Teachers assess student learning in many ways. In the following
activities, you will evaluate how Mr. Bingman and Ms. Havlik addressed student
misconceptions and whether their students' work shows understanding of evolution. At the
end of this section, you'll use your notes to summarize and evaluate their strategies for
uncovering and addressing misconceptions and assessing student learning.
But first, here is some background information on
assessments in science classes.
Look at these examples of student work in Mr. Bingman's class.
Then note your responses to these questions:
 |
| • |
What evidence of student learning/understanding is there
in this work? Why do you think that? |
|
| • |
What did you see in students' work that was interesting
and surprising? |
|
| • |
What did you learn about how these students think and
learn? |
