Home page for CERE course

By Steve Draper,   Department of Psychology,   University of Glasgow.

This page is an index page in my own web space for the CERE course: a psychology level 4 option "Concepts and empirical results in education" 86JE.

The course will be mainly conducted in moodle here: http://fims.moodle.gla.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=324

Last year's (2009-10) course is here: http://fims.moodle.gla.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=297     student wiki pages

If you are a student or staff member of Glasgow University, then you should be able to login to the moodle, and to access the course as a guest.

All the more important documents etc. are either hosted in moodle, or directly linked from there. This page is mainly for me to collect links for things in my own web space, and perhaps include some less important additional links for students.

Major documents

  • Exam questions and outline answers.   And this year, the moodle wiki pages will contain last year's exam questions plus outline answers.
  • A note on exams and this course
  • List of references   Steve's choice of great papers
  • (Revised) Aims and objectives for the course
  • The wiki pages produced by students on last year's course: in the moodle.

    Slides and handouts

  • Slides from session 1 (16 Feb)
  • Handout on the coursework (version 1)
  • Additional slides for session 2 (23 Feb)
  • Handout for first homework exercise
  • Slides for session 3 (2 March)
  • Slides for session 4 (9 March)
  • Slides for session 5 (16 March)

  • Old handouts on constructivism and other issues (Main point is just the sections on constructivism): Ho1 Ho2

    Other links

  • The relationship of the Perry, Deep&shallow, and Laurillard models (web essay)

  • Brief pointers and refs to Jigsaw, Patchwork Text, and Socratic Dialogue.

  • Brief descriptions plus pointers to full refs on 4 "magic rubric" papers, including Dweck. They all have the feature that an apparently very small intervention has a significant educational effect.

  • A predecessor course had an overlapping syllabus, and its materials might be of some use. Extensive exam questions and outline answers for it are there, but of course this course has a different syllabus.

  • For notes on moodle, and warnings that students should be given about editing wikis etc. see (for the moment):
