Case: Is Retesting Ethical?
We have started implementing retests at my school. If students make below a 70, they have the option to retest. Many feel as though a lot of retests would be fluffing the grade, for once they master that standard, we eliminate that low grade and only count the higher one. Is this the right mindset?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I often have students make corrections or give them back previously taken assessments to retake. I do not feel that this is unethical because through this process, the students are being exposed to the content more. Through more exposure, they are more likely to retain and understand the concepts. It is not fluffing if they are working to earn the score. |
