Spel Zicht op Studentontwikkeling

In het kortlopende NRO-project Zicht op Studentontwikkeling (ZopS) werkten onderzoekers Liesbeth Baartman (HU-lector Toetsing en Beoordeling in Beroepsonderwijs) en Judith Gulikers (WUR) samen met 4 mbo-teams (van Albeda, MBO Utrecht, ROC Midden Nederland en ROC van Amsterdam) aan het vraagstuk van het krijgen van zicht op studentontwikkeling. Deze mbo-teams ontwikkelden zogenaamde ‘learning progressions’ om de langetermijnontwikkeling en de hobbels daarin zichtbaar te krijgen (bijv. op een werkproces). Daarna ontwikkelden zijn ‘FE-activiteiten’ (FE=Formatief Evalueren), aan de hand van de FE-cyclus, om de ontwikkeling van hun studenten in de klas in kaart te brengen. Één van de resultaten van het project is een spel waarmee mbo-teams een leerpad met bijbehorende formatieve activiteiten kunnen maken.

Multilevel boundary crossing

Symposiumbijdrage conferentie EARLI SIG 14, 11-14 september 2018, Genève Learning across the contexts of school and the workplace is highly relevant to the VET-sector. This contribution analyses these cross-contextual learning processes with three key issues in mind: (1) guidance by vocational educators, (2) assessment of students’ development and (3) design of VET-learning environments. Guidance, assessment and overarching VET-curriculum designs form the basis for constructive alignment as an approach to optimize conditions for high quality cross-contextual learning processes. We used the theoretical framework of boundary crossing to clarify the complex, multilevel nature of these key issues.

Collaborative learning

Collaborative learning is not a new teaching and learning approach; it has been around since the 1970s and is an evidence-based practice that has been proven to be effective time after time. Therefore, instead of reinventing the wheel or only relying on best practices or anecdotal evidence of what works and what doesn’t, especially when designing Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) environments, educators might find it useful to make use of existing collaborative learning instructional design elements. These elements have been scientifically proven to be effective and can be applied in both the physical and online international classroom.

Explicit teaching and scaffolding to enhance concept learning by design challenges

This paper presents a mixed methods study in which 21 first-year student teachers took part that investigated learning outcomes of a modified learning by design task. The study is part of a series of studies that aims to improve student learning, teaching skills and teacher training. Design-based science challenges are reasonably successful project-based approaches for breaking down the boundaries between traditional school subjects. Previous learning outcomes of the extensively studied Learning by Design (LBD) approach demonstrated a strong positive effect on students’ skills. However, compared to traditional classroom settings, LBD provided little or no profit on (scientific) concept learning. For this, according to two preliminary studies, a lack of explicit teaching and scaffolding strategies, both strongly teacher-dependent, bears a share of responsibility. The results of this third study indicate that more emphasis on these strategies indeed strengthens concept learning without reducing positive effects on skill performance.

Constructivist learning theories and complex learning environments

Learning theories broadly characterised as constructivist, agree on the importance to learning of the environment, but differ on what exactly it is that constitutes this importance. Accordingly, they also differ on the educational consequences to be drawn from the theoretical perspective. Cognitive constructivism focuses on the active role of the learner, and on real-life learning. Social-learning theories, comprising the socio-historical, socio-cultural theories as well as the situated-learning and community-of-practice approaches, emphasise learning as being a process within and a product of the social context. Critical-learning theory stresses that this social context is a man-made construction, which should be approached critically and transformed in order to create a better world. We propose to view these different approaches as contributions to our understanding of the learning-environment relationship, and their educational impact as questions to be addressed to educational contexts.

