In indirect instruction, the role of the teacher shifts from lecturer/director to that of facilitator, supporter, and resource person. The teacher arranges the learning environment, provides opportunity for student involvement, and, when appropriate, provides feedback to students while they conduct the inquiry (Martin, 1983). Indirect means that the learner acquires a behaviour indirectly by transforming, or constructing, the stimulus material into meaningful response or behaviour that differs from both (1) the content being used to present the learning and (2) any previous response given by the student -best to use when teaching concepts, abstractions, or patterns -best to use when the learning process is inquiry-based, the result is discovery, and the learning context is a problem. -Student-centred (student is an interactive participant)-teacher is facilitator. -uses all parts of Bloom’s taxonomy including Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation -indirect instruction involves: organizing content, inductive and deductive reasoning, examples and non-examples, student experiences, questions, student’s self-evaluation, and group discussion.
The categories in the cognitive domain are, remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. Under the category of remember, learners are expected to retrieve relevant information from long-term memory. Under the category of understand, learners are expected to meaning from oral, written or graphic information. Under the category of apply, students carry out or use a procedure by using those concepts in creating teaching plans for real life situations. Under the category of analyze, learners break material into parts and determine how the parts relate to one another and the overall structure.
When assessing learning it is important to have an understanding of initial assessment, formative assessment and summative assessment. Initial assessment is about finding out the learner’s needs and particular learning requirements which should be done prior to the programme commencing to see if any support and guidance is required. It also involves ascertaining the learner’s particular learning styles, competence as well as gaining information on the learner’s prior knowledge and misconceptions through diagnostic assessments. It may also be beneficial to find out why the learner wants to take the course. Skills scans can be used to measure the skill level of the learner both vocationally and for employability.
3 Understand techniques and criteria for monitoring the quality of assessment Internally - (Professional discussion to be based on this Essay) 3.1 Evaluate different techniques for sampling evidence of assessment, including use of technology: There are different techniques for sampling the evidence of learners work such as the vertical sampling (identical elements from different assessors and horizontal sampling which means that a specific piece of all units over the course of time is checked very carefully for validity, consistency and so forth,. This would include liaising with and interviewing assessors, reviewing their practical views on specific areas to tutoring to obtain evidence that match up with unit/element criteria, including witness statements; scrutinising their records whether they are paper based or electronically stored. I would also take the opportunity to observe good working practice and if need be consult any witnesses, for example; with regards to my work as an IV at Bradford College I would implement the above techniques for sampling evidence. With respect to this, there are a number of factors to be taken into consideration, such as the type of evidence, i.e., what format it is in, how many learners there are in the current cohort for example and which is then also dependent on the experience of the assessors and whether they are qualified or not to carry out the job effectively and efficiently and adhering to the organisation awarding body strategies, policies and procedures, all within realistic timeframes. I understand that other than the availability of a hard copy of evidence if required by the IQA staff/team, there is another more modern way of sampling using technology such as Moodle is basically a virtual delivery environment which means that candidate/learners can receive tasks and information so that they can
This assignment should be added to the learners PDP’s. P5 and M3 – require learners to reflect on and explain how the knowledge gained within the classroom has influenced their professional development within placement. Learners should use examples where possible to link their theoretical understanding to practical experience. This M3 criterion could be completed in the middle of the learner’s course of study and then towards the end of the course as this would lead into learners covering D2 which requires learners to
1.1 Explain the function of assessment in learning and development. 1.2 Define the key concepts and principles of assessment. 1.3 Explain the responsibilities of the assessor. 1.4 Identify the regulations and requirements relevant to the assessment in own area of practice. 2.1 Compare the strengths and limitations of a range of assessment methods with reference to the needs of individual learners.

The works cited page should include your interview(s) and any other outside source(s). You also need to use in-text citations whenever you quote or get information from your outside sources. Your handbook provides guidance on how to do this effectively, ethically, and correctly. EXAMPLES Your instructor will help you to distinguish feature articles from other types of articles. You’ll be looking at some feature articles in class, and there are student essay examples in this book.
Social Cognitive * Affective learning processes Self regulated learning tends to be influenced by an individual’s emotions, behaviors, and their cognitive processing (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997). This is a process that will orient the individual in achieving their goals by self generating (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997). Schunk and Zimmerman (1997) stated that the self regulated learning process can also be considered as an academic self regulation process which has been studied over the years throughout different classrooms. The students taking the course learn how to use motivation, cognition, and behavior to improve their learning skills. These students who use motivational beliefs also utilize more self regulation learning skills (Schunk & Zimmerman, 1997).
In this essay, I am going to analyze the two particular types of personal-response assessments, namely self- and peer language assessments by first exploring their nature, then their good points and the problematic issues they have raised. First, it is important to have a clear understanding of what is self- and peer language assessment prior to giving any judgment on the two. Self-assessments are the ones that ‘require students to rate their own language, whether through performance self-assessments, comprehension self-assessments, or observation self-assessments’ (Brown & Hudson, 1998 p.652). As such, the nature of self- assessments is to have students engaged in their learning as well as trigger their own reflection on what they have acquired. Consequently, it is often seen as: A continuous longitudinal process, which activates and integrates the learner’s prior knowledge and reveals
