an evaluation of the use of peer assessment in higher education a case study in the school of music kingston university
Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 1997Co-Authors: Michael Searby, Tim EwersAbstract:Abstract The following paper outlines and evaluates the implementation of the use of peer assessment in higher education (HE), using the BA in music course at Kingston University as a case study. The rationale of the peer assessment systems introduced into two curriculum areas is examined, and the operation of the scheme is evaluated, by the use of lecturer interviews, attitudinal questionnaires completed by the participating students, and the assessments and feedback produced. Conclusions drawn are that the introduction of peer assessment seems to improve students’ Critical Faculties and gives them a greater ownership of the whole assessment process.

Teaching Patriotism: Love and Critical Freedom
University of Chicago Law Review, 2011Co-Authors: Martha Craven NussbaumAbstract:Teaching patriotism involves many dangers: the danger that inappropriate values will thereby be taught; the danger that students will be dragooned into patriotic performances in violation of their conscience; and the danger that such teaching will emphasize solidarity and blunt the Critical Faculties. On the other hand, there are reasons to think that we need patriotic emotion to motivate projects that require transcending self-interest.After discussing and illustrating the dangers and making a case for patriotism's value, I shall give examples from both U. S. and Indian history of politicians who were able to construct a form of patriotism that steered successfully through the narrow strait: Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., Mohandas Gandhi, and Jawaharlal Nehru. After examining key examples of their achievements, I shall ask how a patriotism of their type might be taught in schools, and how considerations of both content and pedagogy are relevant to its success.

Communication in social insects and how it is shaped by individual experience
Animal Behaviour, 2019Co-Authors: Christoph Gruter, Tomer J CzaczkesAbstract:Communication is the foundation of all social systems, and learning is perhaps the most important cognitive tool. But how do these two Critical Faculties interact? With social insects being some of the best learners of the invertebrate world, and indisputably the most communicative, we examine the role of learning and experience in social insect communication. Learning plays a major role for both senders and receivers. A sender's experience can modulate what information is available for communication, whether communication is effective and whether individuals are motivated to communicate. Signalling about a resource is often modulated relative to the value of that resource and relative to the value of sharing information about it. The receiver's experience and knowledge can affect which parts of a signal's information content it attends to, how this information is acted on and, indeed, whether it attends to communication at all. Ultimately, while innate responses form the basis of social insect communication, learning is often a Critical modulator of communication processes.
