Chapter #4
Learning Outcome:
Question #3
Demonstrate how teachers connect educational standards to
lesson planning.
For all
grade levels there are educational standards in lesson planning. National,
state, and local curriculum works help define what academic content teachers
must present to students. Therefore, all lesson plans are evaluated and to
standards. Also, the internet is a great source of resources for teachers who
can conduct research for lesson plans. Move over, when the internet is used for
a lesson plan it is easier because all the materials you need are there and any
officials can see the lesson too.

1. Do you consider yourself to be skillful at taking
multiple-choice test? What are the strengths and shortcomings of this form of
assessment for students?
Yes and
no. Yes because if I know the material it is very easy to take multiply choice.
Also I might have time to study the night before and just “remember” the
material versus actually learning it. So during the test you just look for the
right answer then forget the material.
No because if i don’t know the material I just guess. At the
end whether I just remembered it or guessed I still don’t know the material,
for the most part.
I think students need or should take tests that required
them to think, critical thinking questions. The student has to think and write
about showing that the material is understood by them.
2. What skills and talents might be best evaluated by paper
and pencil tests?
Skills
and talents are best tested by paper and pencil tests that are critical
thinking and applying concepts and ideas of the material. Therefore the student
ahs to think and answer to the best of their ability, which then the educator
would know if the material has been understood.
3. What kinds of performance-based assessments did you
engage in as a student?
Due to
technology coming up so fast and students learning and using it every day,
performance-based assessment should be used. An example would be for papers or
presentation in class. Students can use word processor, PowerPoint, and other
programs. Also, work completed by students can be done using digital
portfolios.

ReplyDeleteThe idea of assessments is very critical, especially in today's culture of standardized testing. Any way you look at it, there needs to be a fair amount of feedback to students to help them know what they've learned. The opportunities to create assessment activities to suit the objective and instruction should be reflective of student and teacher needs, in addition to the relevancy factor!
