Case: Students who struggle on test
During instruction and formative assessments, students seem to understand the content that I am teaching. They answer questions correctly, they complete work correctly and work well with their group members. However, when test time comes around, a great deal of students do not perform as well. I sometimes believe they have test anxiety. Some of the ones who score poorly on the test are ones who scored well on formative assessments. Any advice?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Would you consider differentiating the assessment format? Students could possibly complete projects or different types of assessments to express their knowledge versus traditional tests. If you give these tests to prepare them for standardized assessments, try having them break down sample questions to get used to the wording or to look for key words and clues in the answers. |

Comments: Though this solution may work short term students need to be able to have the skills necessary to take tests and ridding your classroom of them all together will not help them. |

Comments: I do not think this is a good solution to test anxiety. Changing the assessment from a test to a project will help a student show their understanding in a less stressful way, but I believe eliminating test will only make the mandatory test more stressful in the long run. I think we need to find ways to help our students breakdown and understand test better. |
