The ecosystem of delivery and assessment is coreliant on the instructor and student invlovement. Instructors must develop delivery methods that enable the learner to obtain the knowledge and skills required to demonstrate the ability to complete their desired task. Assessment techniques are an excdllent way to measure the effectiveness of the process.
Make sure that the information being delivered is a collaborated and amongst multiple faucets vs one person has shown to produce a positive assessment in the information being delivered.
Learning assessments are a great way for instructors to have some feedback in to the studets they have early on in a course.
Learned the importance of assessments. Too often we hear assessment and think it's a written test...like a spelling test you took in grade school. However, this is not the case; there are multiple types of assessments and it is our responsibility to determine the best type/form of assessment for our students.
Very interesting to understand the different types of assessment. I plan to use the many different techniques to assess the learners knowledge gained from the courses I teach.
It is critical to pause and apply the appropriate CATs throughout the course to ensure that comprehension and deep understanding occur throughout instruction.
I've learned the value of assessment to myself as the instructor and to the students. It brings a lot of insight on your teaching styles and the compression of the students.
Use essential that instructors use effective assements in order to show that students are comprehending the subject. There are various forms of assessments that can be used besides tests to help instructors know if students are understanding the material.
I learned quite a bit from the group work section. I'll likely be investigating the Group Process Assesment Technique further for my students when I assign group work. Their point about students not wanting to rate their slacker group mates poorly "even if deserved" is so true!
Minute assessment of the key points of the lecture would be a great indicator of the comprehension of the day. Great idea. I will certainly try.
i learned engaging the students into active learning in a variety of ways based on the students needs and learning styles will increase the chances of positive outcomes.
The analogy of the scissors. Both content and process have equal importance and how when both are used properly they can be very effective.
Assessments are continuous and useful for both instructor and students.
All students even when in the same class will have different levels of of learning, from this you must build off of it and ajust your CAT, and other feedback to them.
The more students are actively learning, the more we keep their interest level
have students conduct a self assesment this will allow the instructor to bridge the gap from what they have learned the most during the course
Pay attention to your students. They are not all in the same place.
CAT activities seem to be an interesting formative assessment approach as well as a gauge for where the students are with content learning without the pressure of a graded exam. They can equally be a good way to measure the effectiveness of the instructor.
This information is beneficial because it all keeps reminding me of the importance of knowing my students. We assume that all students have developed soft skills but in reality not everyone has. Not all students learn these behaviors at home. So, you may have to implement these soft skills into your instruction as well.
I will be implementing the minute paper with my students. In addition, I think it is important to know your students so you can prepare how students will be engaged.
