摘要

真实作业的定义是让学生完成与该领域中的个人所从事的活动类似的评估。它们在评估学生成绩的同时,还能帮助学生理解该领域的标准和挑战。在本文中,我们介绍了在北卡罗来纳州一所公立大学的研究生营养政策课程中使用真实作业和课堂活动的情况,并对学生在参与营养政策相关活动时的知识、舒适度和自信心等相关成果进行了评估。该课程包括各种真实的作业和活动,包括小组政策简报项目、致立法者的信、案例研究和营养政策问题的电梯演讲。2020 年秋季,参加该课程两部分学习的学生(72 人)受邀完成了课前和课后调查。35 名学生(49%)完成了这两项调查,并被纳入分析。学生参与营养政策相关活动的舒适度和自信心都有明显提高。学生们似乎还更好地理解了营养政策对他们和/或他们未来的职业有何影响,以及他们和/或他们未来的职业如何在营养政策中发挥作用。真实的作业可能有助于学生为参与营养政策过程做好准备。

Improving Knowledge, Confidence, and Skills Related to Engaging in Nutrition Policy-Related Activities Through Authentic Assignments and Class Activities
Authentic assignments are defined as assessments that allow students to complete activities similar to those in which individuals in the field are engaged. They assess student achievement while helping students understand standards and challenges of the field. In this article, we describe the use of authentic assignments and class activities in a graduate-level nutrition policy course at a public university in North Carolina and evaluate outcomes related to students’ knowledge, comfort, and confidence in engaging in nutrition policy-related activities. The course included a variety of authentic assignments and activities, including a group policy brief project, letter to a legislator, case studies, and an elevator pitch on a nutrition policy issue. During the fall of 2020, students enrolled in two sections of the course ( N = 72) were invited to complete a pre- and post-survey. Thirty-five students (49%) completed both surveys and were included in the analyses. There were significant increases in students’ comfort and confidence for engaging in nutrition policy-related activities. Students also appeared to have gained a better understanding of how they and/or their future profession are impacted by nutrition policy and how they and/or their future profession can play a role in nutrition policy. Authentic assignments may be helpful for preparing students to participate in the nutrition policy process.
