This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans l'enseignement supérieur en général, l'évaluation des apprentissages des étudiants a subi de profondes mutations ces dernières années, ceci pour deux raisons principales : le passage à une approche par compétences et l'augmentation conséquente du nombre d'étudiants. Parallèlement, il est fréquemment relevé que nombre d'enseignants se retrouvent en difficultés à l'égard de l'évaluation des apprentissages, soit parce qu'ils ont modifié leurs pratiques sans en mesurer tous les impacts, soit parce qu'ils tentent de faire "comme avant" tout en comprenant que ce n'est plus possible, ni même souhaitable. Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un projet d'innovation pédagogique déployé à la Haute École spécialisée de Suisse occidentale (HES-SO). Cette institution est constituée de 28 écoles de niveau supérieur professionnalisant couvrant des domaines aussi variés que l'ingénierie et l'architecture, l'économie et la gestion, le design et les arts visuels, la musique et les arts de la scène, la santé et le travail social. Co-écrit par une vingtaine d'experts de l'enseignement supérieur professionnalisant, ce livre est conçu comme un guide de référence permettant aux enseignants le développement et la valorisation de leurs pratiques d'évaluation des apprentissages des étudiants. La variété des expériences pédagogiques actuelles et innovantes présentées ici invite ainsi à la rencontre intellectuelle et à l'enrichissement de sa propre pratique d'enseignement. De plus, des fiches techniques illustrent les démarches évaluatives et favorisent la mutualisation des ressources entre pairs enseignants.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Student Engagement written by Sandra L. Christenson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include: Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for competency development. The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.
Download or read book Learning Patterns in Higher Education written by David Gijbels and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning Patterns in Higher Education brings together a cutting edge international team of contributors to critically review our current understanding of how students and adults learn, how differences and changes in the way students learn can be measured in a valid and reliable way, and how the quality of student learning may be enhanced. There is substantial evidence that students in higher education have a characteristic way of learning, sometimes called their learning orientation (Biggs 1988), learning style (Evans et al. 2010) or learning pattern (Vermunt and Vermetten 2004). However, recent research in the field of student learning has resulted in multi-faceted and sometimes contradictory results which may reflect conceptual differences and differences in measurement of student learning in each of the studies. This book deals with the need for further clarification of how students learn in higher education in the 21st century and to what extent the measurements often used in learning pattern studies are still up to date or can be advanced with present methodological and statistical insights to capture the most important differences and changes in student learning. The contributions in the book are organized in two parts: a first conceptual and psychological part in which the dimensions of student learning in the 21st century are discussed and a second empirical part in which questions related to how students’ learning can be measured and how it develops are considered. Areas covered include: Cultural influences on learning patterns Predicting learning outcomes Student centred learning environments and self-directed learning Mathematics learning This indispensable book covers multiple conceptual perspectives on how learning patterns can be described and effects and developments can be measured, and will not only be helpful for ‘learning researchers’ as such but also for educational researchers from the broad domain of educational psychology, motivation psychology and instructional sciences, who are interested in student motivation, self-regulated learning, effectiveness of innovative learning environments, as well as assessment and evaluation of student characteristics and learning process variables.
Download or read book Multipliers of Change written by Wolf, Tobias and published by Universitätsverlag Potsdam. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Higher Education Leadership and Management have become increasingly important throughout the years due to the complexities that have to be addressed by universities worldwide. This can be seen not only in professionalisation in fields such as faculty management or in areas of quality assurance and internationalisation, but also in the need for exchange and training in academic leadership, such as that of deans or study deans, or of university leadership in general. The Dialogue on Innovative Higher Education Strategies (DIES) is addressing this need in emerging countries by building platforms of exchange and offering training courses. Not only is the programme supporting capacity building of human resources, but it is also specifically focusing on inducing change within the universities, such as introducing new instruments or tools in the area of quality assurance and internationalisation, and addressing specific challenges or setting up new structures in the form of projects in the frame of the training. The ‘National Multiplication Trainings’ Programme under DIES is further addressing the sustainability and multiplication of the DIES Programme, that is, alumni are enabled to implement capacity building in higher education leadership and management in their national context. The articles within this volume of the “Potsdamer Beiträge zur Hochschulforschung” (Potsdam Contributions to Higher Education Research) analyse and share the experiences of such training programmes held in Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Malaysia, Kenya, and Uganda. They all revolve around the best ways to address the needs and challenges in higher education leadership and management, and in building capacities in these areas.

