Ep. #184 - Natalie Loveless
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Dominic and Cymene celebrate the one thing the USA ever did right—Mr. Rogers. And we wonder whether there is such a thing as Canadian BBQ. Then (13:02) the delightful Natalie Loveless (http://loveless.ca/about) joins the pod. She is the author of a forthcoming book with Duke University Press, How to Make Art at the End of the World: A Manifesto for Research-Creation, and that’s where we begin the conversation with a discussion of the relatively new domain of “research-creation” in Canadian higher education and its potential to help expand who belongs in universities and their modes of legitimate practice. We turn from there to the dilemmas of teaching climate catastrophe to students and her new book project, Sensing the Anthropocene: Aesthetic Attunement in an age of Urgency, which connects research-creation to climate justice. We talk about relation as artistic form and why she thinks it is so crucial that Anthropocene art pursue ecological forms that rupture the systems that brought us to our present circumstances. Finally, we discuss why it’s important not to be captured by the tools and temporalities of university audit culture, her thoughts on the Anthropocene concept as lure and barnacle, and how we might build a feminist university of creativity, experiment and with an eros that is cathected, committed and sustaining
Rubric Authoring Tool for Supporting the Development and Assessment of Cognitive Skills in Higher Education
No full textThis paper explores a method to support instructors in assessing cognitive skills in their course, designed to enable aggregation of data across an institution. A rubric authoring tool, ‘BASICS’ (Building Assessment Scaffolds for Intellectual Cognitive Skills) was built as part of the Queen’s University Learning Outcomes Assessment (LOA) Project. It provides a workflow for assessment choices and generates an assessment rubric that can be tailored to individual needs based on user input. The dimensions and criteria in BASICS were adapted from the Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education (VALUE) rubrics, and drew on annotations from over 900 work samples from the LOA project. This paper summarizes the development of the tool, and presents initial reliability and validity data from a pilot study. The pilot found that the BASICS developed rubric was consistent for the assessment of critical thinking and problem solving. The pilot compared assessment data derived from course Teaching Assistants with that of trained Research Assistants. Analysis found moderate intraclass correlation coefficients between the BASICS rubric and corresponding VALUE rubric dimensions, suggesting that the BASICS rubric aligned with the VALUE criteria. Preliminary findings suggest that BASICS is an effective tool for instructors to author rubrics, tailored to their own specifications for assessment of cognitive skills in a course. It is also promising as a method for aggregation of data across the institution. Researchers are conducting further investigation to evaluate the reliability of BASICS rubrics over multiple work samples from a range of disciplinary contexts
