This is the process operating when the tutor explains the assignment. • Depending on student's previous experiences and expectations, their perceptual filters will interfere with the message that they receive. • Both the tutor's verbal and non-verbal communication – in particular, aspects of paralanguage such as emphasis – will communicate which bits of the instructions are most important. Verbal communication varies in its accessibility for students, as they may have different levels of understanding of the instructions (especially if English is not their first language). Non-verbal language may support or contradict verbal messages.
Some student profiles created by faculty members contain information that could be called into question because of biases and stereotyping. Conclusion This report provides a descriptive framework of the Kelsey Elementary School. At first glance, the systems, faculty, and personal that are in place seem to function well. Further observation reveals that although there are good communication methods in place, there is room for improvement. There are several factors that lead to a breakdown in communications but there are many tools and exercises that can aide in the improvement of communication between staff members, teachers and students, administrators and faculty, and all others associated with Kelsey
It is concerned with the soundness, trustworthiness or legitimacy of the claims or inference that are made on the basis of obtained scores. As teacher we must understand that the assessment we are actually assessing are on clear procedures, consistent and unbiased. Also that I interprete children's work and understand their work correctly, fairly and reasonably.During the marking process there were many incidents where validity could be noticed. A good example would be that I didn't have a reasonable range of the English content knowledge which therefore reduce my chance of assessing the recount to the best of my abilities. As teacher we can't asses everything so we must make sure that what we so assess is
1. Explain the purpose of the following types of assessment in learning and development • Initial Assessment • Formative Assessment • Summative Assessment Formative Assessment Initial assessment provides the information needed to plan an individual’s learning and improve their chances of learning effectively. Without it, there are only assumptions. It’s always possible to make some predictions about learners from an application form or selection test, but it’s an insecure basis for planning. Learners themselves bring assumptions about learning based on the past, and some of these may get in the way of looking ahead to a new way of learning.
As it says in Item A, a subculture is a group of pupils who share similar values and attitudes. Some subcultures are pro-school, while some are anti-school. An unstructured interview is when the interviewer has freedom to vary the questions they ask. There are a number of strengths and weaknesses of using unstructured interviews to interview children, and they will be examined below. Unstructured interviews allow the interviewer to build rapport with the pupils, unlike questionnaires where there is no chance to build rapport because the researcher has limited contact with the pupils.
Retaining the knowledge of the number of rules applied to maths is a great strain on the learner. Another form of intelligent learning is achieved through formative assessment. The importance of different kinds of knowledge (schemas) which the teacher applies to the lesson allowing particular plans for differentiation of pupil knowledge and ability to help the children reach their own goals. On reading Liebeck he states that maths is a an abstract subject, you cannot understand two until you have
* How can the structure of expressions, equations, or inequalities be used to determine a solution strategy? * How can quadratic and exponential expressions be rearranged to make it easier to indentify attributes of the expression? Possible Student Outcomes The following list provides outcomes that describe the knowledge and skills that students should understand and be able to do when the unit is completed. The outcomes are often components of more broadly-worded standards and sometimes address knowledge and skills related to the standards. The lists of outcomes are not exhaustive, and the outcomes should not supplant the standards themselves.
Objective tests are used to assess individuals usually in a self-report. This means that individuals may change their answers to be perceived under a certain light. For example, an individual taking a test for a school admission will want to be perceived as hard working and dedicated and may answer differently to be perceived that way. The MMPI has validity scales which, reflect whether the answers given reflect the individuals true personality. This however, is not guaranteed.
For instance, how will a standardized test determine the creativity of the child? How will a certain score prove that the child is good at one subject and bad in another? Just on the basis of a score, is it logical to assume that a student is not capable of shining in a certain course? Often, a fixed syllabus is circulated in schools and colleges and the teachers stick to a monotonous method of just completing the syllabus and teaching only the required topics. This can definitely hinder an in-depth learning of the subject by the students.Standardized testing are a type of exam that assess the student's capability on the basis of multiple choice questions.
Based on the recent ubiquity of standardized tests, it is clear that schools have promoted the former more than the latter. This push for conformity has been detrimental to students, who have suffered because of the lack of outlets to develop and express their individuality and creativity. Conformity in and of itself is not harmful to students. In fact, if applied correctly, it can be very helpful to their development. Some conformity — things like basic rules and an organized classroom — is helpful to students because it creates an environment conducive to
