Description¶
A formative learning activity developed for educational psychology lectures at Goethe University Frankfurt. As the article describes it, "learners must first watch a video in which a German high school student presents ten learning tips" and then write short argumentative essays judging each tip's usefulness and connecting it to lecture contents such as learning strategies, memory concepts and motivation, with a separate paragraph per tip and APA-cited sources. After the submission deadline, learners receive feedback texts on essay quality and content areas to revisit. The activity supplies the process and textual data the feedback pipeline needs.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Students write a separate paragraph for each tip and refer to at least two scientific sources cited according to APA guidelines
Constraints¶
- Designed for the content of one specific lecture and video, with ten printed learning tips ranging from starting early to staying motivated
Target Learners¶
- Teacher students attending introductory educational psychology lectures at Goethe University, Frankfurt
Learning Goals¶
- Applying educational psychology concepts (learning strategies, metacognition, attention, working memory, long-term memory, motivation) to evaluate learning tips
Claims¶
- The segmentation training corpus covers 434 of 698 essays, yielding 22,581 coded sentences [+W]
- Sentence-to-learning-tip segmentation coding by three trained coders reached an average Cohen's Kappa of 0.96 [+W]
- Learning-tip-to-lecture-topic coding by seven coders reached an overall agreement of 0.87 (Cohen's Kappa) [+W]
