Reconciling work-integrated learning assessment
Work-integrated learning is vital for graduate employability, yet assessment is often compromised by misaligned academic and industry expectations. A gap existed between advocating for collaboration in the literature and implementing it in practice to reconcile differing notions of valid evidence. This study aimed to identify key themes from collaborations between employers and module coordinators in designing work-integrated learning (WIL) asses…
Student Perceptions of Teaching Quality in Five Countries
This study examines measurement invariance of student perceptions of teaching quality collected in five countries: Indonesia (n students = 6,331), the Netherlands (n students = 6,738), South Africa (n students = 3,422), South Korea (n students = 6,997) and Spain (n students = 4,676). The administered questionnaire was the My Teacher Questionnaire (MTQ). Student perceived teachers’ teaching quality was estimated using the partial credit model (PCM…
Perspectives of teachers on differentiated teaching in multi-cultural South African secondary schools
Perceived advantages of 3D lessons in constructive learning for South African student teachers encountering learning barriers
Research shows that three-dimensional (3D)-animated lessons can contribute to student teachers’ effective learning and comprehension, regardless of the learning barriers they experience. Student teachers majoring in the subject Life Sciences in General Subject Didactics viewed 3D images of the heart during lectures. The 3D images employed in the lessons enabled student teachers to interact and perform longitudinal and cross-sections of the 3D ima…
Guidelines to assist the implementation of differentiated learning activities in South African secondary schools
Despite previous research and recommendations in South Africa, secondary-school teachers still encounter economic, social and cultural challenges in implementing differentiated learning activities in the classroom. The diversity of learners with learning barriers inevitably leads to an increase in workload for the teachers. This article draws on data generated from the research conducted in South Africa and from questionnaires completed by second…
