Course 9 Activity 6: Share Your Thoughts
To assess the child on number operations, a teacher frames a question paper at the end of the lesson with multiple choice questions only. Another teacher divides the concept of number operations into smaller sub-units and observes how the child responds to activities designed for each sub-unit. The teacher maintains a file of each child's sample work done in that unit in a portfolio and uses it to write the report looking at their portfolio. Which strategy would you like to adopt in your class and why?

Find opportunities to differentiate learning.....
ReplyDeleteI would adopt second strategy as it will help me find out particularly in which area the child needs more help and to analyse understanding level of individual children on various topics clearly
Deletedivide the concept of number operations into smaller sub-units and observes how the child responds to activities designed for each sub-unit. The teacher maintains a file of each child's sample work done in that unit in a portfolio and uses it to write the report looking at their portfolio.I will choose this one as this gives ample opportunity to understand a child's learning.
ReplyDeleteI would like to adopt second strategy in my class because it helps looking into the progress of every child.
ReplyDeleteI will divide the number of concepts of number operations into smaller sub unit and will observe how the child responses to the activities designed for each sub unit.And will record the performance of each student and later on can coach him or her individually.
ReplyDeleteI opt the second method because this method helps the child to understand the concept well.
ReplyDeleteI would go for the second one but first one can also be used assessment have to be done while teaching.
ReplyDeleteI would like opt the second one..it will help the child to understand the concept well
ReplyDeleteI will divide the number of concepts of operations into smaller sub unit and will observe how the child responds to the activities designed for each sub unit. And will record the performance of each student and then observe at which step is the child having problems. Then I will explain the concept further.
ReplyDeleteI would go with the second approach as it will help in continuous assessment of child and also give many changes to assess the performance of child.
ReplyDeleteI would like to adopt the first one that after every unit few questions in MCQs be asked and children interpret them
ReplyDeleteI would like divide it in sub unit and observe how the child responds and mention it in his/her personal portfolio so that I can also keep a track of that child's progress graph.
ReplyDeletei would like to opt for second method it will help children to understand the concept better and will help teacher to find the clarity of child and where he needs help
ReplyDeleteIt is better to divide the concept of number operations into smaller sub-units and observes how the child responds to activities designed for each sub-unit.
ReplyDeleteThis will give clear data on which child has not understood which particular sub-unit or topic.
Activity based assessment is better option for assessing a child because it is stress free and child will enjoy the process.
ReplyDeleteI will prefer the second one where a teacher maintains a file of each child's sample work done in that unit in a portfolio as it will help the teacher to know the child's weak point. To help the child to clear the concept.
ReplyDeleteI would like to adopt second strategy as we can.track individual progress of a child and accordingly guide the child to clear the concept
ReplyDeleteAs a Pre Primary teacher, I would like to support the second one where the teacher divides the concept of number operations into smaller subunits and observes how the child responds to activities designed for each sub-unit. The teacher maintains a file of each child's sample work done in that unit in a portfolio and uses it to write the report looking at their portfolio. The steps or processes taken are very much appropriate to understand each child's learning as well as gaps in learning. Secondly, different activities as per child's interest and need help him/her to participate and ask doubts in the form of questions. Teachers can make use of multiple assessment techniques and collect the data for each child in portfolios which not only reflects their learning outcomes but also shows their competency skills.
ReplyDeleteThe second strategy is more appropriate as it can test diverse competencies and the different tests can be conceptualised keeping in mind the real life situations too.
ReplyDeleteI
ReplyDeletewill record the performance of each student and then observe at which step is the child having problems. Then I will explain the concept further.
The second strategy is more apt and teacher gauge each child and accordingly modify to strengthen their numeracy operations.
ReplyDeleteI opt to divide the number of concepts of operations into smaller sub unit and will observe how the child responds to the activities designed for each sub unit. And will record the performance of each student and then observe the potential of every child and teach accordingly
ReplyDeleteI will go with the second approch of the assessment which is to divide the chapter in small units and concepts and assess the learner as it will help me to know how much the learner has understood and in which concept he or she is facing problems or need more practice. It will also help the teacher to clear the misconceptions.

ReplyDeleteREPLY
I would go with the second strategy:Reason it will give me correct understanding about the childs concept knowledge and the areas where I need to focus more for childs complete understanding.
ReplyDeleteI will go with the second approach of the Learning Level assessment which is to divide the chapter in small units and concepts and assess the learner as it will help me to know how much the learner has understood and in which concept he or she is facing problems or need more practice. It will help me to understand each child, their context and their response, level of understanding and efforts required to make them learn the concept
ReplyDeleteI would select the second one because it's the obvious choice. India is a diverse country and to acknowledge learner differences one needs to plan strategically and assessments that are diverse and we'll thought of, will give a clearer picture of learning gaps.
ReplyDeleteI like to choose second method because it will give a child more opportunity to try and teacher can assess a child in a better way.
ReplyDeleteI will select the second strategy so that it will help me to know the areas which are not clear to each child and focus on that particular area.
ReplyDeleteI would like to adopt second strategy as I can track the areas which are not clear to each child and .and guide the child accordingly to clear the concept.
ReplyDeleteI would like to select second activity as it will me to assess the progress of child step by step
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the second method would be much helpful for the child and the teacher to know exactly where they have to focus more.
ReplyDeleteIn my view I would adopt second strategy to assess the learning of child in number operation as it will be helpful to know that whether the concept and the sub areas related to the concept has been understood by the whole class or they lack in some areas and on that specific areas different strategies can be adapted for children specifically.
ReplyDeleteThe second method would be much helpful and understandable for the students.