A Capability Model for Learning Analytics Adoption

Despite the promises of learning analytics and the existence of several learning analytics implementation frameworks, the large-scale adoption of learning analytics within higher educational institutions remains low. Extant frameworks either focus on a specific element of learning analytics implementation, for example, policy or privacy, or lack operationalization of the organizational capabilities necessary for successful deployment. Therefore, this literature review addresses the research question “What capabilities for the successful adoption of learning analytics can be identified in existing literature on big data analytics, business analytics, and learning analytics?” Our research is grounded in resource-based view theory and we extend the scope beyond the field of learning analytics and include capability frameworks for the more mature research fields of big data analytics and business analytics. This paper’s contribution is twofold: 1) it provides a literature review on known capabilities for big data analytics, business analytics, and learning analytics and 2) it introduces a capability model to support the implementation and uptake of learning analytics. During our study, we identified and analyzed 15 key studies. By synthesizing the results, we found 34 organizational capabilities important to the adoption of analytical activities within an institution and provide 461 ways to operationalize these capabilities. Five categories of capabilities can be distinguished – Data, Management, People, Technology, and Privacy & Ethics. Capabilities presently absent from existing learning analytics frameworks concern sourcing and integration, market, knowledge, training, automation, and connectivity. Based on the results of the review, we present the Learning Analytics Capability Model: a model that provides senior management and policymakers with concrete operationalizations to build the necessary capabilities for successful learning analytics adoption.

Supporting Learning Analytics Adoption

Although learning analytics benefit learning, its uptake by higher educational institutions remains low. Adopting learning analytics is a complex undertaking, and higher educational institutions lack insight into how to build organizational capabilities to successfully adopt learning analytics at scale. This paper describes the ex-post evaluation of a capability model for learning analytics via a mixed-method approach. The model intends to help practitioners such as program managers, policymakers, and senior management by providing them a comprehensive overview of necessary capabilities and their operationalization. Qualitative data were collected during pluralistic walk-throughs with 26 participants at five educational institutions and a group discussion with seven learning analytics experts. Quantitative data about the model’s perceived usefulness and ease-of-use was collected via a survey (n = 23). The study’s outcomes show that the model helps practitioners to plan learning analytics adoption at their higher educational institutions. The study also shows the applicability of pluralistic walk-throughs as a method for ex-post evaluation of Design Science Research artefacts.

A First Step Towards Learning Analytics

From the article: "The educational domain is momentarily witnessing the emergence of learning analytics – a form of data analytics within educational institutes. Implementation of learning analytics tools, however, is not a trivial process. This research-in-progress focuses on the experimental implementation of a learning analytics tool in the virtual learning environment and educational processes of a case organization – a major Dutch university of applied sciences. The experiment is performed in two phases: the first phase led to insights in the dynamics associated with implementing such tool in a practical setting. The second – yet to be conducted – phase will provide insights in the use of pedagogical interventions based on learning analytics. In the first phase, several technical issues emerged, as well as the need to include more data (sources) in order to get a more complete picture of actual learning behavior. Moreover, self-selection bias is identified as a potential threat to future learning analytics endeavors when data collection and analysis requires learners to opt in."

Zicht op studentontwikkeling: een doorgaande leerlijn met doelgerichte formatieve activiteiten

Mbo-scholen worstelen met de strikte scheiding tussen onderwijs en examinering. Docenten krijgen daardoor moeilijk zicht op de ontwikkeling van hun studenten richting de examinering. Zij zetten formatieve evaluatie-activiteiten (FE-activiteiten) in, maar niet om doelgericht zicht te krijgen op die ontwikkeling. Uit Gulikers & Baartman (2017) blijkt dat 'learning progressions' (leerpaden) kunnen helpen om FE-activiteiten meer doelgericht en onderling samenhangend te maken. Het doel van dit onderzoek was daarom: (1) een learning progression maken, (2) bijpassende FE-activiteiten maken met de learning progression als kapstok. Vier mbo-teams hebben aan de hand van verschillende ontwerpactiviteiten een learning progression gemaakt, FE-activiteiten ontworpen en deze uitgevoerd. In het onderzoek zijn deze ontwerp- en experimenteeractiviteiten geëvalueerd, wat betreft hun bijdrage aan het inzicht van mbo-docenten in het leerpad van hun studenten en het kunnen ontwerpen en inzetten van meer doelgerichte FE-activiteiten. Het innemen van het studentperspectief bleek cruciaal. De mbo-docenten rapporteerden inzichten en geleerde lessen over vakoverstijgend kijken in langere leerlijnen, inzicht in een kernaspect van hun beroep en hoe studenten zich ontwikkelen, en FE-activiteiten die meer doelgericht 'vangen' waar studenten staan hun ontwikkeling op dat kernaspect.
