The Authentic Assessment Methodologies In Mathematics

as Knowledge Assessment Evaluation Theory, Blooms Taxonomy and Theory of Evaluation; theories supporting the use of authentic assessment methodologies in Mathematics such as Meaningful Learning Theory, Social Learning Theory, Cognitive Theory, Skinner Operant Conditioning and Social Constructivist Theory; and theories and educational reforms on which authentic assessment methodologies in Mathematics are grounded. Figure 1 shows that authentic assessment methodologies in Mathematics address trends

Furthermore, in the construction of assessment methodologies, the Cone of Learning Experience of Edgar Dale is considered. (Figure 3) Fig. 3. Edgar Dale’s Cone of Learning Experience Dale’s Cone of Experience is a model that incorporates several theories related to instructional design and learning processes, according to Anderson (2006), In the 1960s, Edgar Dale theorized that learners retain more information by what they “do” as opposed to what is “heard”, “read,” or “observed”. His research

Bloom’s Taxonomy (Guskey, 2010). “In using this strategy, teachers organize the important concepts and skills they want students to acquire into learning unit” (Guskey, 2010, p. 52). After each unit the teacher administers a formative assessment. The formative assessment allows the instructor to identify where each students needs additional help. Task analysis is the process of literally analyzing the task. Shepherd contends task analysis “in a way

President’s commitment to increasing STEM funding in the Administration’s FY2014 Budget. The Federal STEM 5-year strategic plan outlines several admirable goals such as, “Support a 50 percent increase in the number of U.S. youth who have an effective, authentic STEM experience each year prior to completing high school” (Committee on STEM Education

by Dr. Julia Ross: open ended, contextualized within the real world, relevant to the lives of the students, based upon the use of everyday materials as much as possible to create a functional prototype, and aligned with grade level appropriate mathematics and engineering habits of mind – specifically systems thinking, creativity, optimism, collaboration, communication, and

learning. It will also focus on the significance of planning, including the importance of lesson objectives, and learning outcomes (success criteria) and how the teacher wants students to know and understand this purpose. Finally, it will place assessment for learning as a fundamental in facilitating students learning in a classroom and how I have implemented this in my medium term plan, lesson plan and teaching as a whole Evidence as a word means facts or physical signs that either helps to prove

The use of technology tools is one of the key components to preparing learners for the 21st century. However, with the overwhelming abundance of technology tools and resources, educators are faced with the challenge of selecting and implementing the most effective tools that lead to the highest level of student learning. Although reading and writing text has been the focus of learning for thousands of years (Myers, 1996), developments and changes in technology have made a vast impact on recent

Introduction: The Nature of Teaching The nature of teaching has been conceptualized and explained n countless ways, one conceptualized is that teaching is the act of providing activities that facilitate learning, another view runs likes this”Teaching is something that takes place only when learning does. No matter what the teacher is doing in her classes, if the student are not learning something significant, she is not teaching, when the student fails, the teacher fails more. Quite similar to

STEM-related careers. Universities created numerous extra-curricular K-12 activities that will encourage children to continue their studies in mathematics and science and to consider careers in engineering, science and technology. Those activities are positively impacting the impressions of students in regards to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In Sonoran Science Academy Phoenix, Tucson, robotics programs targeting elementary, middle and high school students promotes hands-on, creative

understanding of mathematics topics. Language arts, social studies, and science instruction commonly uses literature. At times it can be overlooked when teaching or planning lessons for mathematics. Mathematics instruction tends to have a high emphasis on using manipulatives or workbooks. Literature does not tend to be at the top of the resource list (Golden, 2012). While books can be a very useful tool for teachers successfulness in teaching mathematics topics. You can find mathematics in different
