Impact Of Feedback And Revision On Student Team Solutions To Model Eliciting Activities

چکیده
Helping first-year engineering students to embrace the iterative and open-ended nature of engineering problem solving is a challenge when their prior learning experiences have focused heavily on achieving a correct answer in a single attempt. In this paper, the authors will present a case study of student work from the Fall 2007 implementation of Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) to demonstrate the impact of the iterative process of feedback and revision on the quality of student products. They will also discuss some of the future research questions resulting from the iterative process used with MEAs.

Mini workshop - A strategy for assessing student work on open-ended problems
Assessing student work on realistic, openended problems is challenging when multiple solutions of varying quality can be expected. A balance needs to be sought between school-like and engineering-practice-like feedback and assessment of student work if an instructor wishes to capitalize on the authenticity of a problem. This workshop will work with the ideas of authentic assessment for open-end...
متن کاملFacilitating Teaching And Research On Open Ended Problem Solving Through The Development Of A Dynamic Computer Tool
Model Eliciting Activities (MEAs) are realistic open-ended problems set in engineering contexts; student teams draw on their diverse experiences both in and out of the classroom to develop a mathematical model explicated in a memo to the client. These activities have been implemented in a required first-year engineering course with enrollments of as many as 1700 students in a given semester. Th...
متن کاملThe Impact of Three Feedback Types on Postgraduate TEFL Student Teachers’ Writing Accuracy and Organization
One skill that student teachers need to develop during their academic studies is the capacity to produce accurate and well-organized texts. This study reports on the comparative impact of metalinguistic feedback (MLF), teacher interactive feedback (TIF(, and the peer-feedback (PF) on the accuracy and organization of postgraduate ELT student teachers’ writing. The participants were 57 postgradua...
متن کاملThe Impact of Teachers’ Self-evaluations through Rubrics versus Supervisors’ Observation on their Performance in Setting Group-work Activities
As a tool for self-evaluation and also self-regulation, rubrics can be very useful in equipping the language teachers with an assessment device. Moreover, teachers need feedback for their professional development, but how feedback is provided is a challenging question. This study was an attempt to find the effectiveness of self-evaluation through rubrics on setting up group work activities by E...
متن کاملWeighted Log-odds-ratio, Informative Dirichlet Prior Method to Enhance Peer Review Feedback for Low- and High-scoring College Students in a Required First-year Writing Program
The purpose of this paper is to use a weighted log-odds-ratio, informative Dirichlet prior method (“bag of words” approach) to analyze student comments and scores posed to MyReviewers, a web-based tool designed for collecting student writing as well as their peers’ comments and scores of their colleagues’ drafts. Our preliminary findings suggest that students who receive lower scores may also b...
