| topic 2 readiness assessment: Team-Based Learning Larry K. Michaelsen, Arletta Bauman Knight, L. Dee Fink, 2023-07-03 This book describes team-based learning (TBL), an unusually powerful and versatile teaching strategy that enables teachers to take small group learning to a whole new level of effectiveness. It is the only pedagogical use of small groups that is based on a recognition of the critical difference between groups and teams, and intentionally employs specific procedures to transform newly-formed groups into high performance learning teams.This book is a complete guide to implementing TBL in a way that will promote the deep learning all teachers strive for. This is a teaching strategy that promotes critical thinking, collaboration, mastery of discipline knowledge, and the ability to apply it.Part I covers the basics, beginning with an analysis of the relative merits and limitations of small groups and teams. It then sets out the processes, with much practical advice, for transforming small groups into cohesive teams, for creating effective assignments and thinking through the implications of team-based learning.In Part II teachers from disciplines as varied as accounting, biology, business, ecology, chemistry, health education and law describe their use of team-based learning. They also demonstrate how this teaching strategy can be applied equally effectively in environments such as large classes, mixed traditional and on-line classes, and with highly diverse student populations.Part III offers a synopsis of the major lessons to be learned from the experiences of the teachers who have used TBL, as described in Part II. For teachers contemplating the use of TBL, this section provides answers to key questions, e.g., whether to use team-based learning, what it takes to make it work effectively, and what benefits one can expect from it–for the teacher as well as for the learners.The appendices answer frequently asked questions, include useful forms and exercises, and offer advice on peer evaluations and grading. A related Web site that allows readers to “continue the conversation,” view video material, access indexed descriptions of applications in various disciplines and post questions further enriches the book. The editors’ claim that team-based instruction can transform the quality of student learning is fully supported by the empirical evidence and examples they present. An important book for all teachers in higher education. |

| topic 2 readiness assessment: Beyond the Bubble Test Linda Darling-Hammond, Frank Adamson, 2014-05-14 Performance assessment is a hot topic in school systems, and educators continue to analyze its costs, benefits, and feasibility as a replacement for high-stakes testing. Until now, researchers and policymakers have had to dig to find out what we know and what we still have to learn about performance assessment. Beyond the Bubble Test: How Performance Assessments Support 21st Century Learning synthesizes the latest findings in the field, and not a moment too soon. Statistics indicate that the United States is in danger of falling behind if it fails to adapt to our changing world. The memory and recall strategies of traditional testing are no longer adequate to equip our students with the skills they need to excel in the global economy. Instead teachers need to engage students in deeper learning, assessing their ability to use higher-order skills. Skills like synthesizing information, understanding evidence, and critical problem-solving are not achieved when we teach to multiple-choice exams. Examples in Beyond the Bubble Test paint a useful picture of how schools can begin to supplement traditional tests with something that works better. This book provides new perspectives on current performance assessment research, plus an incisive look at what’s possible at the local and state levels. Linda Darling-Hammond, with a team of leading scholars, bring together lessons learned, new directions, and solid recommendations into a single, readily accessible compendium. Beyond the Bubble Test situates the current debate on performance assessment within the context of testing in the United States. This comprehensive resource also looks beyond our U.S. borders to Singapore, Hong Kong, and other places whose reform-mindedness can serve as an example to us. |

| topic 2 readiness assessment: Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment Rocio Fernandez-Ballesteros, 2002-12-20 ′once you let a clinical psychologist lay hands on this book, it is quite difficult to get it back again′ - Martin Guha, Librarian, Institute of Psychiatry, London The Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment is a landmark reference work and constitutes a definitive resource for academics, practitioners and students working in any field of applied psychological science. Psychological assessment is a key component of psychological work. Devices of scientific assessment are necessary for adequate describing, diagnosis, predicting, explaining or changing the behaviour of all subjects under examination. This double-volume collection offers complete coverage to facilitate action in each of these areas and will consequently be invaluable to psychologists in any applied setting. The two volumes of the Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment contain a series of 235 entries, organized alphabetically, and covering a variety of fields. Each entry includes a general conceptual and methodological overview, a section on relevant assessment devices, followed by links to related concepts in the Encyclopedia and a list of references. The Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment provides: - A comprehensive network for psychological assessment as a conceptual and methodological discipline, and as a professional activity - An overview of the complexity of assessment, which involves not only testing, but also a process of decision-making for answering relevant questions that arise in the different applied fields - A presentation of relevant issues from basic theory (theoretical perspectives, ethics) and methodology (validity, reliability, item response theory) to technology and modes of assessment (tests, instruments and equipment for measuring behavioral operations) - An attempt to unify this diverse field by offering full coverage of all areas from the most traditional, such as clinical, educational and work and organizational psychology, to the most recent applications linked to health, gerontology, neuropsychology, psychophysiology and environmental assessment. The Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment offers a truly international perspective, both in terms of the selected authors and chosen entries. It aims to provide an integrated view of assessment, bringing together knowledge dispersed throughout several methodological and applied fields, but united in terms of its relevance for assessment. It is an essential purchase for any library with an existing collection or concern with the field of psychological science in general. |

