5.3 Student assessment and teacher self-assessment in cultural heritage lessons: Rubrics In this section, you will find out how to use a rubric to assess your students’ work and how to evaluate your own teaching. A rubric is a tool that provides focused feedback on works in progress and allows one to evaluate, rather than grade, learning outcomes. It is a document or table that describes different levels of quality and lists what is expected from participants throughout the learning process. Rubrics can be used to evaluate student work but also as part of a formative, student-centred process. They have the potential to help students develop understanding of the topic at hand and different kinds of 21st-century skills. Students and teachers can build their own rubrics, by using different online tools such as Rubistar, among others.Some criteria for using a rubric to assess skills in students in relation to a cultural heritage lesson can be, for instance:Ability to perform a basic search (identify keywords and collect information about cultural heritage)Ability to use digital tools (use a variety of techniques)Competence to work in a team (assume shared responsibilities, respect different viewpoints)Competence to communicate (listen actively and express ideas)Development of critical thinking (reflecting on learning; justifying arguments)Character (respect and maintaining of positive values)

"The aim is for everyone to have the key set of competences needed for personal development, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment. These competences include literacy, numeracy, science and foreign languages, as well as more transversal skills such as digital competence, entrepreneurship competence, critical thinking, problem-solving and learning to learn.” (European Commission)

The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments:help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need workhelp faculty recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediatelyFormative assessments are generally low stakes, which means that they have low or no point value. Examples of formative assessments include asking students to:draw a concept map in class to represent their understanding of a topicsubmit one or two sentences identifying the main point of a lectureturn in a research proposal for early feedbackSummative assessmentThe goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments include:a midterm exama final projecta papera senior recitalInformation from summative assessments can be used formatively when students or faculty use it to guide their efforts and activities in subsequent courses.

Assessment is the final part of the learning process, although it should not be understood as a final evaluation but as a way to improve the whole process. Assessment is important, since it is the tool that teachers and students use to judge whether educational needs have been met. There are two main categories of assessment:

Summative assessment is outcome-focused, rather than process-focused. This type of assessment provides the means for finding out whether your project has reached its goals/objectives/outcomes.

Formative assessment assessment is a technique that allows the evaluation of student learning during an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. According to the Carnegie Mellon University’s definition, the goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning and to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by teachers to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning.

This module explores various forms of assessing learning scenarios using cultural heritage, such as peer reviews or peer-to-peer activities (P2P), rubrics and other types of formative assessments that teachers can integrate in their daily practice. Participants also get an introduction to the assessment of 21st-century skills in students. Moreover, this module contains the final mandatory course activity (a peer review) which is needed for participants to finish the course and obtain the certificate.

Therefore, during this module, you will:

1. Receive an introduction to general assessment approaches

2. Understand possible ways to assess 21st-century skills in your students

3. Submit your Europeana learning scenario

4. Review the work of your course peers

Benefits of interdisciplinary teaching and learningInterdisciplinary education allows students “to learn by making connections between ideas and concepts across different disciplinary boundaries” (Open Edu, 2015).One of the main benefits of interdisciplinary learning is that students tend to have a better understanding of the connection between what they are learning and the real world. It can also enhance confidence in subjects that, when taught separately, may cause anxiety in students. For example: teaching History along with Art may cause students who tend to not enjoy History lessons to think of historical events from the Art History perspective. These are just the first benefits, interdisciplinary classes also improve collaboration skills in students and carry a lot of professional development value for teachers and staff. What is more, it encourages students to learn in a playful manner.

There are four levels of inquiry-based learning:

1. Confirmation inquiry: At this level, the teacher uses inquiry as confirmation for already acquired knowledge. For example, the teacher gives a lesson about a topic, then prepares an activity by posing questions, and guides students through it to an answer that is already known by them.

2. Structured inquiry: The teacher provides the scientific question and guidelines, or structure to the investigation. Students are required to explain their findings.

