Case: Multiple-choice test
One year Nancy taught a young football star named Len. Len did not pass the first quarter of chemistry and was in danger of failing the second quarter. At this time, Nancy was using the multiple-choice "pullout tests" that accompanied the textbook to assess her students' understanding of chemical concepts. However, during the second quarter, she decided that too many of her students were failing her class and showing a lack of motivation toward learning the concepts. She decided that her students needed an opportunity to view and appreciate chemistry as a lifelong learning experience, and she began to think that maybe her teaching strategies did not match the way her students were assessed. She wanted to make chemistry enjoyable for her students, and at the same time she wanted them to understand the basic concepts.
What should Nancy do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Nancy could find ways that the students can apply the materials in their own lives. Chemistry was one of the hardest classes I took in high school, and it wasn't because I wasn't interested. Often, it was because I didn't know how to translate the information I had been taught into the assessments I was given. If it weren't for the labs in the class, I probably would have been struggling as well. The labs usually helped me to retain the information. When my individual interests were being stimulated, I became more successful. |
