Computerized Adaptive Dynamic Assessment of Problem-solving

工程-土木（54）该项目的目标是完善和扩展基于计算机的教学/学习工具，该工具是在以前的CCLI赠款下试点的。在流体力学课程中，原型版能有效提高大学生解决问题的能力。该原型将被改进，用于静力学课程，纳入最近有可能改善学习、评估和教学的研究成果。改进包括：开发一个问题库来映射二维分类表，以评估不同知识形式的认知加工；结合动态及适应性评估，以改善学与教；并提供反复的机会，让学生在不同的语境中建立不同概念之间的多重联系，以提高在新语境中解决问题的能力。来自五所院校土木和机械工程系的八名教员正在合作开发问题库，并在各自院校的课程中实施改进后的系统。遵循公认的程序来证明系统的可靠性、有效性、可移植性和有效性。传播工作包括将产品包装成光盘，并附有一本教科书。

Engineering - Civil (54)The goal of this project is refining and expanding a computer-based teaching/learning tool that was piloted under a previous CCLI grant. The prototype version is effective in improving problem-solving skills of undergraduates in a fluids mechanics course. The prototype will be refined for use in a statics course by incorporating recent research findings that have the potential to improve learning, assessment, and teaching. The refinements include: developing a bank of problems to map the 2-dimensional Taxonomy Table to assess the cognitive processing of different knowledge forms; incorporating dynamic and adaptive assessment for improved learning as well as teaching; and providing repeated opportunities for students to make multiple connections between different concepts in different contexts to improve problem-solving in new contexts. Eight faculty members from civil and mechanical engineering departments in five institutions are collaborating to develop the bank of problems and to implement the refined system in their courses at their respective institutions. Accepted procedures are followed to demonstrate the reliability, validity, portability, and effectiveness of the system. Dissemination efforts include packaging the product as a CD-ROM accompanied by a textbook.
