Die voorspelling van studentesukses: watter faktore behoort ons in ag te neem?

Auxin Padkossessie – 31 Julie 2012

Watter faktore speel ’n rol in die sukses wat studente behaal? Hoe meet ons hierdie veranderlikes? En hoe gebruik ons hierdie kennis om die ontwikkeling van studente te ondersteun? Hierdie is vrae wat gevra is tydens ’n sessie, getiteld “Die voorspelling van studentesukses: watter faktore behoort ons in ag te neem?”, wat onlangs aangebied is as deel van die Auxin-projek. Die projek het ten doel om geleenthede vir akademiese personeel van die US te skep om voortdurend hulle onderrigvaardighede deur hulle bloot te stel aan gesprekke met kundiges en ander akademici op kampus.

Tydens die sessie het twee sprekers opgetree – prof Callie Theron (Bedryfsielkunde) en dr Alten du Plessis (Tredhou). Die aanbieders het die kompleksiteit van die verklaring en voorspelling van studentesukses beklemtoon deur verskillende perspektiewe en metodes in te span om die vraag te belig. In die meegaande potgooie (“podcasts”)  kan u beide se aanbiedings sien sowel as van die gesprek wat deur die aanbiedinge gestimuleer is. Lewer gerus kommentaar indien u wil deelneem aan die gesprek!

Auxin Workshop held on 28 February 2012 at CTL

Assessment of Professionalism as Graduate Attribute

Professionalism is no doubt an attribute that you would say you would like your students to leave university with. Do you, however, actually assess professionalism in your students? This can be a tricky business!  At this first “Padkos” session of the Auxin Project for 2012, a brief overview of the challenges posed by the assessment of professionalism, was given. Results of recent research at Stellenbosch about this was shared and there was the opportunity to discuss how one might meet these challenges.
