Student Learning Assessment
Assessment is the tool that measures how well the students achieve the learner outcomes. What do you want the students to know and be able to do? Did you take into account your students' prior knowledge. Assessment should be seamless and ongoing. Are you evaluating continuously throughout the project? You will want to think of ways to assess the process as well as the product of their learning. Here are some things to remember about assessment and some resources to read about assessment.
The most important element of performance assessment is engagability. To evaluate your project, you need to determine if your students were allowed:
To be engrossed in challenging learning.
To learn by doing.
To be able to use the computer effectively when appropriate.
To communicate their learning.
Hi Annarose - Thanks for your post to the forum.
That frequent feedback is excellent! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
In each of my classes, I require each student to reflect at the end of each class and complete an AOL (assessment of learning). At the end of the term, they are required to submit it.
I definitely agree with you Not all students in computer classes are computer literate. in order for them to gain that knowledge we as instructors should be able to deliver it to them and evaluate their progress individually. Measuring student learning is very important in the success of the course.
Hi Kimberly - Thanks for pointing out the importance of "checking in" type assessments while students are engaged in projects. Susan
