Now in the 5th year of her program, PhD (ALDS) candidate Tina Beynen has had a busy few months with presentations at:
- STLHE (Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education) Annual Conference (June 7 – 10)
“Reflexivity, assessment literacy, and student success during the transition to university” - LLRC (Language & Literacy Researchers of Canada) (May 14 – 19)
“Red light, green light: Multiple forms of literacies intersecting to impact first-year university student success” - CSSHE (Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education) (May 15 – 17)
“Facilitating the development of students’ assessment literacy during the transition to university”
‘“We’re in university, but we don’t really feel like that…” Transitioning from high school to university during the Covid-19 global pandemic’
A former university admin, Tina has seen many new undergraduates arrive in (and navigate through) their postsecondary studies. She now researches the role of assessment and how a student’s changing understanding of it during the “high school to university” transition may influence both 1st year achievement and later student success.
