Assessment Ideas<br />
For ongoing student assessment, many teachers use a variety of methods,<br />
including:<br />
Observations of students at work<br />
Student journals<br />
Note taking<br />
Task checklists<br />
Student presentations<br />
Conversations with students<br />
Noting question students ask<br />
Student portfolios<br />
A portfolio of completed worksheets, job sheets and printed copies<br />
of ROBOLAB programs show how the level of student performance<br />
and understanding improve over time. In addition you can ask each<br />
student to keep a journal. Frequent writing not only enhances written<br />
communication skills, it also encourages a means of improving the<br />
discussion in the classroom. Students tend to be more prepared for<br />
discussion and problem solving after having written about a topic.<br />
Writing promotes thinking and thinking is exactly what we want.<br />
Some suggestions for self-assessment questions include:<br />
What did I learn?<br />
How well did I learn it?<br />
How much did I enjoy it?<br />
What will I do next?<br />
How could I apply this in everyday life?
