Case: Online Assessments
Fourth grade in our county is taking their standardized test on the computer for the first time. In order to give them practice with this format, I give them their weekly tests online. Thy are not taking it seriously, however. With the online format, they do not feel the need to go back and review answers like they did when they had a scantron and a booklet. I have implemented choice boards where if they score a passing percentage, they are able to pick a reward. I know it is the format because if they fail, I print out the text and have them take it with pencil and paper before they see their score to compare. On average, 65% of the students who fail online pass when retaken with pencil and paper.
I am hoping they will take it more seriously when it comes to the standardized test, but I don't want to rest on assumptions. How can I get them to go back and check their work?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Perhaps a tangible reward will motivate your students. For example, tell them that is they pass the test, you will give them a few extra minutes to go to an educational website of their choice, or extra library time. Believe it or not, that works well for my middle school students who have to take all assessments online. |
