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!) I would just reinforce the importance of going back to check their work as much as possible. Relate it to writing. Whenever authors write, they are never satisfied with their work the first time. It is important to go back to revise and edit their writing. Maybe this metaphor will help students understand the importance. |
