Self-assessment of written exercises in STEM courses

Academic presentation at the MNT-conference 16. - 17.03.23, Stavanger, Norway. https://realfagsrekruttering.no/konferanser/mnt-konferansen-2023#om-konferansen.Students of physics in Norway typically spend a lot of time on mandatory problemsolving exercises that they must get a passing grade on to be allowed to take the exam. This is often a primarily summative assessment, which can limit the learning potential. In this contribution, we present an intervention in which traditional mandatory assignments are modified to put more emphasis on assessment as a part of the learning process, by incorporating self-assessment and reflections about learning on the part of the students. The intervention was carried out in three basic subjects in physics at UiT in 2021 and 2022. We will present results from the student evaluation of the intervention in two of the courses in 2022, discuss advantages and drawbacks and offer insights on future improvements

Sex-specific height-correction of weight in a population with ethnic groups that differ in stature - the SAMINOR 1 Survey: a cross-sectional study

Source at https://socialmedicinsktidskrift.se/index.php/smt/article/view/2609Background: Body mass index (BMI, weight/height2) is a common proxy for body fatness, but it is negatively correlated with height. In Norway, the ethnic Sami people have had higher BMI and lower height than their non-Sami peers. This article aimed to examine if previous findings of higher obesity measures in Sami compared to non-Sami persist when applying an adequately height-corrected weight index. Methods: We estimated a sex-specific height-corrected weight index—the Benn index—that is, weight/heightp where p is estimated from log(weight)-log(height) regression. We used data on 15 717 men and women aged 30 and 36–79 years who participated in the SAMINOR 1 Survey (2003–2004). Correlations between height and weight and the indices BMI and Benn index were calculated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results: BMI and height had a modest, negative correlation. Analyses were stratified by sex due to a statistically significant interaction (sex * log(height), p Conclusion: Previous findings of higher obesity measures in Sami than in non-Sami may be biased. Future studies should take into account the marked height differences between these groups when comparing obesity indices
