教與學優化中心辦工作坊探討教學評估的創新思維與方法
On 29 March, CTLE held a Professional Development Workshop on assessment and grades, which aimed to explore new ideas and approaches to assessment and grading that can facilitate deeper learning while minimizing stress and anxiety among students. Over 40 UM academic staff joined the event.
Prof. Spencer Benson, founder and director of Education Innovations International Consulting (Eii-Consulting, LLC) in Maryland, US, highlighted the importance of using newer technologies like e-portfolios and reflection pieces that push students to reflect and think and discussed how technology can be used to innovate assessment while reducing stress. He also talked about the importance of transparency in assessment through providing rubrics and setting clear goals to help students feel that the assessment is fair and to reduce their stress levels.
Regarding how teachers can balance assessing student learning with providing a supportive and stress-free learning environment, especially in the context of the pandemic and the rise of AI, he shared the need for educators to adapt to the new phase of AI, using it as a learning tool instead of a block.
3 月 29 日,教與學優化中心舉辦了教師專業發展工作坊,探討教學評估的創新思維與方法,以促進更深入的學習。活動吸引逾40名澳大教學人員參與。
來自美國馬里蘭州 Education Innovations International Consulting (Eii-Consulting, LLC)創始人兼總監Spencer Benson教授強調了使用電子學習歷程( E-portfolios)和反思文章等新技術的重要性,他們可以促使學生進行反思和思考,並能夠促進創新評估的設計,減低學生承受的壓力;他還談到評估透明度的重要性,老師需提供規則和明確的目標,以幫助學生感受到評估的公平,並減輕他們的壓力。
他也分享了教師如何在評估學生學習,與提供支持和無壓力的學習環境上,兩者如何取得平衡;在新冠疫情和人工智能興起的背景下,老師適應人工智能新階段的需要,不將其攔阻但運用在學習上。
