We have commented on our traditional evaluation systems. We have accepted the ideas for ours and they are in our lesson plan by now. We have added the grading system, completed the multiple choice test (first to be done or for low-level students) and made simpler and with specific instructions the vocabulary activity (second to be done or for higher-level students).
Why were not perfect? Apart than having not enough time, we should mixed different types of questions (Yes/No questions - answer in your own words - multiple choice, answer briefly, ...), enough time, and specific and clear instructions, apart from marking system.
KEEP IN MIND:
- What are you testing (Vocabulary, comprehension, concepts, ...)?
- How long is the quiz / test?
- What is the point distribution? How will you grade?
- Very clear specific instructions are necessary.
- Versions for different levels.
- Identifying or producing?
- Quiz, test, lesson, reading comprehension. Specify, please.
TYPES OF QUESTIONS:
- True / False - Identify or identify and correct or add an evidence.
- Fill in the blanks (with or without wordbank)
- Multiple choice (open or closed)
- Finish sentencs
- Answer in short (2/3 sentences,...)
- Specify points (total and for each question)
* Possible Extra Credit (personal opinion, ...)
They can create their own tests and quizzes. They will be responsible for their own word. Of course, questions and answers must be checked by the teacher.