3. Guided inquiry: The teacher only provides the research question. Students are responsible for designing their own experiments and validating data at the end of the process.

4. Open inquiry: Students formulate their own research questions, design the experiment and present their findings

If you are wondering about the benefits and advantages of using Europeana in your lessons, keep reading!

Teachers and educators usually face several difficulties when planning their lessons. On the one hand, they have to find a way to “liven up” their classes with new and exciting resources. On the other hand, it is vital to make sure the content that they use in the classroom can be legally used. The Europeana Collections is the best solution to all the aforementioned obstacles. This platform is a digital cultural open library which allows you to access resources of museums all around Europe. This platform not only provides a safe environment for finding resources, but it gives you the opportunity to find items that can be reused straight away in your lessons, and that have been previously curated by professional experts to assure the quality and the authenticity of the resource.

2.1 Introduction to Europeana Collections

# data[].attributes.body
Europeana Collections is Europe’s digital library, museum, gallery and archive that provides online access to a vast store of cultural heritage material from across Europe. Through this multilingual platform, individuals and professionals can discover, research, share and enjoy Europe’s wealth of digital cultural resources such as books, photos, paintings, television broadcasts and 3D objects.

Europeana Collections provides access to over 58 million digitised artefacts with sophisticated search and filter tools to help you find what you are looking for. The resources that can be found in Europeana include:

Texts: books, letters, archival papers, dissertations, poems, newspaper articles, facsimiles, manuscripts and music scores

Images: paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, pictures of museum objects, maps, graphic designs, plans and musical notation

Video: films, news broadcasts and television programmes

Sound: music and spoken word from cylinders, tapes, discs and radio broadcasts

3D: virtual 3D representations of objects, architecture or places

At first glance, 58 million artefacts seems like a lot to browse through. That is why Europeana has worked together with curators to create the Thematic Collections, which include 2 million selected artefacts sewn around one topic. The Thematic Collections include topics such as:

• 1914-1918 | • Music
• Arts | • Natural history
• Fashion | • Photography
• Maps and Geography | • Sport
• Migration | • Manuscripts
• Newspapers | • Archaeology

You can read more about the Thematic Collections later in this module.

The Europeana Collections are created in collaboration with cultural heritage institutions around the world and include a refined filter tools option to provide better and more user-friendly search. Before you start browsing, it is useful to remember four questions that will make it easier to find what you are looking for:

Who? When? What? Where?

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout this module, we will focus on the Europeana Collections. The module will present the huge variety of Europeana’s content, themes, media formats and languages and show how these rich and unique resources can support teachers in their teaching. We will also explain how to search for relevant content, navigate copyright information and correctly attribute cultural records. We will highlight Europeana’s curated resources, such as thematic collections, online exhibitions and galleries that will give inspiration to teachers in their daily practices. Finally, participants will explore the next section of the Learning Scenario.

Cultural heritage is a complex system, often based on values and emotions rather than objects. Therefore, it can be broken down into further categories.

Tangible, or physical cultural heritage includes objects, buildings and works of art. These are further divided into movable and immovable cultural heritage. Immovable heritage consists of buildings and monuments, which themselves can contain works of art, such as frescos, carvings, stained glass windows or organs. Movable heritage includes – amongst others – books, documents and clothing.

Intangible cultural heritage consists of non-physical aspects of culture, such as social customs at a particular time in history, social values, spiritual beliefs, etc. Tangible cultural heritage (physical objects) can always be interpreted alongside intangible cultural heritage (political, philosophical, social or spiritual values at a certain point in history). Intangible cultural heritage is more difficult to preserve.

Digital cultural heritage can be defined as embracing “cultural, educational, scientific and administrative resources, as well as technical, legal, medical and other kinds of information created digitally, or converted into digital form from existing analogue resources” (The Charter on the Preservation of Digital Heritage of UNESCO).

Natural heritage is also an important part of a society's heritage, including the countryside and natural environment or natural reserves.
