Case: Using Formative Assessment Anita wants to be able to help her children with their homework. They have recently installed an Internet enabled PC at home. Anita signed up for a beginners' course at a ‘Learning Shop' six weeks ago and has attended on a drop-in basis for about three hours each week. Anita is highly motivated, but she is struggling to follow the instructional workbooks used by the Learning Shop. She finds there is too much reading and that she quickly forgets what she did in the previous chapter. Last time she came to the Learning Shop she only stayed for half-an-hour. She seems to be losing heart. Ahmed is a tutor at the Learning Shop. He is currently studying for a teaching qualification and has been learning about how formative assessment can motivate learners and help tutors to improve and adapt their teaching to meet learners' needs. He wants to use formative assessment to help Anita. How do you think he should do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Ahmed should start with one formative assessment from the Learning Shop for implementation. Start small and then incorporate more as he gets more comfortable with the classroom and the different types of formative assessments from the Learning Shop. |
