Como recoge Stephen Downes ayer en su blog, en la investigación de la evaluación y del aprendizaje ya pasamos de medir la atención a medir la implicación en el propio aprendizaje. Aunque siguen siendo útiles podemos ir pensando en cambiar indicadores como la asistencia, las intervenciones o las tareas realizadas.
La constancia y la originalidad adquieren nuevos valores como indicadores de orientación y colaboración con el grupo de aprendizaje.
Particularmente destacaría la implicación en la mejora de la formación en el grado y centro donde uno/a aprende.
Creo que Downes sigue dando motivando al compromiso docente y la innovación: Engagement and Motivation in MOOCs . Me quedo con dos de sus selectas y valiosas citas:
"Additionally, Chen, Gonyea and Kuh (2008) say that engagement is the degree to which learners are engaged with their educational activities and that engagement is positively linked to a host of desired outcomes, including high grades, student satisfaction, and perseverance. Other studies define engagement in terms of interest, effort, motivation, time-on-task and suggest that there is a causal relationship between engaged time, that is, the period of time in which students are completely focused on and participating in the learning task, and academic achievement (Bulger et al., 2008)."
"A basic tenet of the research into engagement is that students’ activity, involvement and effort in their learning tasks is related to their academic achievement. While there does not appear to be a single definition for engagement, the following definition represents an aggregation of the literature. Engagement is seen to comprise active and collaborative learning, participation in challenging academic activities, formative communication with academic staff, involvement in enriching educational experiences, and feeling legitimated and supported by university learning communities (Coates, 2007, p. 122)."
