Case: Correct or Incorrect Question
Mr. McKimm is teaching a unit on quadratic equations. He writes an equation and its solution on the blackboard and asks the class to vote on whether the solution is correct or incorrect. He chooses one student to explain why he or she thinks the solution is correct and one to explain why he or she thinks the solution is incorrect. After hearing both sides, the students vote again. Mr. McKimm makes a mental note of how many students appear to understand the problem. Does this illustrate an assessment being used for instructional feedback or for formative scores?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. McKimm is conducting a type of instructional feedback assessment. Because he is allowing students to vote, he is mentally taking note of who is voting for which problem. Mr. McKimm should then take this information and create groups to further understand quadratic equations based on what he sees. Because he is letting students explain their thinking, he is allowing them to explain to the class, as he would if teaching, to allow students to formulate their own thought process. Mr. McKimm could also create a formative assessment in which two problems are given, one is correct, one is not, and allow students to show the mistakes made if any in both. This would give more of a formative data score. |
