Available surveys

- -

Currently, Moodle only offers specific types of surveys (future versions -will enable you to create your own).

- -

The available surveys have been chosen as being particularly useful for -evaluating online learning environments that use a constructivist pedagogy. -They are useful to identify certain trends that may be happening among -your participants. - -(To see a paper where these are used in a detailed analysis, see: -http://dougiamas.com/writing/herdsa2002)

COLLES - Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey

-
-

The COLLES comprises an economical 24 statements grouped into six scales, - each of which helps us address a key question about the quality of the on-line - learning environment:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
RelevanceHow relevant is on-line learning to students' professional practices? -
Reflection Does on-line learning stimulate students' critical reflective thinking? -
Interactivity To what extent do students engage on-line in rich educative dialogue? -
Tutor SupportHow well do tutors enable students to participate in on-line learning? -
Peer Support Is sensitive and encouraging support provided on-line by fellow students? -
Interpretation Do students and tutors make good sense of each other's on-line communications?
- -

Underpinning the dynamic view of learning is a new theory of knowing: social - constructivism, which portrays the learner as an active conceptualiser within - a socially interactive learning environment. Social constructivism is an epistemology, - or way of knowing, in which learners collaborate reflectively to co-construct - new understandings, especially in the context of mutual inquiry grounded in - their personal experience.

- -

Central to this collaboration is the development of students' communicative - competence, that is, the ability to engage in open and critical discourse - with both the teacher and peers. This discourse is characterised by an empathic - orientation to constructing reciprocal understanding, and a critical attitude - towards examining underlying assumptions.

- -

The COLLES has been designed to enable you - to monitor the extent to which you are able to exploit the interactive capacity - of the World Wide Web for engaging students in dynamic learning practices.

ATTLS - Attitudes to Thinking and Learning Survey

-
- -

The theory of 'ways of knowing', originally from the field of gender research (Belenky et al., 1986) provides us with a survey tool to examine the quality of discourse within a collaborative environment.

- -

The Attitudes Towards Thinking and Learning Survey (ATTLS) is an instrument developed by Galotti et al. (1999) to measure the extent to which a person is a 'connected knower' (CK) or a 'separate knower' (SK).

- -

People with higher CK scores tend to find learning more enjoyable, and are often more cooperative, congenial and more willing to build on the ideas of others, while those with higher SK scores tend to take a more critical and argumentative stance to learning.

- -

Studies have shown that these two learning styles are independent of each other (Galotti et al., 1999; Galotti et al., 2001). Additionally, they are only a reflection of learning attitudes, not learning capacities or intellectual power.
