Abstract: This dissertation investigated the design, process and effects of reflective assessment of students' knowledge building, using the Knowledge Connections Analyzer (KCA) for Knowledge Forum(R) (van Aalst et al., 2012). The dissertation is a dissertation by articles, comprised of four studies. Study 1 is a systematic review of the literature on formative assessment interventions in technology-enhanced environments in K-14 education; 39 studies that satisfied the search criteria were analyzed. The findings indicate that assessment interventions with three orientations-continuous formative assessment, embedded formative assessment, and reflective assessment-have been be used to scaffold students' learning, and that the most effective assessment designs provide students with agency, and help students to actively learn both disciplinary ideas and reasoning, and metacognitive skills. This review positions the current dissertation within a broader theoretical framework and informs the choices that were made when investigating classroom designs. Study 2 examined nine recent Knowledge Forum databases to understand the state of students' online discourse, and to identify the challenges in knowledge building that may be addressed by reflective assessment using the KCA. This study found that students contributed many notes and they were seemingly interactive; however, the practices of collaboration, of synthesis and rise-above notes, and of analyzing conceptual progress of ideas were not well-developed in many databases. Study 3 is a case study that investigated whether and how students with low achievement can benefit from reflective assessment using the KCA in knowledge building. Participants were a class of 20 Grade 11 students taking a visual art course from an experienced teacher. Analysis of students' online discourse indicated that students were able to take responsibility for advancing collective knowledge. Analysis of qualitative data indicated that reflective assessment may have helped students focus on goals of knowledge building. However, due to the lack of collaborative reflection on the KCA data and the framing of data-driven discourse improvement as collective responsibility, some students continued to experience difficulties such as focusing on their own performance rather than that of the whole community. Study 4 is a more ethnographic case study and aimed to address the problems identified in Study 3 by implementing a design in which use of the KCA was integrated with other aspects of a pedagogical design for knowledge building. The design had several components, including (a) establishing a collaborative culture and norms; (b) periodic tasks promoting development of cognitive and metacognitive skills; (c) regular and opportunistic use of knowledge-building talks promoting collaborative reflection and thoughtful use of the KCA; and (d) framing the datadriven discourse improvement from a community perspective. 37 students with low achievement from a 9th-grade Visual Arts course participated in the study. Analysis of students' online discourse showed that students in this class were able to advance the community's discourse. Analysis of classroom events indicated that the pedagogical design may have influenced the improvement of ideas on Knowledge Forum. The dissertation's findings have important implications for the design of technologyrich enviro

Handbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry by Nona Lyons Pdf
Philosophers have warned of the perils of a life spent without reflection, but what constitutes reflective inquiry - and why it’s necessary in our lives - can be an elusive concept. Synthesizing ideas from minds as diverse as John Dewey and Paulo Freire, theHandbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry presents reflective thought in its most vital aspects, not as a fanciful or nostalgic exercise, but as a powerful means of seeing familiar events anew, encouraging critical thinking and crucial insight, teaching and learning. In its opening pages, two seasoned educators, Maxine Greene and Lee Shulman, discuss reflective inquiry as a form of active attention (Thoreau’s "wide-awakeness"), an act of consciousness, and a process by which people can understand themselves, their work (particularly in the form of life projects), and others. Building on this foundation, the Handbook analyzes through the work of 40 internationally oriented authors: - Definitional issues concerning reflection, what it is and is not; - Worldwide social and moral conditions contributing to the growing interest in reflective inquiry in professional education; - Reflection as promoted across professional educational domains, including K-12 education, teacher education, occupational therapy, and the law; - Methods of facilitating and scaffolding reflective engagement; - Current pedagogical and research practices in reflection; - Approaches to assessing reflective inquiry. Educators across the professions as well as adult educators, counselors and psychologists, and curriculum developers concerned with adult learning will find the Handbook of Reflection and Reflective Inquiry an invaluable teaching tool for challenging times.

"For some time, traditional (A - F) grading practices have been under fire from a wide range of stakeholder. Grading policies are wildly inconsistent from classroom to classroom, frequently misguided, uninformed, and frequently based on subjective judgments. Of even more concern, our grading practices exacerbate the achievement gap. It is well-documented that African-American and Latino students, boys, as well as special education students, are disproportionately suspended and expelled, influenced by teachers' unconscious but biased judgments of student behavior. Virtually ignored is how teachers' incorporate subjective and non-academic criteria into their grades (through criteria such as student attitude, "participation", and "effort"), and how approach to grading contributes to these same students' disproportionately high course failure rates and disproportionately low placement in advanced academic tracks"--

Testing Teacher Candidates by National Research Council,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Board on Testing and Assessment,Center for Education,Committee on Assessment and Teacher Quality Pdf
Americans have adopted a reform agenda for their schools that calls for excellence in teaching and learning. School officials across the nation are hard at work targeting instruction at high levels for all students. Gaps remain, however, between the nation's educational aspirations and student achievement. To address these gaps, policy makers have recently focused on the qualifications of teachers and the preparation of teacher candidates. This book examines the appropriateness and technical quality of teacher licensure tests currently in use, evaluates the merits of using licensure test results to hold states and institutions of higher education accountable for the quality of teacher preparation and licensure, and suggests alternatives for developing and assessing beginning teacher competence. Teaching is a complex activity. Definitions of quality teaching have changed and will continue to change over time as society's values change. This book provides policy makers, teacher testers, and teacher educators with advice on how to use current tests to assess teacher candidates and evaluate teacher preparation, ensuring that America's youth are being taught by the most qualified candidates.
Teaching Reflective Learning in Higher Education by Mary Elizabeth Ryan Pdf
This book is about understanding the nature and application of reflection in higher education. It provides a theoretical model to guide the implementation of reflective learning and reflective practice across multiple disciplines and international contexts in higher education. The book presents research into the ways in which reflection is both considered and implemented in different ways across different professional disciplines, while maintaining a common purpose to transform and improve learning and/or practice. The Readers will find this book is innovative and new in three key ways. Firstly, in its holistic theorisation of reflection within the pedagogic field of higher education; Secondly, in conceptualising reflection in different modes to achieve specific purposes in different disciplines; and finally, in providing conceptual guidance for embedding reflective learning and reflective practice in a systematic way across whole programmes, faculties or institutions in higher education. The book considers important contextual factors that influence the teaching of forms and methods of reflection. It provides a functional analysis of multiple modes of reflection, including written, oral, visual, auditory, and embodied forms. Empirical chapters analyse the application of these modes across disciplines and at different stages of a programme. The theoretical model accounts for students’ stage of development in the disciplinary field, along with progressive and cyclical levels of higher order thinking, and learning and professional practice that are expected within different disciplines and professional fields. Secondly, in conceptualising reflection in different modes to achieve specific purposes in different disciplines. It provides a functional analysis of multiple modes of reflection, including written, oral, visual, auditory, and embodied forms. Empirical chapters analyse the application of these modes across disciplines and at different stages of a programme in terms of demonstrating levels of reflection. The book includes images, diagrams and different text forms to support the creative applications of reflection. And thirdly, the book is innovative in providing conceptual guidance for embedding reflective learning and reflective practice systematically across whole programmes, faculties or institutions in higher education contexts across the world.
