These have used students’ perceptions, stakeholders’ opinions, students’ assessments, and comparison of measures of students’ attitudes. While these studies contribute to arguments for and against using intensive mode, curriculum designers require recommendations based on how students’ experiences of learning with intensive mode teaching can be optimised. Wlodkowski and Ginsberg (2010) used motivation as the framework for US studies of intensive mode teaching with nontraditional and adult students. In this study we explored students’ experiences of capability development in an intensive mode optional undergraduate engineering unit on critical theory of technological development, as the first phase of a larger project in which several units will be studied.

The results indicate a statistically significant improvement in the quality of student judgment in relation to the grammatical, structural and presentation components of written communication. In addition, the quality of their written communication shows a statistically significant improvement in all six components specified by the assessment grid. While there is insufficient evidence to draw any specific conclusions, our observations and student comments suggest that the teaching initiative contributed to this improvement.

Evidencing student achievement of standards is a growing imperative worldwide. Key stakeholders (... more Evidencing student achievement of standards is a growing imperative worldwide. Key stakeholders (including current and prospective students, government, regulators and employers) want confidence that threshold learning standards in an accounting degree have been assured. Australia’s new higher education regulatory environment requires that student achievements are benchmarked against intended programme learning outcomes, guided by published disciplinary standards and a national qualifications framework, and against other higher education providers. Here, we report on a process involving academics from 10 universities, aided by professional practitioners, to establish and equip assessors to reliably assure threshold learning standards in accounting that are nationally comparable. Importantly, we are learning more about how standards are interpreted. Based on the premise that meaning is constructed from tacit experiences, social interactions and intentional reflection on explicit information, we report outcomes of three multi-part calibration interventions, situated around judgements of the quality of the written communication skills exhibited in student work and their related assessment tasks. Qualitative data from 30 participants in the calibration process suggest that they perceive that the process both assists them both in developing a shared understanding of the accounting threshold learning standards and in the redesign of assessment tasks to more validly assess the threshold learning standards.
