Much research in engineering and physics education has focused on improving students' problem-solving skills. This research has led to the development of step-by-step problem-solving strategies and grading rubrics to assess a student's expertise in solving problems using these strategies. These rubric...
These materials were then trialed with experienced special education teachers, who reviewed them and generated intervention strategies for students at different skill levels on the derived progression. The outcome of the study was a set of assessment rubrics and level descriptions that teachers could ...
Instructions: Reviewers are required to tick one box on each separate line to indicate the team’s achievement. Challenge Solution Award - These teams showed excellent problem-solving skills to create an innovative and helpful solution to the challenge. ...
Clarify the targets of instruction, especially for hard-to-define problem solving Provide valid and reliable assessment of student learning Improve student motivation and achievement by helping students understand the nature of quality for performances and products Each chapter is framed by an essential...
The first goal is clarifying the targets of instruction, especially those that are complex and hard to define such as problem solving, writing, and group process skills. Goal number two is providing valid and reliable assessment of student learning on these same complex and hard assess student ...
"But I worked all night on that report! How could you give me a D?" Have you lost track of the number of times you've heard a student askthatquestion or one like it? The problem of evaluating student performance in areas or activities that lack clear-cut "right or wrong" answers is...
The impact of rubrics and scripts on self-regulation, self-efficacy and performance in collaborative problem-solving tasksRubrics and scripts are tools that can promote self-assessment. Although similar, rubrics and scripts differ in the metacognitive processes they support, their cognitive demands, how...
Weigle's research focused on the development and validation of rubrics designed to assess student performance on problem solving assignments. In the current study, rubrics were developed for both quantitative problems and qualitative problems. Rubrics developed for assessing student performance on ...
The goals of the problem-based learning (PBL) format include helping students develop problem-solving skills, improving students' own understanding of how they learn, developing a life-long learning perspective, and acquiring the ability to work on interdisciplinary teams. To assist students and ...
It discusses the types of rubrics including holistic rubrics for overall performance, analytic rubrics for scoring essential traits or dimensions of the task which focuses on aspects of problem solving, and specific which is created for only for a specific task such as scoring students work. ...
