SGER Proposal: Building an Evaluative Foundation for Just-in-Time Teaching

这是一项小额赠款的提议，目的是利用广泛传播的教学创新(即时教学或JITT)，但其实施速度迅速超过了理论规范、系统评估和原则验证，以指导在不同背景下的最佳使用。JITT的创新之处在于让JITT的学生在上课前不久通过电子方式对精心设计的基于网络的作业做出回应(热身)，教师会审查这些作业，以便根据诊断出的学生需求调整课堂教学/学习。教师审阅这些信息的结果是，计划和实施围绕这些学生的反应建立的反馈丰富的互动课堂课程，以取代传统的讲课。主要项目目标是：1)以理论上连贯的方式，巩固、组织和分析现有的关于综合技术援助有效性的现有证据；2)制定对个别综合技术援助项目进行总结性和形成性评估的设计原则；以及3)在社区范围内(即综合技术援助计划项目社区)建立一种将评估纳入项目的共同期望的文化。

This is a proposal for a small grant to take advantage of an instructional innovation (Just-in-Time-Teaching or JiTT) that is widely spread but where implementation has rapidly outpaced theoretical specification, systematic evaluation, and validation of principles to guide optimal use in different contexts. The innovation is having JiTT students respond electronically to carefully constructed web-based assignments due shortly before class (Warm Ups) that the instructor reviews "just-in-time" to adjust the classroom teaching/learning to diagnosed student needs. The result of the instructor's review of this information is the planning and implementation of feedback-rich interactive classroom sessions built around these student responses replacing the traditional lecture. The major project goals are: 1) to consolidate, organize, and analyze the currently available evidence on JiTT's effectiveness, in a theoretically coherent way; 2) to produce design principles for summative and formative evaluation of individual JiTT projects; and 3) to build a community-wide (i.e., JiTT community of projects) culture of shared expectations for embedding evaluation in projects.
