Vretta Inc.: SASKATCHEWAN POLYTECHNIC IMPLEMENTS ASSESSMENT-FOR-LEARNING PLATFORM TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS IN THEIR ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY, AND TRADES MATH COURSES

SASKATOON, SK, Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Saskatchewan Polytechnic is the primary provider of technical education and skills training in the province of Saskatchewan for over 28,000 students, o?ering programs that touch every sector of the economy. Their priority is to ensure that students have access to a high-quality, innovative post-secondary education, and employers have access to a highly skilled and quali?ed workforce that contributes to the prosperity of the province of Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic identi?ed that their incoming students have a numeracy skills gap that has a negative impact on the performance in their math courses. Many students don't have the pre-requisite math skills and lacked the level of con?dence required to succeed in their math courses - a common experience at post-secondary institutions across the country. To overcome these challenges, institutions were creating their own assessments and supporting materials with the aim to bridge the numeracy gap that exists for students entering their post secondary education.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic opted to pilot and implement the assessment-for-learning platform (called OCMT) which was designed by the 24 publicly funded Ontario Colleges as part of the College Math Project (CMP) and the subsequent College Student Achievement Project (CSAP). The CSAP conducted over a decade of research and ?eld trials with over 10,000 students, leading to the development of the OCMT that has been e?ectively implemented to raise the level of numeracy for students at numerous post-secondary institutions across Canada.

In the Summer of 2020, Saskatchewan Polytechnic piloted the OCMT with about 200 students who were enrolled in their engineering and technology mathematics courses. The platform was introduced through Learning Services at the institution and integrated with the Learning Management System to provide students with single sign-on capabilities to access the platform.

The OCMT presented students with a diagnostic assessment that would help them identify their strengths and areas for improvement. Based on the results from the diagnostic assessment, students could upgrade their numeracy skills using interactive, voice-enabled modules. Upon completion of the modules, they could assess their progress through a comprehensive summative assessment.

The results of the pilot led to modi?cations in the delivery of the platform to increase engagement and e?ectiveness. These included the ability for students to receive a certi?cate on successfully completing the OCMT. They were also awarded 5% marks in their respective courses on this achievement.

In the Fall of 2021, the OCMT was rolled out to a larger group of students enrolled in the engineering, technology, and trades mathematics courses. With periodic communication to incoming students from Learning Services, program heads, and math instructors, student usage on the platform increased signi?cantly. Additionally, data visualizations showed that once students were on the platform, many of them worked their way through all the upgrading modules and achieved high scores in the summative assessment. Student data on every topic area showed an overall increase in scores from the diagnostic to summative.

The success of these pilots have encouraged Saskatchewan Polytechnic to identify ways in which the OCMT can be made available to all students across the institution to raise the level of numeracy and prepare students for success in their math courses.

Epische Goldpreisrallye
Der Goldpreis hat ein neues Rekordhoch überschritten. Die Marke von 3.500 US-Dollar ist gefallen, und selbst 4.000 US-Dollar erscheinen nur noch als Zwischenziel.
