Case: Pretest Motivation In order to completely assess a standard Mr. Miller feels that he must pre and post test every unit with the same exam. Unfortunately, his students have recently recognized this pattern of pre then post exams and begun to bubble in answers on his pretest answer documents at random. This behavior is preventing Mr. Miller from truly understanding how his students are learning. What should Mr. Miller do to ensure his students are putting forth their best effort on unit preassessments? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Prior to the pretest, Mr. Miller needs to discuss with the class the importance of doing their best on the pretest. He needs to explain that he uses this data to help him determine how he plans the rest of the instructions found in the unit. After discussing the importance, then he needs to discuss the consequences of their performance on the pre-assessment. Students should know if they do well on the pre-test then they will shorten the amount of instructions needed for the unit. When they do poorly on the pre-test then this will require more instructional activities to ensure their understanding. He may even add that those students who score a certain percentage on the pre-test may be exempt for the post test. He definitely has to open their yest to the consequences of their actions. |
