Classroom Assessment Techniques
Empty Outlines
This classroom assessment technique is quite simply an empty outline. I will provide the students with a statistical analysis problem and an empty outline with blank spaces to fill in on the procedures taken and results gathered. The purpose of this assessment technique is to garner information on student’s understanding of procedures and results discussed in previous class time.
Content, Form, and Function
This assessment technique is similar to “Empty Outlines.” It asks “What, How, and Why” of a procedure. The student’s understanding will be assessed in both statistics and entomology with this technique. For statistics, the student will be presented with an example of data, test applied, results gathered, and conclusions drawn. They will then be asked “What, How, and Why.” What data is being analyzed? How is this type of data analyzed? Why is the test performed appropriate/inappropriate for this data? For entomology, the students will be presented with an insect of extreme body type. The students will be asked “What, Why, and How.” What environment will you find this insect in? How do you come to that conclusion? Why would this body plan be appropriate for that environment?
Approximate Analogies
This is a very simply assessment but it reveals much about a student’s understanding. The student will be given the first portion of an analogy and will be required to finish it.
Problem Recognition Techniques
As the title states, for this assessment, student will be given an incorrectly applied statistical test and will be required to identify the problem, explain why it is inappropriate, and conduct the correct test. Similarly, for entomology, a student will be presented with an insect and a collection site. The student will be required to explain why that collection is not correct and how they came to that conclusion.
