Evaluations show the instructor how much students learned.Questioning students to aware and engaged.
CATS benefit the instructor by providing an idea about the depth of knowledge the class has already attained on the subject matter, and depending on the way CATS are posed, may also provide the instructor with an indicator about the best ways the students learn, help them reengage and focus, and determine if their understanding is enhanced at the end of the period of instrution.
Very helpful information this course gives you all the tools you need to keep a well-balanced classroom
Making sure that students understand what you are trying to convey is important.
When assessing students you are looking to measure the level of comprehension they have gained through your teaching. No matter the style the assessment will show how effective the information was distributed to the student.
Questions are an important way to dig deeper into making sure the students are understanding what is going on and also a way for you to check yourself to make sure you are delivering the information clearly.
Evaluations and assessments are good checks to measure student learning AND content delivery by the instructor.
The CAT assessment is a great idea, and will let me know what the students starting point is.
I will use CAT assignments to try to organize thought processes amongst others.
This will help me to better understand the needs of the students and how well they are understanding the information that I am teaching.
group assessment are a good measuring stick of how students can work together & are comprehending the content during the class lesson
I plan to use the assessment process for ethical reasoning skills.
As an instructor, I need to set high expectations for professional communication that reflect the standards of the field my students are preparing to enter. If students are unable to write clearly and accurately, whether it’s a work order, technical bulletin, or internal memo, their professional success will be limited. The same applies to oral communication. The ability to express oneself clearly and appropriately is vital for career advancement.
i have learned that by using anonymous quizzes and questioners to gauge what the students have learned and need more attention and reinforcement
The CAT assessments - minute paper, knowledge probe, process analysis and puncuated lectures - good stuff.
Having students reflect on what they learned through group work seems helpful. I had groups that didn't want any groups work in their class and struggled with identifying any positives.
Questioning really stood out to me as a helpful tool for getting students to think on a deeper level
It is critical to use the correct assessment that matches the cognitive objectives. Too often, instructors are not mindful that there is not a one-size-fits-all for students.
Summative evaluations show the instructor a chance to evaluate how much has been learned in the classroom.
Its very important that our students get the point and when they dont we need to figure out how to get the point across better.
