Description¶

The study's central instrument is a set of four rubrics, one per competency module, used for self-assessment at the end of the seminar. As printed, "Four different rubrics were developed according to the defined competencies: 1) production, 2) search / selection, 3) research and 4) mobilization of OER", each broken into indicators, with "the scale used was apprentice, practitioner and expert". The instrument underwent content validation by consultant professors, whose proposed modifications were included in the final version.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Content validation via expert consultant professors before application

Constraints¶

• The study presents only the features and results of instrument 4, not the other four instruments

Target Learners¶

• teachers in higher education and distance education contexts

Target Learning Goals¶

• production, search/selection, diffusion and mobilization of open educational resources

Claims¶

• Doctoral-level teachers show the highest advanced-level percentage in each of the four OER competency modules [+W]
• MOOC participants self-assess predominantly at the advanced competency level, with very similar level distributions across all four OER competency modules [+W]
• Most teachers report precise identification of OER sources plus at least two diffusion improvements when implementing a diffusion strategy [+W]
• Teachers' educational level was statistically associated with their responses on three of 37 OER-competency survey items, though the definition-of-elements association is weak and non-linear [+W]

Related Elements¶

Examples¶

• Use a four-week MOOC seminar with rubric self-assessment to develop teachers' OER competencies
