Case: Are Pop Quizzes Punishment?
Every time you ask your students a question during class, they just look at you as if
you are talking about something they've never heard of before, even though you discussed that very
topic in class last week. This is so frustrating for you that you are tempted to start giving pop quizzes
just to punish the students for not paying attention. Is this the right method to use? Are pop quizzes considered punishment? What other method might you suggest for teachers who struggle with this issue?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Pop quizzes aren't necessarily a punishment but a way of reflecting what has been taught and getting a clear understanding if your students retained the information well. As a teacher it helps you to determine whether or not you should continue with the lesson by reviewing or if you should move on to the next lesson because everyone in the class is proficient. If explained to the students this way, maybe there wouldn't be many hard feelings when the words "Pop Quiz" are mentioned. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. I think explaining the purpose of the pop quizzes to the students is a great solution to this. |

Comments: I think this is the best solution because it explains that a pop quiz may not necessarily be a punishment and also does NOT suggest rewards. Rewards are not always the best option made available to students because it makes them believe that they should be rewarded for things that is already expected of them. |

Comments: I agree I think pop quizzes are sometimes necessary to understand what students are struggling with & what they have mastered. |
