Learning Analytics Reflection Learning analytics is described as ‘‘the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimising learning and the environments in which it occurs‘‘ (Long & Siemens, 2011, p. 33). The process of measuring, collecting, analyzing, and reporting started way back in the 1900s. Shavelson (2007) illustrated that standardized testing started in 1916, when the University of Missouri decided to…
learning and growth in their classroom. The SLOs are discussed in a face to face meeting between the teacher and administrator at the start of the school year. The use of student achievement data is an important aspect of the SLOs development and evaluation. When a gap in student achievement is discovered in data, the teacher and/or administrator may uses it as the baseline for a time bound and measurable SLOs. The teacher then collects data relative to the SLOs at intervals throughout the…
I think the assessments were somewhat accurate. For the values inventory, it helped me understand my values. Off the top of my head it 's not likely that I think about specific things like what I believe in. in truth it actually takes time to stop and pause and think, I strongly value family. The values assessment helped to get a better understanding of myself which is weird. Being the only person with me 24/7 should be an indicator that I must know myself but actually don 't. It 's easy to…
The use of assessment and why we do it. The information we get from assessment is extremely valuable. It 's not just a score but also quantitative data on how much of the material tested has been mastered by the student (Ronan, 2015). Information from these assessments are used to help educators guide and determine the path of instructional approaches they see as best for their students given what they already know about a topic and what blank spots need to be filled in. This helps teachers to…
artifact some individual reads concerning the differences and relationships among educational assessments and evaluations, may be entirely dissimilar. Summarizing these two distinct yet similar processes has been an exposé for me. When approaching this project, I did find numerous articles and books that have been written and appeared very parallel regarding learning assessments and evaluation. After widespread exploration, I did find several books and articles that echo variances and…
Everybody has planned something in their life, for example, a holiday for good fun or a job task forms a start time to finish. From all these examples, the “plan “is used to achieve an aim and prevent potential problems before they take place. Hence this same process will apply to the IQA schematics to ensure the product and customers are on the correct path. As I mentioned in assessment 1.1 the main aspect of the quality control system is to monitor and checking the quality of a product or…
Summary Main Points of Articles: The article Teacher Evaluation and the Problem of Professional Development examines professional development and its relationship to teacher evaluations. Smylie (2014) focuses his inquiry on two significant issues: the “weak link problem” and the “weak quality problem”. He identifies the weak link problem as the link between teacher evaluations and the lack of professional development opportunities provided to educators by schools and districts. The weak…
expected to accomplish. Only then can companies make appropriate design decisions to ensure that performance management does what it is intended to do. If performance is defined in terms of objective, clearly measurable goals, then performance evaluation is largely just a matter of systematic goal measurement. For example, some jobs are evaluated entirely based on the amount of revenue generated through sales. The only thing…
this program poor and vulnerable older persons will receive monthly financial benefit of GHc 96.00 (34.00 CAD). The current government program lacks a holistic approach to tackling issues of ageing and deprivation in Ghana; thus a comprehensive evaluation of Help-Age Ghana “Adopt a Granny Scheme” may be necessary to demonstrate the need for a holistic approach in tackling poverty and welfare among the elderly in…
Level 1 Reaction Tool Reasoning Level 1 assessments allow surveyors to achieve a general evaluation of core components in the course room. These include content, objectives, multimedia use, and instructor interaction. By placing the evaluation into a structured assessment, it can provide a quick, effective means to discover errors or issues within the course. Yet participants may feel hesitant to offer opinions regarding a topic. Kirkpatrick (2012) expands on this with the idea that…
