Evaluaciones nacionales del rendimiento académico Volumen 4


Book Description

Análisis de los datos de una evaluación nacional del rendimiento académico es el cuarto de cinco volúmenes de la serie Evaluaciones nacionales del rendimiento académico. Otros volúmenes han descrito los procedimientos de una evaluación hasta llegar a la fase de preparación de los datos para su análisis estadístico, el tema del presente volumen. Los análisis precisos que se lleven a cabo dependerán de las necesidades de información de los responsables políticos y los gestores educativos. En la mayoría de las evaluaciones nacionales, estas necesidades tienen que ver con la calidad del aprendizaje estudiantil, los factores relacionados con el aprendizaje, las cuestiones de equidad, y en algunos casos, la transformación de los resultados educativos con el paso del tiempo. El volumen 4, que consta de dos partes, explica detalladamente los pasos necesarios para el análisis de los datos recopilados en una evaluación nacional. La 1.ª parte ofrece una introducción general a los análisis estadísticos llevados a cabo normalmente en las evaluaciones a gran escala, midiendo la tendencia central y la dispersión de los puntajes de los alumnos, así como las relaciones entre variables. La 2.ª parte describe el programa IATA (Item and Test Analysis), que utiliza la Teoría Clásica de las Pruebas y la Teoría de Respuesta al à?tem para establecer escalas sobre las que determinar los puntajes de los alumnos. Se describe en detalle los pasos del análisis de las administraciones de las pruebas piloto y las pruebas definitivas. Un CD complementario contiene ejercicios especialmente diseñados y ficheros de datos de respaldo para ambas partes del volumen. Este libro será de interés para los especialistas en evaluaciones en gobiernos nacionales, regionales y locales, instituciones de investigación y universidades.










The Landscape of Pastoral Learning


Book Description

Those experienced in pastoral formation realize that pastoral experiences are best converted into pastoral learning when adequately targeted, practiced, and processed. This handbook suggests five conceptual underpinnings to improve the pastoral learning environment in a parish setting: (a) the significance of the term "vocation", (b) Church guidance for pastoral learning, (c) principles of experiential learning, (d) knowing the difference between career mentoring and pastoral mentoring, and (e) the value of group processing of pastoral experiences. These underpinnings provide the rationale for suggesting the concept of Teaching Parish, a model that parallels the Teaching Hospital.

Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Computing


Book Description

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a subject garnering increasing attention in both academia and the industry today. The understanding is that AI-enhanced methods and techniques create a variety of opportunities related to improving basic and advanced business functions, including production processes, logistics, financial management and others. As this collection demonstrates, AI-enhanced tools and methods tend to offer more precise results in the fields of engineering, financial accounting, tourism, air-pollution management and many more. The objective of this collection is to bring these topics together to offer the reader a useful primer on how AI-enhanced tools and applications can be of use in today’s world. In the context of the frequently fearful, skeptical and emotion-laden debates on AI and its value added, this volume promotes a positive perspective on AI and its impact on society. AI is a part of a broader ecosystem of sophisticated tools, techniques and technologies, and therefore, it is not immune to developments in that ecosystem. It is thus imperative that inter- and multidisciplinary research on AI and its ecosystem is encouraged. This collection contributes to that.
