In
addition to Internet-based activities, it is important to include related
hands-on activities in a project whenever possible. The hands-on activities
could serve as an opener for the topic of study or could help to reinforce
learning at a later point in the project.
|
| Example
|
One possibility for assessing student learning is to
present them with a similar, yet related, problem. For example, in the Global/Sun
Temperature Project after students have learned that the amount of daylight
they experience is related to latitude they can be asked to make general
predictions about the amount of daylight they will experience at different
latitudes. Alternatively, students can be assessed by examining the material that they are asked to produce during the course of
the project. |
| Questions
|
Consider these questions as you review your project.
-
How will you determine if your students have
met the standards and/or proficiency benchmarks?
-
How exactly will you assess your students' learning, participation and
performance for the project you have selected?
-
What specific parts of the
project will you assess? Examples may include data analysis, project
assignments, learned knowledge, learned skills, group work, and final product.
-
What methods will you use to assess student performance? Examples may include
journals, rubrics and tests.
