“…Students of different genders who obtained badges had a different incentive to learn [23], and anonymity and badge-sharing behavior were related to students' cognitive type. The mentality of their willingness to share badges is worth exploring [31]. Even more, Yang, Benazir, and Chen [32] found that leaderboard ranking did not affect learners' English learning outcomes because of their different attitude toward competitions.…”

et al. 2019

A digital badge system with a leaderboard ranking was implemented in an 18-week course offered by a Chinese mainland university during the 2018 Spring Semester. Fifty-four junior college students participated in this study, and the learning activities were based on a combination of online and offline methods using the Moodle system. The purpose of the study was to explore these college students’ perception of digital badges in blended learning classrooms as well as their perception of digital badges in general. Q methodology was used in a single case study of the students’ subjective experience of digital badges, and thirty-six Q-statements were selected after a comprehensive reflection of their views of digital badges. The participants were asked to sort the statements to model their opinion in a modified rank-order procedure. Twenty-two valid sorts were entered for the analysis, and three factors were identified to represent groups of participants with similar views. The results are discussed based on the views of students at a local university in mainland China and the way their demographic characteristics related to their perception of digital badges.

“…Microcertification, or digital badging, is an innovative method that recognizes accomplishments or mastery of skills learned while attending a program of higher education (Educause Learning Initiative, 2019; Hurst, 2015). Teaching these skills or competencies moves beyond traditional classroom teaching strategies to focus on the development of nontechnical skills such as communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and leadership (Ippoliti & Baeza, 2017). Experiences are tailored to focus on a skill or unit of study that aligns with program outcomes and profession-specific skills.…”

Digital Microcertification: An Interprofessional Simulation Experience for Undergraduate Nursing and Medical Laboratory Students

et al. 2022

Badges of merit, or microcertification, have increased in popularity to acknowledge achievement of skills or proficiency in a profession-specific competency and incentivize the learning experience. Outcome criteria are rigorously established by an academic institution to preserve the integrity of the microcredential or badge. On the premise that a microcredential may be favored by future employers, stakeholder involvement in the microcredential process strategically enhances employer awareness. This article describes use of a simulation experience with nursing and medical laboratory science students to demonstrate competencies in interprofessional communication to achieve a digital microcredential.

Exploring the potential of micro-credentials: A systematic literature review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Micro-credentials have recently become a huge research interest, as they play an important role in the social, economic, and higher education sectors. Mindful of growing critique in some circles and recent publications, this paper offers an informed analysis of the potential of micro-credentials to foster post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery across a spectrum of dimensions, including supporting innovation in higher education institutions (HEIs). It reports a systematic literature review analysis of scientific articles published between 2015 and January 2022 on micro-credential research in the field of higher education. Results of a bibliometric and qualitative content analysis from 32 scientific articles provided insights into the potential of micro-credentials to foster post-pandemic recovery through social, economic, and higher education innovations. The findings suggest that the potential can be unfolded through multiple dimensions, like offering more possibilities for individuals to up-skill, re-skill and enter the labor market (economic context), enhancing lifelong learning by developing flexible personal learning pathways (social context), extending services in assessment and recognition of non-formal and informal learning, and introducing stackable credits and previous qualifications (higher education context). Even though the paper analyses scientific articles from the pre-pandemic and pandemic period, this study aim to systematize the results of other researchers and to offer sound insights into how further development in micro-credentials could contribute to the post-pandemic recovery.
