Knowledge Sharing in the Classroom: A Social Network Approach for Diagnostic Assessment and Learning Together
Johannes Konert, Stefan Peter Göbel, Kristina Richter, Regina Bruder · 2011
The basis for individual students' instructional support by teachers is an individual diagnosis of one's learning advances and difficulties. Even though sophisticated diagnostic tools exist, it remains an open question how diagnosis and learning can be merged into a consistent pedagogical method to support both teachers and students with feedback about the learning process. We propose a model for integration of peer assessment functionality for learning into a computer-based Adaptive Diagnostic Learning Environment to solve central problems of classroom diagnostic assessment, adaptive learning and knowledge transfer between peers in a classroom environment. The addressed issues, the approach and our evaluation setup are explained.
