Case: Extrinsic factors impacting student performance
A Social Studies teacher in a suburban middle school notices a student who participates in class room discussions frequently, answers verbal high- and low-level questions regarding the content accurately, and performs well on classroom activities consistently performs poorly on major tests, especially the quarterly district benchmark exams. When observing the student during actual testing, she notes that the student spends a large amount of time staring off into space, and scrambles to answer most of the questions in the last few minutes of the testing time frame. The student has no identified attention disorder, but the teacher feels that the student's benchmark scores are not an accurate depiction of the student's actual abilities. How should the teacher address the discrepancy between scores and classroom performance?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Another solution would be to work with the student to develop testing strategies that he/she can complete on their own. Such as taking the allotted time for testing and dividing out the number of questions to get a ratio of how quickly he/she needs to answer questions. He/she than can develop their own schedule for the exam to take breaks once a certain number of questions have been answered. |
