- be based on syllabus outcomes 
- be a valid instrument for what they are designed to assess 
- include criteria to clarify for students what aspects of learning are being assessed 
- enable students to demonstrate their learning in a range of task types 
- be reliable, measure what the task intends to assess, and provide accurate information on each student's achievement 
- be free from bias and provide evidence that accurately represents a student's knowledge, understanding and skills 
- enable students and teachers to use feedback effectively and reflect on the learning process 
- be inclusive of and accessible for all students 
- be part of an ongoing process where progress is monitored over time.]]> 2018-03-07 05:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/239002306 Recording Evidence magdalene_yap https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/239002735 Teachers may plan for and gather evidence about student achievement in a variety of ways at key points during, and at the end of, a unit, a term or a semester. This evidence can assist teachers in making professional judgements about a student’s progress and achievement of syllabus outcomes, and provides feedback about how students can improve their learning.

Can be in a variety of forms.
  • needs to be manageable
  • may be formal and/or informal
  • should focus on student progress in relation to outcomes, particular strengths and areas for improvement. 
But ultimately needs to benefit the teaching and learning process.

Teacher feedback about student learning is essential for students and integral to teaching, learning and assessment. Feedback is essential to reflect on how their knowledge, understanding and skills are developing in relation to the syllabus outcomes and content being addressed. It can also be used as a tool to improve their learning.

I posed the question "what words come to mind when you hear the word gravity?" and went around the room allowing each student to respond as my prior knowledge diagnostic test.  I was happy to hear words associated to gravity suggesting to me that it is not a foreign concept. I then had a student read the definition of gravity that I pinned up on the whiteboard. Thinking back to my diagnostic test, I should have made the question more specific to properly diagnose their prior knowledge as the their answers did not give a clear sense of their depth of knowledge about gravity or any misconceptions held. Next time I could allow students to define gravity in their own words in their notebooks and have some read their definitions aloud. This will provide me a better gauge of where they are at in the programme and lesson sequence and my lesson can then be taught at the appropriate cognitive and skill level.]]> 2018-03-14 11:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/241811835 PMI jcforestieri https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366785 Positive:
Sufficient information on the topic was discussed so that students could answer that question correctly in the future.

Negative:
- Breaks and pauses in talking broke the concentration of people listening. Breaks and pauses can cause talking to be boring and less able to encode into a students memory
- No use of assessments when teaching

Interesting aspect
The breaks and pauses in speaking led to accidental repeating of content. Material that is overly repeated becomes boring and students lose concentration

Interesting Question
- How can I improve my delivery of content with less breaks and pauses 

Reflection 
My lesson lacked creative forms of media to communicate content more effectively. I didn't have a powerpoint with animations, diagrams and videos. No assessments during the lesson also didn't let me how the students knowledge of content]]> 2018-03-21 05:20:33 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366785 PMI aric5888 https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366814 Pluses
Timing & flow of lesson
Interaction with students
Variety of learning styles addressed

Minuses
Closing the lesson was anti-climactic/rushed. The students' understanding was probably more advanced than the lesson outcome (which was based around Gravity on Earth, but they were talking about Gravity generally). It didn't flow naturally from the previous activity.
Make outcomes clearer at start of lesson

Interesting
Include a practical demonstration (i.e. kinaesthetic). Could be done as opening rather than asking them to define gravity
Re-phrase lesson closing to relate back to sketches.
Have a quiz to close?

Reflection
There should be more connection between the summative activity and the diagnostic activity that preceded it. This would be assisted by using the same language throughout the lesson, rather than introducing new terminology at the end. The question for the final activity needed to clearly make the link back to the diagrams they'd just drawn.
To avoid this occurring in future I should put myself in the students' place and think about how they will interpret questions.]]> 2018-03-21 05:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366814 PMI christopher_steel https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366845 Positive: 
Introduction covered the outcome and basis for the lesson
Engaging exercise
Closure
Pace of the lesson

Negative:
Introduction could have had a greater diagnostic assessment to better differentiate and at the end I could have included a formal definition for students
Greater assessment for closure

Interesting:
More examples for the survival in an unfavourable environment or for the adaptation exercise. ]]> 2018-03-21 05:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366845 PMI magdalene_yap https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366912 +ve - class was engaged, made the lesson relevant to students, lesson was well structured

-ve - diagnostic test did not test for the right thing, may have rushed or skipped a few things that i intended to do as per lesson plan, did not explain units of measurement as clearly as id hope

interesting - i could have done the investigation task first to see what misconceptions they hold and teach them the right way by demonstration, could have demonstrated or gone through the calculations with the class before letting them complete it themselves.]]> 2018-03-21 05:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/244366912 Numeracy in Science jcforestieri https://padlet.com/hyeeun_chu/iou254ecq299/wish/246769256 Using measurement
