Innovative Practices for Higher Education Assessment and Measurement
Author: Cano, Elena
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1522505326
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
Both educators and their students are involved in the process of assessment – all parties are expected to meet and exceed expectations in the face of competing conditions. New practices are being developed to enhance students’ participation, especially in their own assessment, be it though peer-review, reflective assessment, the introduction of new technologies, or other novel solutions. Though widely researched, few have measured these innovations’ effectiveness in terms of satisfaction, perceived learning, or performance improvements. Innovative Practices for Higher Education Assessment and Measurement bridges the gap between political discourse, theoretical approach, and teaching practices in terms of assessment in higher education. Bringing new insights and presenting novel strategies, this publication brings forth a new perception of the importance of assessment and offers a set of successful, innovative practices. This book is ideal for educators, administrators, policy makers, and students of education.

Innovative Teaching Strategies and Methods Promoting Lifelong Learning in Higher Education
Author: Hava E. Vidergor
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781536120837
Category : College teaching
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book is a comprehensive study of innovative strategies and methods in higher education, and may serve as a guide for college and university lecturers wishing to expand their teaching repertoire. The book offers theoretical constructs and their practical applications in a wide variety of fields demonstrating the implementation of field-tested methods and techniques. It focuses on teaching-learning strategies in higher education in different applied fields, addressing four main areas, each comprising of several subtopics: 1. The main challenges of academic teaching (ie: transdisciplinary teaching-learning, teaching large classes and alternative/formative assessment); 2. Using technology (ie: incorporating technology, blended learning environments and distance learning); 3. Co-operative teaching-learning strategies (ie: problem based learning, project based learning and personal learning network); and 4. Values-based methods (ie: promoting social responsibility and future thinking, values and knowledge education, and adapting teaching learning to special needs). Each of the fourteen chapters, which are written at a high academic standard, presents a current theoretical review followed by a description of sample courses and/or activities exemplifying possible applications of the relevant theory. The contributors are European university and college lecturers and researchers, experts in their respective fields, who have participated in two European Union ERASMUS+ projects, share the love of teaching and wish to disseminate these innovating teaching practices among higher education institutions.

Contemplative Practices in Higher Education
Author: Daniel P. Barbezat
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118646924
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Contemplative pedagogy is a way for instructors to: empower students to integrate their own experience into the theoretical material they are being taught in order to deepen their understanding; help students to develop sophisticated problem-solving skills; support students’ sense of connection to and compassion for others; and engender inquiries into students’ most profound questions. Contemplative practices are used in just about every discipline—from physics to economics to history—and are found in every type of institution. Each year more and more faculty, education reformers, and leaders of teaching and learning centers seek out best practices in contemplative teaching, and now can find them here, brought to you by two of the foremost leaders and innovators on the subject. This book presents background information and ideas for the practical application of contemplative practices across the academic curriculum from the physical sciences to the humanities and arts. Examples of contemplative techniques included in the book are mindfulness, meditation, yoga, deep listening, contemplative reading and writing, and pilgrimage, including site visits and field trips.
