VALUTARE L'APPRENDIMENTO NELLA DIDATTICA A DISTANZA IN EMERGENZA

Contenuto principale dell'articolo

Charles B. Hodges
Michael K. Barbour

Abstract

Gli autori affrontano il tema dell'applicabilità dei tipi di valutazione comunemente utilizzati nella formazione online al contesto della didattica a distanza in situazioni emergenziali. In particolare, si considera il caso di compiti scritti, discussioni online, lavoro educativo sul campo, i test e i quiz, le presentazioni e gli e-portfolio. La discussione include i concetti di valutazione sincrona e asincrona e le problematiche relative all'integrità accademica. Gli autori concludono osservando che l'empatia e una flessibilità “radicale” sono parte integrante della valutazione nella didattica a distanza in emergenza.
