Affective Domain in Science Education

Image
I did some research on why affective domain is important especially in my major which is Science. After the "open-close tab" series in my google journey, I found this study of Thomas Koballa about the Affective Domain in Science Education.  Below are the highlights of his study.  ------- Framework for the Affective Domain in Science Education By Thomas Koballa Department of Mathematics and Science Education, University of Georgia Introduction The affective domain (from the Latin affectus, meaning "feelings") includes a host of constructs, such as attitudes, values, beliefs, opinions, interests, and motivation. Research in the affective domain is limited by confusing definitions of affective constructs underdeveloped assessment practices, including scale construction affective variables being "add-ons" to investigations of cognitive learning While the affective dimensions of science learning have long been recognized as important, they have rece...

READ: Digital Beats Paper When It Comes to Portfolios, How and Why?

There is something appealing about a paper portfolio—from being able to feel the texture and quality of the paper used, to having a tangible product to hold. And while a well-designed paper portfolio is certainly a work of art, it begs the questions: in this digital age, is it practical? 8 Advantages of an ePortfolio 1 – Provides Enduring Continuity Over time, a paper portfolio will show signs of age and wear. Even if precautions are taken, it will be susceptible to environmental elements (i.e., moisture, sunlight). Whereas an ePortfolio doesn’t need to worry about decay and can be continuously updated with fresh information. 2 – Offers Easy Mobility Thanks to smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc., the average person is well-connected. This means his/her ePortfolio is always a couple of clicks away.

What is a learning objective? A learning objective states what a student will learn by the end of a lesson or module. It should include a measurable verb from the designated domain cognitive, affective, or psychomotor) and focus on the student. What should I keep in mind when writing a learning objective? A learning objective is not a list of what will be covered during a lesson. If the lesson is one to two hours, you will want to write at least three learning objectives. Three or more hours should have at least three to five objectives. What do you mean by domain? Learning can be divided into three domains: Cognitive : This is the most commonly used domain. It deals with the intellectual side of learning. Affective : This domain includes objectives relating to interest, attitude, and values relating to learning the information.

PORTFOLIO ASSESSMENT: Its Pros and Cons

Image
The Pros of Using a Portfolio Assessment 1. A portfolio assessment demonstrates learning over the course of time rather than what a student knows a particular day. 2. A portfolio assessment provides an opportunity for a student to reflect on their learning, to self assess, and to formulate a deeper understanding of the concepts they are learning beyond a simple surface explanation. 3. A portfolio assessment requires a great level of individual interaction between the student and teacher wherein they are always collaborating about the requirements and components going into the portfolio. The Cons of Using a Portfolio Assessment 1. Developing and assessing a portfolio is time-consuming. It takes a lot of effort from both the teacher and the student and is a demanding endeavor in which you can quickly fall behind. 2. Portfolio assessments are very subjective in nature. Even if the teacher utilizes a rubric, the individualized nature of a portfolio makes it difficult to remain ...

A portfolio assessment is a collection of student works that are associated with standards you are required to learn. This collection of work is often gathered over a long period of time to reflect what you have been taught as well as what you have learned. Each piece in the portfolio is selected because it is an authentic representation of what you have learned and is meant to demonstrate your current knowledge and skills. A portfolio by nature is a storybook capturing a student's progression of learning as they move through the year. A portfolio can include classwork, artistic pieces, photographs, and a variety of other media all demonstrating the concepts that you have mastered. Each item that is selected to go in the portfolio is chosen within the parameters of the purpose of the portfolio itself. The Purpose of Developing a Portfolio A portfolio assessment is often deemed an authentic form of assessment because it includes authentic samples of a student's work....
