Transcript: The Impact of Self-Grading on Middle School English Students’ Writing Skills Angelica Smith - University of Maryland Abstract Superficial teacher feedback on writing assignments combined with little to no student effort to reflect on any feedback keeps students from the opportunity to refine essential metacognitive skills. Previous research indicates that self-grading is an effective strategy for students to practice metacognitive awareness. After 9 weeks of instruction incorporating either self-grading or providing traditional teacher feedback for reflection on writing assignments, gains of 85 seventh graders’ writing scores for organization will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the metacognitive experience of self-grading improves performance. Empirical evidence should help teachers ascertain whether the time-consuming practice of self-grading is valuable to student learning. Statement of Problem Peer- and Self-assessment are not as widely practiced as they could be because teachers' goals are to save as much time as possible and to ensure grade accuracy for all students. Logistical, pedagogical, and metacognitive benefits of peer- and self-assessment were contested and needed to be put to the test. Students don't reflect on teacher feedback on writing assignments and miss out on opportunities to refine metacognitive skills necessary for learning. Significance The proposed study contributes more knowledge about the benefits of self-assessment on student learning The proposed study helps teachers ascertain the value of incorporating self-assessment into their regular practice in improving performance, despite how much time is required for planning and preparation. Research Foundation The Impact of Self- and Peer-Grading on Student Learning Philip M. Sadler and Eddie Good After a Supreme Court decision in favor of peer-grading in classrooms, Sadler and Good decide to put benefits of self- and peer-grading to the test that are of teacher interest (p. 13) Participants included four middle school science classrooms Issues of interest: Student grades as substitute for teacher grades Student grading as a tool for student learning Results: High correlation between teacher and student grades Bias within student grading in self- and peer-assessment Self-assessment students made most gains in test scores Rationale for Proposed Study Test familiarity could have effected results Realistic assessment to determine student learning Research Questions / Hypotheses To what extent does the experience of self-assessment (training and process) impact students' writing organizational skills? Students who participate in self-assessment will improve their writing organizational skills significantly more than comparison students. Methods Participants 113 students in 4 sections of seventh grade English and their teacher No previous instruction on concept being taught during data collection Same age-range as students in original study / Studying different content Measure Scoring Guide for Writing - five or six traits writing rubric; traits include: Ideas & Content, Organization, Word Choice, (Voice,) Sentence Fluency, and Conventions; scores range from 1-lowest to 5-highest. The proposed study will target scores in Organziation. Different from measure in original study in that it is county-/teacher-designed, not student-designed, and assessess aspects of writing instead of science. Procedure All students receive instruction on the Well-Developed Paragraph (WDP) formula: a tool students are required to use to structure WDP's when writing literary analysis. 2 sections in control group (receive traditional teacher feedback on writing assessments); 2 sections in experimental group (trained and participate in self-assessment process) Of the four WDP's written to assess mastery of reading and writing skills, organization scores for first and fourth WDP will be collected. Data Analysis To what extent does the experience of self-assessment impact student's writing organizational skills? Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) are calculated in both groups for the first and fourth WDP. Gains from first to fourth WDP are calculated, and mean gains are found. t-test is conducted to determine the significance of the gains in both groups.