Gender-based violence, including violence against women, remains a key human rights challenge in contemporary Europe and in the world. Working with young people on human rights education is one way of preventing gender-based violence from occurring. By raising awareness on why and how it manifests and exploring its impact on people and in society, gender-based violence will no longer go undetected. Gender really does matter, to women, to men, to young people - to all of us. This manual serves to explore these human rights issues and act upon them."--Book jacket.

Download or read book The Myth of the Muslim Tide written by Doug Saunders and published by Knopf Canada. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even among people who would never subscribe to its more dramatic claims, the "Eurabia" movement has popularized a set of seemingly common-sense assumptions about Muslim immigrants to the West: that they are disloyal, that they have a political agenda driven by their faith, that their nhigh reproduction rates will soon make them a majority. These beliefs are poisoning politics and community relations in Europe and North America--and have led to mass murder in Norway. Rarely challenged, these claims have even slipped into the margins of mainstream politics. Doug Saunders believes it's time to debunk the myth that immigrants from Muslim countries are wildly different and pose a threat to the West. Drawing on voluminous demographic, statistical, scholarly and historical documentation, Saunders examines the real lives and circumstances of Muslim immigrants in the West: their politics, their beliefs, their observances and their degrees of assimilation. In the process he shatters the core claims that have built a murderous ideology and draws haunting historical parallels showing how the same myths stuck to earlier groups, such as Jews and Roman Catholics. His work will become a vital handbook in the culture wars that threaten to dominate North American and European elections and media discussions in 2012 and afterwards, and will provoke considerable debate over the actual nature of our polyglot societies.
Download or read book Comment passer des comp tences l valuation des acques des tudiants written by Elfriede Heinen and published by De Boeck Superieur. This book was released on 2015-02-07 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage unique se présente comme un guide méthodologique très actuel et novateur. Elaboré par une équipe de coordinateurs pédagogiques ancrés dans la réalité de l’enseignement supérieur, il présente de manière concrète les étapes à parcourir pour élaborer des acquis d’apprentissage en phase avec les compétences que les diplômés novices doivent avoir développées à l’entrée dans le milieu professionnel. L’ouvrage rappelle, avec nombre d’exemples à l’appui, comment évaluer des acquis d’apprentissage de haut niveau. Les auteurs présentent à cet effet les étapes d’élaboration d’une charte de l’évaluation, outil puissant de concertation dans une équipe pédagogique. L’évaluation de compétences implique des mises en situation. L’ouvrage propose donc un chapitre entier sur les familles de situations et un autre sur les situations d’intégration de manière à guider le lecteur dans l’élaboration de ces situations qui doivent répondre à des critères bien précis. Le lecteur y trouvera une classification des familles de situations, une grille d’auto-évaluation des situations d’intégration et des exemples qui clarifient les liens et distinctions entre familles de situations et situations d’intégration. Un chapitre consacré à l’évaluation de la cohérence d’un programme à partir d’un extrait du référentiel de l’agence de la qualité de l’enseignement supérieur établit le lien entre l’approche programme basée sur les acquis d’apprentissage et la démarche de la qualité. Ce chapitre se termine par « les incontournables de l’approche par compétences », guide synthétique et très clair. Il identifie les rôles des uns et des autres et les points d’attention pour une amélioration constante de l’enseignement/apprentissage et de ses résultats. Il permet, en interne, de guider l’analyse des curriculums ou la mise en place de l’approche programme et de l’approche par compétences.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.
