Flipped-Learning
Toolkit: 5 Steps for Formative Assessment
By Jon Bergmann - November 18, 2014
This
article illustrates how an instructor can perform individualized assessment to
see which students mastered assignments. This flipped classroom method and stop
instructors from carrying tons of papers home for grading and it gives them
more time to work with students individually.
The instructor is able to customize learning as well as assessments that
will make more sense to each students’ learning style.
The
video gave 5-steps that can be followed to check for student mastery.
1.
Students
are assigned exercises to complete based on one objective with answers ranging
from easy to answer to more difficult.
2.
Students
are given instructions to solve the odd or even problems or even a mixture of
the two.
3.
In
checking for mastery, the instructor will select a problem the student has
worked and asked student to explain or show detail on paper. When student explains work, the instructor
can determine if student really understands the concept or if they continue to
struggle. Also, the instructor can tell
if student cheated.
4.
If
student fails mastery, remediation is the next step, instructor reviews
assignment and plans a second mastery assignment.
5.
The
second mastery is scheduled for students who didn’t master first assignments.
According
to Bergman, “…the greatest benefit of the mastery check is that each student
has to demonstrate mastery of each objective and, if not, is provided immediate
feedback.” However, this mastery concept is similar to the developmental math
assignments used for my class. Students have to master homework and quizzes assigned
in MyLabsPlus by Pearson before they are eligible to take final. The assignments and quizzes are automatically
graded in MyLabsPlus and students are required to score 90% on Quizzes 1, 2 and
3 before eligible to take written assessment. Homework assignments are optional
but recommended for practice.
