Challenge: How seriously students will take the feedback and task, knowing that the feedback is just for reflection purposes. ]]> 2018-11-21 02:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306590659 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306590998 Use of existing lesson resources - as a pre-lesson resource. This allows us to monitor students' knowledge of pre-requisite knowledge and give feedback

Challenge: SLS may not have all topics that we need.

However, when marks have been removed, how can we effectively assess that students are learning?]]> 2018-11-21 02:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306591526 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306591852 How can we improve on the structure that we can use to provide feedback? How much feedback needs to be given for it to be considered quality feedback for the student? After reading all individual reflections, is overall feedback for the class enough?

Possible solution: 
Students can do a mini reflection at the end of the task for them to assess their own understanding of the chapter. 
Guiding questions could be given to help students with their reflections. 

Challenge:
Does the personalised feedback significantly increase the marking load of the teacher?]]> 2018-11-21 02:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306591852 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306592491 E.g. Students can provide feedback for a solution to the question provided by the teacher (whether it is right or not) and justify can also help the teacher to assess the understanding of the student and may be more effective than getting the student to do 5 questions to practise the same concept. ]]> 2018-11-21 03:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306592491 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595752 Breaking long papers to smaller quizzes with more feedback to boost students’ confidence (and hence, interest) for the subject. ]]> 2018-11-21 03:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595752 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595755 How I hope SBA will look like? 

I hope that the feedback given to students will be more individualised and catered to their needs. (Journal) 

Differentiated learning must also be practised - not all students are equipped to tackle a standardised test at a higher level. (Differentiated NWA) 

I hope that more modelling tasks can be done in lieu of written paper as this allow students to apply math in real-world contexts. ]]> 2018-11-21 03:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595755 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595769 Non-graded:

Also, only time will tell how students will react to the proposed changes but one thing for sure, this isn't just about the removal of assessment but an overall revamp to how / type / quantity of the non-weighted assessment that would be given. Room and time would need to be given for all to experiment and learn from one another.]]> 2018-11-21 03:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595803 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595812 Students get to do more investigative/explorative activities to further understand the concepts that they are learning for that topic.]]> 2018-11-21 03:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595812 https://padlet.com/ng_geck_woon/Math/wish/306595857 How I hope SBA will look like?More focus on assessment of learning incorporate along the way. Generally, formative assessment will be similar to current practices but frequency will be reduced.
