Minor subject studies in educational technology

1. PREPARING FOR THE EXAM

2. FORMULATING QUESTIONS FOR THE EXAM
 Formulate five questions (in pairs)
One question concerning SRL, one concerning CL, one
concerning LE, two combining different themes
Not too narrow, not too comprehensive questions 
 Not such questions where you can answer either yes or no
 Not too wide: What is SRL etc.
Good question is
 based on the material
 concentrating to relevant contents
 asks learner’s own thinking
 problem-based, presents a problem/ real life example and
attach the question to that
 demands argumentation

3. IMPLEMENTATION
 Mon 15.12.
Group I: 14.30-15.15
Group II: 15.15-16.00
 1-2 questions/ student
Group can assist
 Joint questions in the end

4. EVALUATION
 Good answer is 1) based on the science books, 2)
well focused, and 3) well argued.
 Final grade = exam (1-5) + science book (+/- one
grade) + participation (+/- one grade)

5. EVALUATION OF SCIENCE BOOKS
 Knowledge base – All key points must be succinctly developed.
Concepts are to be clearly elaborated and knowledge well
established. Students should demonstrate familiarity with the
phenomenon being studied.
 Structure – Work produced show clear arrangement. Opening,
body and closing should be adequately conceptualized and
structured. Title and subtitle should also be concise and
informative. Overall design and presentation must adhere to
guidelines.
 Use of references - References must be utilized in accordance
to instructions given. All sources should be properly documented.
 Analysis and reflection – The main ideas of the project must be
well evaluated by the group. The discussions and conclusion
presented should be critical and analytical, and thoughtful
considerations given to the materials used.
 Collaboration – Every individual is expected to contribute
accordingly. Each member of the group should be equally
committed to the outcome of the project.

6. EVALUATION OF PARTICIPATION
 Made by each small group
 Evaluation sheet
General description how your group have worked with
science books
Evaluate the equality of participation
 Do you want to name somebody who you think has received
higher/ lower grade because of very active/ passive
participation?
How would you grade your own book (based on the
criteria presented in the beginning of the THEORY
course)
