  • The solution, he said, hinged on work faculty members did to “deconstruct” traditional courses. They mapped the learning outcomes from those three-credit offerings to competencies in the new online programs.

Real teaching means real learning: How I abolished grading. - 1 views

realteachingmeansreallearning.blogspot.ca/...how-i-abolished-grading.html assessment grading homework formative summative math Calculus
shared by Blair Peterson on 30 May 13 - No Cached
  • One day I realized that I wasn't weeding out the weak mathematicians, but instead weeding out the weak test writers.
  • Before you continue, I want to remind you that this does not mean I have not assessed, but not one student in my Calculus classes has received a grade at this point.  (Other than the report card mark which I must give).
  • First, I went through my outcomes, given to me by the government, and identified what the "Rocks" are.  These rocks are the outcomes which I expect the students to master above all other outcomes. 
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Next, these outcomes were rewritten in student friendly language and then provided to the students on the first day of class.
  • here were no "trick questions", just simple questions that would assess "Can the child demonstrate this outcome, on their own, as a basic level of understanding?"
  • I would write comments only on them, and either a "Outcome demonstrated" or "Need to learn" for each outcome assessed (Not on the overall assessment). 
  • ext, if the child received a "Need to learn" he/she must do the following: 1) Demonstrate the understanding of the questions given at a later date.  This usually occurs after a lunch session, a quick conversation, or multiple conversations with the child. 2) A conversation explaining how he/she made the mistake earlier and how their understanding has changed now 3) Write another assessment on the outcomes.
  • After 5-7 outcomes have been taught, then each child is assigned an open ended project. 
  • I simply take the number of outcomes and projects completed (at the end of the course) and divide by the total number of outcomes and projects.  This is not the best strategy, but it seems to work for me at this moment.  I do weigh projects twice as much. (I have 20 outcomes, and 5 projects, so the total is (20+5x2=30)

shared by Blair Peterson on 14 Aug 13 - No Cached
  • The findings of this study showed that while both types of questions improved performance on the final exam, students who answered multiple-choice questions had better recall of both old and new items, showing a broader learning process (Wray, 2012).  It is believed that multiple choice triggers a specific cognitive process of memory retrieval that enhances learning based on the contemplation of plausible answers, rather than a simple recognition process (Wray, 2012).