Information flows from many different kinds of sources. Access to information Interdisciplinary Learning Things that Occur on the Internet Things that Occur on the Internet Communities Interaction Feedback Mash-Up PICTURES PICTURES Traditional education Traditional education Rote memorization and efficiency are still the main skills taught in school An expert lectures students Problem-solving methods are dictated by instructors Specialization over interdisciplainary studies Statistics Statistics Why This topic/Conversation? Why This topic/Conversation? The Conversation/Topic: Modern-day education Education has many implications both on the individual and societal level There are many different types of learners in school Technology-based learning can appeal to a wide variety of learners On the Societal Level: 1. It can lead to a more productive society 2. It can lead to a stronger public commons On the Individual Level: 1. Better problem-solvers 2. Better Students Finding a specific website - limited sources talking about its positive and negative effects Figuring Out the Functionality of the Website Focusing on a specific age-group. Would it even work for elementary school students? Would starting with high school students be too late? Challenges Challenges creativity as an emergent property creativity as an emergent property Research Question: How has Evernote, a website that promotes collaborative-based learning, led to the formation of a more enhanced and evolved creativity known as group creativity? Technology Based Creative- Problem Solving Has Two Phases: 1. The Divergent Phase - Exploring, characterized by messiness - Evaluating Data 2. The Convergent Phase - Honing onto specific things. Extracting important information out of clutter. - Focusing on specific solutions Terms for Interaction and Collaboration: Synchronic Interactions - Interactions that occur simultaneously Diachronic Exchanges - Interactions that occur over a longer period of time "Recent models of group creativity (Sawyer, 2003) argue that collective creative work has to be understood as the synergy between synchronic interactions (i.e., parallel and simultaneous) and diachronic exchanges (i.e., interaction over long time spans and mediated by ostensible products)" (Sarmiento, Stahl 503). Quote Quote Potential Conclusions Potential Conclusions Online collaborative-based learning can lead to a greater extent of creativity People would be better suited to solve modern problems If I'm wrong: Technology will be a distraction. Students will find ways to cheat. Ultimately, a case should be made for using a specific website - being more technology dependent - because it can lead to creativity Sarmiento, Johann W. and Gerry Stahl.

Research Question Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 Why did I choose this topic? 2 Thesis Statement Thesis Statement Despite the opposing views, environmental factors, which are ecological; political, and socio-cultural factors can affect happiness positively. Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 3 Counter Argument Counter Argument Some argue that people are born happy or unhappy since the level of life satisfaction alters depending on the genes rather than the environmental factors. Based on the 'World Value Survey' reports, the authors state that those with more A allele genes are happier than others (Minkov and Bond 330). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 Clifford Sosis advocates that although identical twins have similar tendencies towards positive and negative emotions, their happiness levels can also change with the change of non-genetic factors (5). 4 First Reason The first point as to the extent to which environmental factors affect happiness in terms of ecologic determinants is that ideal geographical conditions can enhance life satisfaction. First Reason Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 5 Sub Argument 1 Using proximity measures and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), it was determined that ideal environmental conditions have a positive impact on well-being (Brereton et al. 394-395). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 5) a. “The coefficient of CO2 indicates that with 1 percent increase in carbon dioxide emissions decreases happiness up to 0.46 units…. The results show that with one percent increase in protection of species the level of happiness increases by 0.06 units.” (Majeed and Mumtaz 759-760). Sub Argument 2 Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 5) b. Second Reason Besides the idea mentioned before, another point to consider about how environmental factors affect happiness in terms of political determinants is that a high quality of government may lead to a high life satisfaction level. Second Reason Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 6 Sub Argument 1 Jörg Ott : “There is a high correlation between the quality of government and average happiness in nations, with technical quality as the leading aspect.” (13). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 6) a. According to The World Values Survey covering 75 countries, the quality of government has an independent influence on citizens' life satisfaction in poor countries and the rich ones (Samanni and Holmberg 11). Sub Argument 2 Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 6) b. Third Reason The last point to examine about the extent to which environmental factors influence happiness in terms of socio-cultural determinants is that stereotyped cultural judgments in terms of individuality and gender equality can increase life satisfaction. Third Reason Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 7 Sub Argument 1 Dezhu Ye, Yew-Kwang Ng, and Yujun Lian revealed that in countries with individualistic cultures, people have a more substantial self-identity consistency, a more consistent self-view (521). Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 7) a. The cross-country culture survey indicates that gender egalitarianism can contribute to the well-being level with 37.1 % (Ye et al. 519). Sub Argument 2 Banu ORAL 21903454 Eng102.107 7) b. Conclusion Conclusion To summarize, notwithstanding the opposing views, environmental factors, which are ecological, political, and socio-cultural factors, positively can influence happiness. Body 1 Body 2 Body 3 Body 4 Based on the twin study, which observed changes in the subjective well-being of genetically identical twins due to non-genetic factors, it can be realized that happiness does not come from genes. It is claimed that life satisfaction may increase in ideal geographical conditions such as temperate climate, species conservation, and water quality. It is asserted that the high quality of government in terms of technical quality, impartiality, the rule of law, and absence of corruption may cause a rise in happiness level. As revealed by some, stereotyped cultural judgments regarding individuality and gender equality may improve subjective well-being.
