times as well as demands for a change in the learning paradigm. Therefore, this article aims to understand the meaning of the learning paradigm and the importance of fostering student motivation in learning activities.

Motivasi belajar berarti keseluruhan daya penggerak didalam diri para siswa/warga belajar/Peserta didik yang dapat menimbulkan, menjamin, dan memberikan arah pada kegiatan belajar, guna mencapai tujuan belajar yang di harapkan. Dengan motivasi belajar, maka siswa/ warga belajar/ peserta didik dapat mempunyai intensitas dan kesinambungan dalam proses pembelajaran/ pendidikan yang di ikuti. Memotivasi pelajar merupakan salah satu langkah awal yang harus dilakukan oleh seorang guru dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Jika guru telah berjaya membangun motivasi pelajar semasa pengajaran dan pembelajaran bermakna guru itu telah berjaya mengajar. Namun pekerjaan ini tidaklah mudah. Memotivasi pelajar tidak hanya menggerakkan pelajar agar aktif dalam pelajaran, tetapi juga mengarahkan dan menjadikan pelajar terdorong untuk belajar secara terus menerus, walaupun dia berada di luar kelas ataupun setelah meninggalkan sekolah.Learning motivation means the overall driving force within the students/students/students that can lead to, guarantee, and provide direction to learning activities, in order to achieve the expected learning goals. With learning motivation, students/students/students can have intensity and continuity in the learning/education process that is followed. Motivating students is one of the first steps that must be taken by a teacher in teaching and learning. If the teacher has succeeded in building student motivation during teaching and learning, it means that the teacher has succeeded in teaching. But this job is not easy. Motivating students not only moves students to be active in learning, but also directs and makes students motivated to learn continuously, even though they are outside the classroom or after leaving school.
