    Digitala system för pedagogisk bedömning öppnar nya möjligheter som inte finns med papper och penna. Dessutom frigörs tid för lärarna. Vi ber därför Skolverket att tillsätta en bred arbetsgrupp för att utveckla ett digitalt system för nationella prov, skriver Agneta Gulz och Magnus Haake, båda verksamma inom utbildningsvetenskap

    ICT, learning and the potential of androgynity

    Baylor and collaborators have demonstrated (Baylor & Plant, 2005; Baylor et. al., 2006) that the use of virtual pedagogical coaches portrayed as young and attractive women can increase the willingness of female students to apply for technical education and to help increase their selfefficacy. Pedagogical processes such as role modelling and identification seem to be involved (cf. Bandura, 1977; Bandura et al., 1981). However, when analysing Baylor et al.’s results in detail, it appears that the increase in selfefficacy partly stems from a general conception of female engineers as less competent than male: “If she can do it, then I can do it”. This implies a potential conflict between a short-term pedagogical goal as to recruitment and boosted self-efficacy in students, and a long-term pedagogical goal regarding a desired change of gender prejudices and stereotypes. In an ongoing project (“Challenging Gender Stereotypes – using Virtual Pedagogical Agents”) we explore the possibilities to use androgynous virtual coaches for recruitment purposes, with a focus on students applying for educations with clear male or female dominance (and thus associated with gendered stereotypes). By June this year we expect to have results from an empirical study with about 100 participants, with qualitative as well as quantitative data. It is this study that we would like to present and discuss at the conference. Furthermore we wish to address and problematize broader issues on gender stereotypes and gender representation in the pedagogical use of digital media (and related issues regarding class, ethnicity, etc.). In our view, potentials, pitfalls as well as responsibilities accompany the increased degrees of freedom of representations in digital media, and we want to discuss how decisions regarding whose voice and whose appearance shall be exposed (in terms of gender, age, ethnicity, class, regional subgroup, etc.) can be made.

    Comparing consortial repositories: a model-driven analysis

    No full text
    This study aims to provide a comparative assessment of different repository consortia as a reference to inform future work in the area. A review of the literature was used to identify repository consortia, and their features were compared. Three models of consortial repositories were derived from this comparison, based on their structure and aims. The consortial models were based around either: creating a shared repository for the members, developing a repository software platform or creating a metadata harvesting service to aggregate content. Using case studies of each type of repository consortium, each model was assessed in terms of its particular strengths and weaknesses. These strengths were then compared across the models to enable those considering a consortial repository project to assess which model, or combination of models, would best address their needs and to aid in project planning
