Paper Abstract:
|
According to the socioconstructivist perspective, training allows students to manage a conceptual change. In other
words, training is not a simple growth of information. Instead, it is a real cognitive and affective re-organization in
qualitative terms. In this paper we stress the relevance of metacognitive processes throughout self assessment in a
training course. A training course can facilitate a deep conceptual change, even in adult students, by encouraging student
self-assessment. For these reasons we are going to focus our attention on two different versions of the same e-course: the
Workshop for Observing Children in School. We are going to provide the theoretical framework, the evolution of
learning methodology used over several years, a comparison among curricular results in qualitative and quantitative
terms, and the role played by self-assessment in the improvements of training outcomes. |
