New paper on #evaluativejudgement led by @chadgladovic , @CRADLEdeakin doctoral student ๐ŸŽ‰! On the importance of qualitative self assessment and practise for building EJ.

How can learners practice evaluative judgement using qualitative self-assessment?

It's promotion application season again. While it's annoying to have to re-do it, I now see that sleep-deprived Jo who had a 1 year old missed many opportunities to act like a mediocre white dude and blow my own horn. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ˜‚ @Neil_Selwyn characterises academic publishing as a complete bin fire. Suggests that publishing in Q1 journals alone isn't going to create change in the world. And is concerned that the impactful critical work isn't happening at all within peer reviewed journals.

Grading students may be as easy as ABC, but evidence shows better ways to improve learning

Grades may be a crude incentive for students aspiring to the highest performance, but they have little influence on those who take satisfaction from the learning process.

"feedforward is an evocative yet also deeply problematic term" - a very accurate statement. This new paper looks at what practitioners understand it to be: Unfortunately, it seems that feedback is still thought of as information and grade justification ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
