Digital Portfolios

Abstract

Educators are faced with developing performance indicators for reporting to state and national agencies on pre-service teacher candidates' ability to teach using innovative pedagogy as well as content-specific standards. Portfolio assessment has gained momentum as a standard in assessing student-learning outcomes. This paper is a discussion of digital portfolio development as a stimulus to the intellectual involvement of the learner (a Type II application). Digital portfolio development is an activity that naturally involves intellectual involvement as the learner identifies the problem (developing the digital portfolio) and then problem solves as he or she creates the digital portfolio. Each student is in control of portfolio development and manipulates the Web-based software to create the professional portfolio.     

Supporting Self-Regulated Learning With Digital Media Using Motivational Regulation and Metacognitive Prompts

Studying with digital media, learners often struggle because of inadequate self-regulation. Previous research presented clear evidence of metacognitive prompts being effective in supporting learning with digital media. This study examines the potential of motivational regulation prompts, which are assumed to additionally support self-regulated learning. During a 50-minute learning session in a digital media learning environment, 215 university students received either no prompts, only metacognitive prompts, only motivational regulation prompts, or both types of prompts. Task value, metacognitive control, task-related learning activities, and knowledge were assessed at a pretest, posttest, and follow-up. The results replicated known positive effects of metacognitive prompts and revealed additional supportive effects of motivational regulation prompts on all dependent variables. Path modeling of the experimentally induced changes was in line with a theoretical model specifying proximal and distal effects of both prompts. Altogether, this indicates that especially motivational regulation prompts could be an effective scaffold to support SRL with digital media.     

基于学习档案的元认知策略培训研究

本研究对105名英语专业一年级学生进行了为期一年的元认知策略培训实验,以考察其对提高专业英语学生自主学习能力的效果。结果表明,与对照组相比,培训显著提高了实验组学生的元认知策略运用水平,并全面促进了学生英语听、说和综合技能的发展;同时,较之常规的讲座式培训方式,基于学习档案的元认知策略培训似乎更能保证学生的投入,避免培训流于形式,从而更有效地提高元认知策略运用水平,促进了英语学习各项技能的均衡发展。     

Empowering Student Voice through Interactive Design and Digital Making

Over the last two decades online technology and digital media have provided space for students to participate and express their voices. This paper further explores how new digital technologies, such as humanoid robots and wearable electronics, can be used to offer additional spaces where students' voices are heard. In these spaces, young students are invited to shape the design of digital tools and artifacts through the inclusion of their unique perspectives. The authors argue that involving youth in the design and use of tools contributes not only to the creation of meaningful learning experiences but also to the future potential of youth as producers of digital learning technologies.

元认知理论与学生自主学习能力的培养——元认知理论在大学英语教学中的应用

让学生自主学习是当前外语教学的重要目标之一,元认知理论以其独特的内容和特点对学生自主学习能力的培养提供了指导意义.本文简要介绍了元认知和自主学习的定义、内容和特点,以及元认知与自主学习的关系,着重探讨如何运用元认知理论培养和发展学生的自主学习能力.     

元认知知识与英语写作

基于元认知理论,元认知和写作有密切的关系。由于元认知知识在元认知理论中的重要性以及便于测量的特点,英语写作元认知的实证研究主要集中在元认知知识上。在英语写作中,认知主体(即写作者)需要对自己和他人的知识进行加工,了解自我写作能力,清楚写作动机,认识写作中的问题,收集从事写作任务所需信息资料,以及对完成这一写作任务所需的努力,然后为达到写作目标采用有效的认知策略,包括组织安排文章内容、修改文章内容和形式等。这三种成分之间相互联系又相互独立,对培养学生元认知能力,提高学生英语写作水平有重要作用。

Metacognitive Development: A View beyond Cognition

A series of studies were conducted to investigate students' metacognitive development in a second year chemical engineering course. The first of these was an exploratory study involving observation together with some limited interviewing. This was followed by a major study with two phases, the first of which involved a series of individual interviews with eleven students over the duration of the course, and the second of which involved a follow-up interview with each student two years later. In the first phase of the major study a theoretical framework characterising metacognitive development as a shift in approach to learning was utilised. The present paper draws on the findings of the second phase of the major study to both confirm the validity of this framework and also point to some of its shortcomings, specifically regarding the necessity of a certain emotional state in order for metacognitive development to take place, and the importance of the formation of a professional identity. It is suggested that metacognitive development needs to be characterised in broader terms than the usual cognitive focus in order to more fully account for students' experiences of learning.