| topic 2 readiness assessment: A Step-by-Step Guide to Case-Based Collaborative Learning (CBCL) Henrike C. Besche, Richard M. Schwartzstein, Randall W. King, Melanie P. Hoenig, Barbara A. Cockrill, 2022-09-24 This book is about Case-Based Collaborative Learning (CBCL) for medical educators. CBCL combines elements from team-, case- and problem-based based learning using a flipped classroom model. This book presents a detailed “how to” guide on how to create CBCL classroom materials, how to facilitate vivid discussions, and how to support students and faculty in a CBCL curriculum. The first chapter explores the CBCL method in context of established educational principles. The second chapter provides a step-wise guide to creating CBCL teaching materials from scratch or adapting existing resources. Chapter three discusses how to support both - faculty and students - in making the most out of in-class case discussions. The last chapter explores modifications to the CBCL method that have evolved over time in adapting to teaching remotely, as well as promoting self-directed learning skills in students. While originally developed in context of undergraduate medical education, the CBCL method is of interest to anyone in higher education that values flipped classroom methods and discussion-based teaching. |

| topic 2 readiness assessment: Applications of Whole Genome Sequencing in food safety management Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, World Health Organization, 2018-06-18 Food safety is a global concern, and consumers have the right to safe and nutritious food (FAO, 1996). Considerable efforts to strengthen food control systems have been made in many countries. However, while progress has been made, the estimated global burden of foodborne diseases: 600 million foodborne illnesses and 420 000 deaths from 31 major food safety hazards in 2010 (WHO, 2015)1 and the related social and economic costs (loss of income, employment and market access) remain unacceptably high. In addition, food safety is an important element in achieving food security, which is negatively impacted by both the health and economic aspects of unsafe food. Within this context, there are ongoing efforts in the way in which the building blocks of food control systems are developed and implemented, from legislative aspects to surveillance and monitoring programmes, and the tools used by laboratories. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) has recently emerged as a new tool, and offers great potential in the way we investigate, assess and manage microbiological food safety issues and illnesses. It allows the identification and characterization of micro-organisms with a level of precision not previously possible, therefore potentially minimizing much of the uncertainty which impacts our ability to respond and manage microbiological food safety issues effectively and efficiently. This, in addition to its rapidly declining costs, increases the attractiveness of incorporating such a tool in food safety management. While several industrialized countries have been moving forward with the technology, its application is limited, particularly in developing and transitional countries. Information describing the potential benefits, possible drawbacks, infrastructure requirements and technical challenges is urgently needed if countries are to make appropriate decisions about when and where to use this technology to strengthen national food control systems. |

| topic 2 readiness assessment: Active and Healthy Aging and Quality of Life: Interventions and Outlook for the Future Yulan Lin, Waqas Sami, Mila Nu Nu Htay, Sudip Bhattacharya, 2024-04-15 The continuous growth of older adult populations, as a consequence of demographic changes, is a huge challenge. To prevent costly and negative impacts effects on the population as a whole, it is crucial that societies increase their knowledge of promoting good health among older adults, to promote good health and a better quality of life in their later years. Active aging is the process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation, and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age. An active and healthy life has remained one of the most important aspirations for all people, both young and older adults alike. This ambition has become a genuine possibility for many due to a rising life expectancy among people of diverse attributes across the world. While celebrating longer life and with more financial security in later life than ever before, we need to challenge how these aspirations can be sustained, through our own behavioural responses and through public policy, institutional reforms, and innovations. The challenge is to identify, recommend, and promote strategies and interventions that stimulate and sustain the activity, independence, and health of people of all ages, especially older adults and, in the process, promote the well-being and quality of life of people and make public welfare systems more sustainable. |
| topic 2 readiness assessment: Respiratory Nursing Michele Geiger-Bronsky, MSN, APNP, BC, Donna Wilson, RN, MSN, RRT, 2008-06-16 By the 1990s, it became clear to many in the nursing community that certification for respiratory nursing practice was desirable, even necessary, but that this could not take place without a carefully designed CORE Curriculum. This book, nearly a decade in the making, sets out such a curriculum. Put together by an expert team of respiratory nurse practitioners, the book includes 42 chapters, each blindly peer reviewed by at least 3 people for clinical content and timeliness. The book will therefore be essential for all nurses seeking the expertise needed to care for persons with respiratory disease or compromised function. Respiratory Nursing should be read by all respiratory and intensive care specialists, related health care professionals, and teachers and students in graduate and undergraduate nursing programs. |

| topic 2 readiness assessment: Assessing Deeper Learning Douglas G. Wren, 2019-08-01 Deeper learning has been defined as “the skills and knowledge that students must possess to succeed in 21st century jobs and civic life” (William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, 2013). Assessing Deeper Learning: Developing, Implementing, and Scoring Performance Tasks examines the role of performance assessment to facilitate student attainment of the core competencies of deeper learning. The book details a journey that a large school district undertook to create a system of performance tasks designed to assess students’ proficiency in critical thinking, problem solving, and effective communication. Chapters devoted to the development and implementation of the district’s high-quality performance tasks and rubrics highlight successes and lessons learned during the journey. Additional chapters focus on such topics as types of performance assessments, instructional methods that promote student engagement and deeper learning, policy, and how teacher leaders can drive this innovation to serve the teaching, learning, assessment, and accountability needs of schools. Assessing Deeper Learning: Developing, Implementing, and Scoring Performance Tasks was written for teachers, administrators, superintendents, and policy makers to better understand the challenges and opportunities afforded by using performance assessment to promote deeper learning. |
