Bridging Differences: Should Teacher Evaluation Depend on Student Test Scores? - 0 views
-
I don't agree that we can't make these correlations between student performances on tests and teacher effectiveness. But I do wonder what would happen to the children. If I am going to make another $5000 a year if my students all move X distance in a year, how much more inclined am I going to be to add lots and lots of homework in my content area to their workload? We might end up like Japan with a very high teenage suicide rate from all the pressure to perform at a young age. Where is the middle ground? Some schools reward grade levels, if all the students in ninth grade do x, everyone who taught them gets y. Makes more sense, but doesn't address the teacher competency test.

This doesn't address the concern that when you learn/recall something incorrectly and aren't aware of it you can have a hard time unlearning the information. The wrong association can be hard to change. I find this all the time with worldview misinformation. For instance, if a student thinks that only 50% of the population in Minnesota is white, or that 25% of the world's population comes from North America, it is hard to change that mind-set even with ongoing sets of discrepant information.

People remember things better, longer, if they are given very challenging tests on the material, tests at which they are bound to fail. In a series of experiments, they showed that if students make an unsuccessful attempt to retrieve information before receiving an answer, they remember the information better than in a control condition in which they simply study the information
