评估与高校文献资源平衡建设

最近几年高校的大规模扩招、资金的不到位等因素使许多高校文献资源量相距评估指标的要求差距很大,再加上评估指标体系的不完善等因素导致许多面临评估的高校图书馆的文献资源建设出现了失衡现象。文章分析了各种失衡现象及其产生的原因,提出了在评估的特殊环境下解决这一问题的对策。     

电大试点中期评估与总结性评估的比较与思考

“中央广播电视大学人才培养模式改革和开放教育试点”项目实施六年来,进入了验收性、鉴定性、总结性的评估阶段,其目的是进一步明确电大发展方向,确立现代远程教育的教学模式、管理模式和完善相应的管理制度,提高人才培养质量。本文通过笔者在参与试点评估的过程中对电大试点开放教育中期评估和总结性评估的比较分析,阐述了电大试点评估的意义,前后关系,试点评估承前启后的思想理念,以此透视试点人才培养模式的发展过程,并指出了总结性评估后试点单位向下延伸面临着新一轮的压力和教学质量的挑战。     

我国公共文化场馆免费开放政策检视与反思

以公共图书馆为例,运用文化权利、政策过程理论对我国公共文化场馆免费开放展开政策检视和反思。研究发现,免费开放政策取得重要成效,但亦存在问题:恒定的经费补贴量难以满足免费开放后文化供给量和服务量的增长;经费分担机制未完全落实;按行政层级设计的补贴标准难以关照到不同规模的公共图书馆需要;监督管理和考核评价机制缺失,政策激励约束不足。这主要是因为动态的政策调整和优化未能及时跟进,中央地方事权与支出责任划分不明确、支出责任与财力不匹配以及政策成本高于收益。因此,建议完善分类资助标准,设计多重综合标准;建立完善经费保障的动态调整机制,创新财政保障方式;建立绩效评价体系,形成激励约束机制。表2。参考文献27。     

Content Analysis of Google Alerts for Cultural Heritage Institutions

This article outlines evidence-based methods for cultural heritage institutions to look for news and mentions about their collections and services online. Google Alerts were created for repository names, websites, and finding aid websites for 66 institutions randomly selected from the Archive Grid database. Results were analyzed to determine Google Alerts' accuracy, what types of institutions would benefit most from using Google Alerts, what the content of the sources found by the alerts was, what types of publications returned the most results, and if Google Alerts could also identify image reuse. While Google Alerts' accuracy for returning usable results for analysis was not very high, the structure of alert e-mails makes discarding irrelevant results simple and quick. Mid- to large-sized museums and institutions staging frequent exhibits and events, as well as those with active collections, return the largest number of alerts. News publications and social media publish the most content related to cultural heritage institutions. Though the sample set was small, Google Alerts also was able to identify image reuse.     

Difference score reliabilities within the RIAS-2 and WISC-V

Many prominent intelligence tests (e.g., Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition [WISC-V] and Reynolds Intellectual Abilities Scale, Second Edition [RIAS-2]) offer methods for computing subtest- and composite-level difference scores. This study uses data provided in the technical manual of the WISC-V and RIAS-2 to calculate reliability coefficients for difference scores. Subtest-level difference score reliabilities range from 0.59 to 0.99 for the RIAS-2 and from 0.53 to 0.87 for the WISC-V. Composite-level difference score reliabilities generally range from 0.23 to 0.95 for the RIAS-2 and from 0.36 to 0.87 for the WISC-V. Emphasis is placed on comparisons recommended by test publishers and a discussion of minimum requirements for interpretation of differences scores is provided.     

Teachers’ epistemic cognition in situ: Evidence from classroom assessment

Assessment tasks require the coordination of multiple knowledge-related goals for various audiences, and therefore provide an authentic context to observe teachers’ epistemic cognition in practice. In this instrumental case study, we investigated seven, fifth grade English Language Arts teachers’ epistemic cognition as they evaluated students’ classroom assessments. Our analyses revealed that the components of epistemic cognition identified in the literature emerged in these teachers’ assessment processes. Moreover, we found evidence that teachers’ epistemic cognition was iterative and nuanced, and required shifts in aims and reliable processes. This resulted in teachers forming new kinds of “epistemic matters” and questions beyond those ideas noted in existing models of epistemic cognition. Significance and implications are discussed.     

The Potential Impact of COVID-19 on Student Learning and How Schools Can Respond

There is no denying the impact that the coronravirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has had on many aspects of our lives. This article looks at the potential impact of COVID-19 on student learning as schools abruptly morphed into virtual learning environments using data from several instructional, practice, and assessment solutions offered by Renaissance. First, three hypothetical learning scenarios are considered using normative data from Star assessments to explore the potential impact on reading and math test performace. Next, data on Focus Skills are used to highlight which grades may have missed the most foundational math and reading content if instruction was stopped or reduced. Last, data from two of Renaissance's practice tools are used to evaluate whether students were practicing key skills following school closures. The article concludes that academic decline will likely occur but may be tempered by the increased use of practice tools; effects may look different for math and reading; and may impact grades and schools differently. As such, schools may need to leverage decision-making frameworks, such as the Multi-tiered Systems of Support/Response-to-Intervention (MTSS/RTI) framework, more than ever to identify needs and target instruction where it matters most when school begins in fall 2020.     

高校体育教育专业田径课堂教学评价现状调查

对我国26所有体育教育专业的高校的田径课堂教学评价现状进行了调查分析,结果表明：各高校田径课堂教学评价指标体系和目标较为完善,但实际操作有相当难度;评价关注的主要是学生在技术、技能和身体素质等方面的发展,忽视课堂教学的过程和条件,对学生的发展性目标,关注不多;在评价方式与方法上,还是注重“量化”,而忽视“质性”评价;在评价结果上,仍过分强调终结性评价结论,而忽视各个时期个体的体能进步状况,因此不能起到促进发展的作用;在田径课堂教学评价实际工作中,以统一的体育教学评价量表多见,专门的田径课堂教学评价量表或量规显得尤为欠缺;评价过程显得封闭、静态、缺乏灵活性与动态性。
