Solutions for Overconfidence: Evaluation of an Instructional Module for Counselor Trainees

Overconfidence in clinical judgment is a common problem among counselors that undermines the validity of the counselors' assessments and, by implication, the quality of client services. The authors evaluated an instructional module designed to reduce overconfidence among counselor trainees who completed an assessment task that exposed them to some of the complexities and pitfalls of clinical judgment. Although all counselor trainees were generally overconfident at both pretest and posttest, the module led to reductions in overconfidence only for the trainees who were exposed to it. It is suggested that counseling programs need to teach trainees to reflect critically on their inferential processes to improve the quality of their assessments.

Conceptual Frameworks for Analysis of Classroom Social Interaction Introductory Comment

Several proposed statistics for testing the significance of the difference in two correlated r’s were first reviewed. A simple alternate procedure based on the familiar Fisher z was then suggested. This procedure, unlike its predecessors, is applicable to a wide range of problems involving tests between dependent correlations. It also has documented mathematical support when its power curves are examined. Since the procedure is asymptotic, a large sample size is required. The only other assumption is that the observations associated with the sample are drawn from a joint multivariate normal distribution.

Development of a Model for Evaluating Social Work Curriculum

Abstract

This paper describes an internal evaluation performed on the BSW curriculum of the School of Social Work of Tel Aviv University, Israel. It focuses on the inductive, participatory method by which the evaluation was designed, and on the measure that was developed. The aim of the paper is to encourage internal evaluation of social work curricula and to provide a model for doing so that others can adopt.

The Development of an Instrument for the Evaluation of Some Aspects of the Taught Component of an Advanced Courses Module for Teachers in International Schools

A scheme of professional development for teachers, leading to the award of Advanced Certificate, Advanced Diploma or degree of Master of Education, has been in operation at the University of Bath School of Education for some years. Recently this modular scheme has been extended to become more accessible to teachers in international and overseas schools around the world, with modules taught in a range of locations internationally including a Summer School held annually in July at the University of Bath. The Methods of Educational Enquiry (MEE) module provides an introduction to aspects of educational research and is recommended to participants as an early module for study: between 1992 and 1993 this module has thus been taught on more occasions than any other, in a number of different locations and by a number of different tutors. This paper considers issues arising from the implementation of an instrument for the evaluation of some aspects of the taught component of the MEE module in a wide range of contexts, and describes the development of two related measures of participants' satisfaction with respect to this component. A further paper will consider a wider range of issues across a number of different modules in a range of locations.

论社会进步及其评价尺度

培根、笛卡尔从人类认识和控制世界能力的提高入手为社会进步作了初步论证,崇尚理性、相信教育和启蒙的作用,并以此作为历史不断进步的保证则是法国启蒙学派的历史进步观.但韦伯、兰克和布克哈特等人不仅对历史的进步表示怀疑,甚至根本不同意把进步观念引入历史研究中.马克思是从历史发展的前进性与曲折性的统一中来理解社会进步的.就历史发展总的趋势来看,历史尺度和价值尺度是一致的;就历史发展的特定阶段、特定时期来说,两种尺度又存在着某种不一致.两种尺度的社会进步最终可以在实践中,而且只有通过实践达到协调和统一.

The Use of Facebook in an Introductory MIS Course: Social Constructivist Learning Environment*

The major objective of this article is to evaluate via a Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) the implementation of a Social Constructivist learning framework for an introductory Management Information System (MIS) course. Facebook was used as a learning artifact to build and foster a learning environment, and a series of features and activities using this artifact were conducted to utilize the social interactions amongst the system's users to foster constructivist learning. Various pedagogic strategies were used to integrate activities occurring both inside and outside of the classroom setting to achieve social learning. All features utilized were evaluated based upon activities and interactions amongst all users. The research findings show great potential for the implemented features, as well as the activities conducted to take advantage of these features, and suggest possible innovative features for use in similar future studies based on feedback from this study's sample group.     

An NCME Instructional Module on Exploring the Logic of Tatsuoka's Rule-Space Model for Test Development and Analysis

K. Tatsuoka's rule-space model is a statistical method for classifying examinees' test item responses into a set of attribute-mastery patterns associated with different cognitive skills. A fundamental assumption in the model resides in the idea that test items may be described by specific cognitive skills called attributes which can include distinct procedures, skills, or processes possessed by an examinee. The rule-space model functions by collecting and ordering information about the attributes required to solve test items and then statistically classifying examinees' test item responses into a set of attribute-mastery patterns, each one associated with a unique cognitive blueprint. The logic of Tatsuoka's rule-space model, as it applies to test development and analysis, is examined an this module. Controversies and unresolved issues are also presented and discussed.

An Evaluation of a Compensatory Introductory Sociology Section

A comparison, via path analysis, of educationally disadvantaged students (EOP) as participants and non-participants in an experimental section of a large introductory sociology course did not reveal significant differences in test performance. Given the great predictive strength of verbal SAT (r = .65) and the large differential in SAT scores between EOP and non-EOP students, it is argued that EOP performance, relative to that of the non-EOP majority, will not be significantly enhanced by this type of program. By contrast, it is shown that a substantial improvement is to be expected in the performance of future EOP students if the admissions policies were changed so as to admit students with higher verbal SAT scores. Some preliminary evidence indicates that with a smaller gap in verbal ability, it may be possible for compensatory programs to make a further contribution to the improved performance of disadvantaged students.     

The Evaluation of an INSET Model for Gwent Primary Schools

The paper describes a cyclical model for the identification of training and staff development needs within a local education authority. The features of the model include local representation of school staff, prioritisation of needs and the evaluation of training effectiveness in schools. Evaluation of the model suggests that it is more effective than previous strategies at determining school based needs and responding to those needs. The INSET courses designed using this model appear to result in more frequent school based developments than did previous models of INSET provision.
