Transcript: The Impact of Self-Grading on Middle School English Students’ Writing Skills Angelica Smith - University of Maryland Abstract Superficial teacher feedback on writing assignments combined with little to no student effort to reflect on any feedback keeps students from the opportunity to refine essential metacognitive skills. Previous research indicates that self-grading is an effective strategy for students to practice metacognitive awareness. After 9 weeks of instruction incorporating either self-grading or providing traditional teacher feedback for reflection on writing assignments, gains of 85 seventh graders’ writing scores for organization will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the metacognitive experience of self-grading improves performance. Empirical evidence should help teachers ascertain whether the time-consuming practice of self-grading is valuable to student learning. Statement of Problem Peer- and Self-assessment are not as widely practiced as they could be because teachers' goals are to save as much time as possible and to ensure grade accuracy for all students. Logistical, pedagogical, and metacognitive benefits of peer- and self-assessment were contested and needed to be put to the test. Students don't reflect on teacher feedback on writing assignments and miss out on opportunities to refine metacognitive skills necessary for learning. Significance The proposed study contributes more knowledge about the benefits of self-assessment on student learning The proposed study helps teachers ascertain the value of incorporating self-assessment into their regular practice in improving performance, despite how much time is required for planning and preparation. Research Foundation The Impact of Self- and Peer-Grading on Student Learning Philip M. Sadler and Eddie Good After a Supreme Court decision in favor of peer-grading in classrooms, Sadler and Good decide to put benefits of self- and peer-grading to the test that are of teacher interest (p. 13) Participants included four middle school science classrooms Issues of interest: Student grades as substitute for teacher grades Student grading as a tool for student learning Results: High correlation between teacher and student grades Bias within student grading in self- and peer-assessment Self-assessment students made most gains in test scores Rationale for Proposed Study Test familiarity could have effected results Realistic assessment to determine student learning Research Questions / Hypotheses To what extent does the experience of self-assessment (training and process) impact students' writing organizational skills? Students who participate in self-assessment will improve their writing organizational skills significantly more than comparison students. Methods Participants 113 students in 4 sections of seventh grade English and their teacher No previous instruction on concept being taught during data collection Same age-range as students in original study / Studying different content Measure Scoring Guide for Writing - five or six traits writing rubric; traits include: Ideas & Content, Organization, Word Choice, (Voice,) Sentence Fluency, and Conventions; scores range from 1-lowest to 5-highest. The proposed study will target scores in Organziation. Different from measure in original study in that it is county-/teacher-designed, not student-designed, and assessess aspects of writing instead of science. Procedure All students receive instruction on the Well-Developed Paragraph (WDP) formula: a tool students are required to use to structure WDP's when writing literary analysis. 2 sections in control group (receive traditional teacher feedback on writing assessments); 2 sections in experimental group (trained and participate in self-assessment process) Of the four WDP's written to assess mastery of reading and writing skills, organization scores for first and fourth WDP will be collected. Data Analysis To what extent does the experience of self-assessment impact student's writing organizational skills? Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) are calculated in both groups for the first and fourth WDP. Gains from first to fourth WDP are calculated, and mean gains are found. t-test is conducted to determine the significance of the gains in both groups.

Transcript: Online Counselling: The demographics, motives and experiences of people who use Mobile-Instant-Messenger counselling instead of telephone or face to face counselling No health without mental health (WHO, 2005). Large 'treatment gap' and numerous access barriers. mHealth (mobile phones for health) encouraged by WHO, can take advantage of high phone penetration in developing world, can circumvent certain barriers. Mobile-Instant-Messenger counselling has been offered by (at least) 5 service providers in South Africa already. Key research questions (of semi-structured interview): The experience of communication in the MIM-mediated environment. The differences between MIM-mediated and telephone or face to face counselling (for those with relevant experience). The motivation for selecting MIM-based counselling over telephone or face to face counselling. Data analysis: Thematic Analysis, secondary researcher analysing two randomly-selected interviews. Recursive process until consensual agreement on themes. The online counselling literature focuses mainly on email-mediated counselling and the perspectives of counsellors and prospective clients. Under-examined areas of online counselling research: factors that 'promote and inhibit' motivations. reactions of actual online counselling service users. demographics of service users I.e. The demographics, motives and experience of clients who use MIM-counselling over telephone or face to face counselling. Motivation Method (continued...) Suggested Title Ethical Considerations Aims In South Africa, MXit is very popular: 49 million registrations, approximately 10 million active users. JamiiX facilitates a one-to-many relationship: 1 counsellor, logged in to JamiiX, as an 'exchange' member, via PC. Many clients accessing 'exchange' via their mobile phone or PC. Many counsellors auto-assigned clients by the 'exchange'. Conversations can be passed between 'exchange' members. Mobile-Instant-Messenger (MIM) Request for waiver of handwritten consent Adjusted consent (recorded via synchronous chat). Signed consent would break from the online setting and introduce confidentiality and anonymity issues which are central to the medium and ethos of the service. Possibility of minors as participants (without dual consent). Risk to participants is very low, possibly upsetting questions can be removed without jeopardising the aims of the study. Has been approved in international research (King, Bambling, Reid and Thomas, 2006). Individual interviews, conducted via synchronous chat. Sample population are people accessing the Drug Advice Support service via MXit (and PCs?) as offered by RLabs. Incentivised recruitment by counsellors, who can transfer client to new 'exchange member', post-counselling. n = approx. 100 for Basic Information Section. n = 12-15 for Semi-Structured Interview. A sample of 12-15 that matches the sample population of 100 (as closely as possible) would be ideal. Method The demographics, motives and experiences of Mobile-Instant-Messenger counselling service users.

