Γραπτές εργασίες δημιουργίας εκπαιδευτικού υλικού εξΑΕ: Πρόταση οδηγού αξιολόγησης και συσχέτιση επίδοσης εκπαιδευομένων με το ακαδημαϊκό τους υπόβαθρο

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the Written Assignments in DE, through the example of the six-month Module ETA52 "Educational Material and Designing of Teaching and Learning", of the Postgraduate Program ETA, at the School of Humanities, at the Hellenic Open University. The research aims to: (a) propose a revised, detailed guide for assessing Written Assignments that aim to develop printed educational material, suitable for the distance education method, based on the West & Lionarakis model and (b) categorize the errors found in these Written Assignments by relating them to the previous learning background of the learners who submitted them. For this specific research, the Written Assignments of 47 students, enrolled in the Module ETA52, were studied. The present assessment guide was enriched with more detailed assessment criteria, while the grouping of errors and their correlation to the students' learning background was done through a Decision Tree. The creation of a detailed evaluation guide is proposed to ensure a greater degree of reliability of the evaluation of Written Assignments, while the modeling of errors through the Decision Tree is a method of early prediction of the trainees’ individual learning weaknesses, before the submission of the semester's Written Assignment.
