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.
Intelligent learning is adaptable achieving the answer by way of different procedures or routes (building up knowledge) in understanding how to figure out the problem by a variety of schemas. In building up on ones knowledge you empower the learning process by the type of plans of action at ones disposal rather than the rules of formula or rote. On reflection I agree with this view and have used this method within my own understanding and application of mathematical problems. I have found that when I have learnt by rote I have not fully understood how to solve the problem, I have just learnt the formula, thereby not equipping myself by building up on my base knowledge for the solving of the problem. Retaining the knowledge of the number of rules applied to maths is a great strain on the learner.
How to improve decision-making at CanGo The decision making at CanGo needs some improvement. At CMN consulting, we believe in the Intuitive decision making model. Intuitive decision making models Some people consider these decisions to be unlikely coincidences, lucky guesses, or some kind of new-age hocus-pocus. Many universities are still only teaching rational decision making models and suggest that if these are not used, failure results. Some researchers are even studying the logic behind the intuitive decision making models!
My impression of the IAT is that it may be accurate, but it really depends on the person taking it. These test are not accurate just used for research but I still feel as though it’s a better way to administer the test. The test made me think about the way they ordered to images and words and kept rearranging them making you use both your dominant and non-dominant hand to
Running head: LEARNING STYLES Learning Styles Team B Everest University SLS 1105-32M Strategies for Success Judy Starr March 28, 2012 Learning Styles Most people recognize that not everyone learns the same as the next person and many people have a preference of what learning style or technique works best for them. Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Many people have a mix of styles they use for learning. Some people might find they have a more dominant style they use for learning, with far less use of the other styles. Some people might use one style for one situation and another for an entirely different circumstance.
That is to say, being smart is not equal to having and using only one type of intelligence, but having all types of intelligences which include practical, social and emotional intelligences as well as using them effectively. On the other hand, the definition of human intelligence may not be a simple one as it cannot be confined to one’s responses to numerical and verbal tasks in IQ tests. Human intelligence is beyond IQ tests as Phil Yam points out. Human intelligence is the combination of various skills and abilities that would work even in real-life conditions. People’s life success and practical knowledge are also determining factors while measuring their intelligence because they need to possess survival skills when they encounter stressful and challenging situations.
When I started to learn more about my personality type, I was a little surprised with the results. For the most part, the results fit me exactly. What really stands out to me is that people with the ENJT type of personality are born leaders. We know how to inspire people to follow through with their ideas. However, we tend not to know how to effectively read and work with other people’s emotions; which seems like it should be
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.
The counter argument is that a student will learn as per his or her own understanding and a few concepts may be missed. The essay will seek to find the facts and reason why the traditionally adopted system is better or
