Personalized Learning Assessment Essay

Related Topics:

Since this personalized learning plan under construction is meant to be as practical as possible, it is guided mainly by two theories as previously mentioned; the Multiple Intelligence theory and constructivism. Constructivism theory in this instructional unit considers learning as an active and constructive process. On the other hand the Multiple Intelligence Theory in this unit will focus on logical-mathematical intelligence since students will use knowledge from the learning material to engage in reasoning and critical thinking for problem solving (Philips H., 2010).The assessment will assume three main approaches; a pre-test, a formative check, and a summative assessment.

Pre-test assessment

This will aim at finding out what the students know and what they do not know in the mathematical application. It is a determination of pre-existing subject knowledge. This assessment will be done through administered test to the targeted students and observation of how they attempt to apply the mathematical lessons to the daily activities in class and outside. This will incorporate personalized learning in that each student in the class will be assessed individually to comprehensively know their knowledge levels in application of mathematical approaches to daily life. This aims at guiding the formulation of the personalized...

It will also help in understanding the interests of the students hence use these interest in applying mathematical lessons. It is the baseline for the personalized learning plan in a nutshell.
Formative assessment

This refers to the in-process monitoring of the student comprehension, the prevailing learning needs as well as the progress in the academics in the course of lesson or a unit. In this case there will be continuous assessment tests that I will give the students as well as observation of the application ability outside the classroom. This will be in line with the multiple intelligence theory. The tests given to the students will be on a monthly basis while the observation will be on a weekly basis. This frequent observation is aimed at ensuring all students are efficiently observed and their strengths and weaknesses noted for correction as well as positive reinforcement in the case of strengths.

Summative assessment

This shall be very vital in evaluating whether my objectives of having the students equipped with the skills to translate the theories they learn in my mathematics lessons translated to the daily lives at school and elsewhere. Summative assessment here will help me evaluate the students learning at the end of the unit at a personal level. This I will do by…
