Assessing Students´ use of Personal Learning Environment

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The current trend in education is to connect formal, non-formal and informal learning. It is based on the idea that the student?s key competencies should be developed continually. Moreover, it is also influenced by technological development, particularly the massive use of mobile and cloud technology which can be used in all three ways of acquiring knowledge and skills. A Personal Learning Environment appears to be an effective way to connect formal, non-formal and informal learning, using the available technology. Students should be able to create their own Personal Learning Environment at a very early age. 12 is a crucial age, however. At this age, the majority of students own a cellular phone, use a computer and the Internet. As far as education is concerned, at this age students need to process much more information than before. This sudden change is caused by an increased number of vocational courses. Since a Personal Learning Environment is a complex tool, it can include virtually anything. That is why it can differ from student to student. The question is how to assess students? use of an environment that should help them be prepared for their professional lives? That is why the author decided to design a tool for assessing students? use of a Personal Learning Environment. The paper presents the designed scoring rubrics aimed not only at assessing students? use of a Personal Learning Environment, but also at their ability to organize content in this environment. Over a period of six months, the designed scoring rubrics were pilot tested on a sample of elementary school students of different ages. During this time, the designed tool was used to assess students? use of a PLE. The results, which are being presented in this paper, illustrate the development of students? use of a Personal LearningEnvironment.
