  • COE/EPSY Subject Pool

    The Bureau of Educational Research is no longer overseeing the College of Education Subject Pool. Educational Psychology was asked to assume oversight of the subject pool.  We have developed a website in order to provide students in the COE with a centralized location for finding studies in which to participate for course credit/extra credit. In addition, we have reached a reciprocal agreement with Linguistics, whereby students in several of their classes can receive credit for participating in COE studies and COE students can receive credit for participating in LING studies. 

    The website for the COE subject pool, with information for both students and faculty is: http://education.illinois.edu/edpsy/subject-pool

    If you require study participation or offer extra credit for participation, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the website and include the URL in your syllabi. A mechanism for students to document their participation to instructors is provided on the website, but of course, you can ask your students to document their participation to you in any way you prefer.

    If you are PI on a study that requires participants, please send Julie Kellogg the information described on the website.

    If you have any questions, please contact Kiel Christianson <kiel@illinois.edu>.

  • Using Gramsci to understand the Arab uprisings

  • Center for Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment holding Fourth International Conference

    September 27-29, 2017 in Chicago

    Heightened community unrest sparked by the death of unarmed citizens; disproportionate inequities in education, poverty, health care, and rates of incarceration; and an intensely divisive U.S. presidential election require even more vigilant attention from our global CREA community. It is critically important that we focus on the generation, analysis, and usage of substantive evidence “that matters” in the evaluations and assessments we undertake. To address the issues our communities face, we are compelled and responsible to raise questions about what is being done to correct inequities and aggressively translate this evidence into action that has meaningful impact on our collective future. 

    Therefore the Evidence Matters: Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment Translating to Action and Impact in Challenging Times   will focus on the following areas:

    - Program evaluation, measurement and assessment as sources of evidence

    - Challenging the status quo regarding whose evidence matters. Cultural responsiveness as foundational to more equitable public policy

    - Moving from evidence generation to advocacy and action. Policies and practices of influence and consequence in the quest for social justice

    - Ethical challenges in complex areas of inquiry; whose justice is advanced?