Why This topic/Conversation? The Conversation/Topic: Modern-day education Education has many implications both on the individual and societal level There are many different types of learners in school Technology-based learning can appeal to a wide variety of learners On the Societal Level: 1. It can lead to a more productive society 2. It can lead to a stronger public commons On the Individual Level: 1. Better problem-solvers 2. Better Students Finding a specific website - limited sources talking about its positive and negative effects Figuring Out the Functionality of the Website Focusing on a specific age-group. Would it even work for elementary school students? Would starting with high school students be too late? Challenges Challenges creativity as an emergent property creativity as an emergent property Research Question: How has Evernote, a website that promotes collaborative-based learning, led to the formation of a more enhanced and evolved creativity known as group creativity? Technology Based Creative- Problem Solving Has Two Phases: 1. The Divergent Phase - Exploring, characterized by messiness - Evaluating Data 2. The Convergent Phase - Honing onto specific things. Extracting important information out of clutter. - Focusing on specific solutions Terms for Interaction and Collaboration: Synchronic Interactions - Interactions that occur simultaneously Diachronic Exchanges - Interactions that occur over a longer period of time "Recent models of group creativity (Sawyer, 2003) argue that collective creative work has to be understood as the synergy between synchronic interactions (i.e., parallel and simultaneous) and diachronic exchanges (i.e., interaction over long time spans and mediated by ostensible products)" (Sarmiento, Stahl 503). Quote Quote Potential Conclusions Potential Conclusions Online collaborative-based learning can lead to a greater extent of creativity People would be better suited to solve modern problems If I'm wrong: Technology will be a distraction. Students will find ways to cheat. Ultimately, a case should be made for using a specific website - being more technology dependent - because it can lead to creativity Sarmiento, Johann W. and Gerry Stahl.

Transcript: What effect does high-stakes testing have on schools and student achievement? High-stakes testing has a negative effect on schools and student achievement. Forty-Day Dash Sad Teachers Sad Students "Teachers say the Most Interesting Things" - Buck, Ritter, Jensen, and Rose (2010) "How [does] the existence of the Arkansas state exams influence teaching and learning in teachers' classrooms?" Small Teacher Focus Groups - Tests provide useful data - Testing and standards help create a road map for the year's instruction - Test-prep does not necessarily sap creativity - Testing can lead to collaboration - Accountability is useful "One important limitation was that teachers in our focus groups were not serving in extra-ordinarily low-achieving schools. While these educators were well aware of AYP and were concerned about their schools being on or near alert status, they did not work in schools that were under constant accountability pressure from day one. Thus, teachers in such low-achieving schools could feel different pressure from the testing system and view the influence of testing quite differently than do the teachers in our sample" (p. 54) "Producing Commodities or Educating Children? Nurturing the Personal Growth of Students in the Face of Standardized Testing" - Barrier-Ferreira (2008) "As pressure mounts for all students to meet a specific standard on these assessments, more emphasis is placed on the preparation needed to meet this goal at the expense of all else" (p. 138). Intellectual Growth v.s. Social Growth "When students are able to see their teachers as people and share in experiences with them that reach beyond skills and standards, they are more receptive to the instruction given in the classroom" (p. 140). "Paradoxes of High-Stakes Testing" Madaus and Russell (2010/2011) "Using test scores to classify students and schools reshapes our conceptions of student attainment and school quality. Attainment no longer focuses primarily on skills and knowledge. School quality ceases to focus first on teaching, resources, and opportunities for learning. Instead, student attainment and school quality become defined by individual and group test scores" (p. 22). Formative vs. Summative "This analysis found that single-parent families, parents reading to a child every day, hours a child spends watching television, and the frequency of school absences collectively explained two-thirds of the differences in reading scores" (p. 23). "The presentation of an item or the directions can cause some examinees to get the item wrong even though they have the necessary knowledge, skill, or ability, while other students without the knowledge, skill, or ability get it right" (p. 23). "Roundup on Testing! Testing! Testing!" - Kuehn (2009) All teachers and principals in "failing" schools would be fired and replaced. Those schools were mostly in impoverished areas. Merit-based pay "Financial incentives may indeed reduce intrinsic motivation and diminish ethical or other reasons for complying with workplace norms such as fairness. As a consequence, the provision of incentives can result in a negative impact on overall performance" (p. 7). Coatesville Area School District Urban 75 Square Miles Chester County 2213 Students 53% Caucasian 34% African American 13% Other Teacher Survey Likert with comments SAT 1999 - 56% Verbal - 470 Math - 464 2010 - 56% Verbal - 459 Math - 460 "During the PSSA, I have been overworked and overburdened. My students are on edge because they know that they are being pushed into a test that they do not feel adds any value to their lives. As a result, I become more of a motivator in the classroom than an instructor....I work overtime with my colleagues becasue we are passionate about our jobs- but at what cost? I truly feel that my students were as prepared for this test as they possibly could have been. However, anything can affect their states of mind while testing; a parent might not have come home the night before, he or she may have been reprimanded before starting the test, he or she may not have eaten, etc. When the teachers are working harder than the students, as we are doing now, something is severely amiss. The stakes are not high for the students; the stakes are high for the teachers."

It has assumed the role of authoritarian parent to the extreme, always waiting to catch "failures" and penalize them accordingly. Testing has a role in education, but that role must be one of strengthening students and schools, rather than tearing them down. The
