He notices that almost all of the students miss a few certain questions. What should he do to ensure that his students fully grasp these concepts? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) He should encourage feedback on this assessment from his students mainly over the questions that the students missed as a whole. Students should be given an opportunity to explain reasons for answering the questions incorrectly, pointing out potentially misleading words, and discussing possible misconceptions. Students should also be encouraged to defend their answers for the questions that the majority of the class missed. Another strategy would be to interview the students individually on how to improve the assessment for future use. The feedback taken from this tool could inform future assessment and instruction. An example of a positive reinforcement to gain assessment feedback would be giving extra points on the assessment with every valid justification for incorrect responses.
