But such testing is still anathema to many members of the psychology-education-psychometric (PEP) community. I argue that this irrational bias impedes a much needed enhancement of student learning in higher education. I then review the development of diagnostic multiple-choice tests of higher-level learning; normalized gain and ceiling effects; the documented two-sigma superiority of interactive engagement (IE) to traditional passive-student pedagogy in the conceptually difficult subject of Newtonian mechanics; the probable neuronal basis for such superiority; education’s lack of a community map; higher education’s resistance to change and its related failure to improve the public schools; and, finally, why we should be concerned with student learning. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/15399012/forward http://www.furl.net/item/15399012 Sat, 20 Jan 2007 17:18:01 GMT Evaluation Pre/post testing is anathema to many members of the psychology-education-psychometric (PEP) community. This irrational bias stems in part from the dour appraisal of pre/post testing by Cronbach & Furby (1970), echoed down though the literature to present day texts on assessment such as that by Suskie (2004b). In my opinion, the reticence to employ pre/post testing in evaluation, as used so successfully in physics education reform (Hake, 2005, 2006a), is one reason for the glacial progress of educational research (Lagemann, 2000) and reform (Bok, 2005) in higher education 3 http://www.furl.net/item/14306213/forward http://www.furl.net/item/14306213 Sat, 16 Dec 2006 22:38:47 GMT Games & Learning The recent enthusiasm for educational gaming directs researchers, politicians, game developers and the public toward some important, overlooked issues. What are people learning about academic subjects playing games such as SimCity, Civilization, Tropico, or SimEarth? Might games be used in formal learning environments? This essay argues that these are critical questions to game studies, and educational studies, particularly work in the learning sciences, and offers some important practical and theoretical traditions that games studies can draw upon as it matures as a field. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/14186853/forward http://www.furl.net/item/14186853 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 10:17:59 GMT Instructional Design Interactivity An Advance Organizer helps to organize new material by outlining, arranging and sequencing the main idea of the new material based on what the learner already knows. Advance Organizers use familiar terms and concepts to link what the students already know to the new information that will be presented in the lesson, which aids in the process of transforming knowledge and creatively applying it in new situations. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/13323051/forward http://www.furl.net/item/13323051 Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:37:00 GMT Online Learning - General This e-book is about a new style of learning in which innovative people have combined new information technology with traditional ways of learning to develop a new, personally-driven approach to learning. It happens predominantly in “the third place,” a location that is neither home nor office. The third place is usually a coffee house, one which is designed to serve this particular audience. People gather in their favourite third places to work, relax, visit and learn. They work independently and in groups. Some of them use computers which may or may not be linked to the web. Some are taking courses online; others are writing books like this one. This is Cappuccino U. 3
