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!) Rather than using pop quizzes as a punishment try giving an non-graded review assessment. I currently teach 2nd grade math. Each Friday I give a quick review sheet with 5 question. The students, parent, and teachers are made aware of what the child has mastered and what they are retaining. It helps me revise my lessons and see what I need to further review with my class. They are aware when the "quiz" is going to occur, but they do not know the exact content. |
