Course 09: Activity 6: Share Your Thoughts
To assess the child on number operations, a teacher frames a question paper at the end of the lesson with multiple choice questions only. Another teacher divides the concept of number operations into smaller sub-units and observes how the child responds to activities designed for each sub-unit. The teacher maintains a file of each child's sample work done in that unit in a portfolio and uses it to write the report looking at their portfolio. Which strategy would you like to adopt in your class and why? Share your thoughts.
Foundational Numeracy
ReplyDeleteMCQ are best at this level
DeleteI will opt for second method to know level of each individual child present in class.
DeleteI would adopt the second teacher's strategy, which involves dividing the concept into smaller sub-units, observing student responses, and maintaining a portfolio of sample work. This approach provides a more comprehensive and nuanced assessment of the child's understanding of number operations. By breaking down the concept into smaller parts, the teacher can identify specific strengths and weaknesses, and tailor instruction to meet individual needs. The portfolio also serves as a valuable record of student progress over time.

ReplyDeleteSecond method would better help in understanding.
ReplyDeleteI will go for the 2nd option because there is continuous assessment and the teacher can get to know about the child's learning gaps and can guide the child accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIt's depending upon the child's ability, Some body says the correct answer directly and some body can only identify the correct answer from choice. Assessments are different kinds. Choose the method whichever applicable.
ReplyDeleteChildren who comes to school are belong to diverse communities. Hence it's better to which method is adaptable.
ReplyDeleteObservation, portfolio, rubrics yoon activity, play way are some of the methods of assessments.
ReplyDeletePortfolio strategy would be far better for promoting holistic development with integrated approach.
ReplyDeleteObservation, play way method and use of portfolio is the way forward for holistic education of the children.
ReplyDeleteI would rather choose the second option because it ensures that the students had learned the number operations.
ReplyDeleteI will chose the second way of assessing. Since this method will explain about the child
ReplyDeleteI will adopt the second method for assessment because it will give a better way to diagnose the areas in each sub unit where students are facing trouble. Teacher can accordingly scaffhold
ReplyDeleteI prefer the second one.

ReplyDeleteWe will adapt the 2nd strategy as it vl give the clear understanding of each and every concept of the student and it also increases the confidence of the child.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow the methods applying to teach are varies between child to child.
ReplyDeletei will go with question pattern
ReplyDeleteThe second one is preferable because by this child might be struggling and provides opportunities for target.
ReplyDeleteThe second opinion would be preferable as because individual attention could be given to each student.
ReplyDeleteI will opt for the second opinion.
ReplyDeleteI will opt for the second option as that would help me to assess the child at multiple domains.
ReplyDeleteI will adapt the method of the teacher who divides the concept of number operations into smaller sub-units and observes how the child responds to activities designed for each sub-unit. I'll maintain a file of each child's sample work done in that unit in a portfolio and uses it to write the report looking at their portfolio.
ReplyDeleteSecond method is more appropriate.
ReplyDeleteThe second teacher's strategy is better. It is more reliable and precise and provides an opportunity to analyse and correct the learning deficiencies.
ReplyDeleteThe second method is better.
ReplyDeleteI think MCQ is best method.
ReplyDeleteI would use a portfolio method as it helps to keep a track of the child's day by day progress
ReplyDeleteI would use second method
ReplyDeleteI will opt for second method to know about the progress of the child
ReplyDeleteGo with second one
ReplyDeleteThe second method.
ReplyDeleteBecause every child should learn and since every child has different learning outcome hence the teacher has to assess the child continuously
Second method. Continuous learning assessment
ReplyDeleteI will opt for the second one
ReplyDeleteI prefer the second teacher's strategy as it provides a detailed, ongoing assessment through activities and portfolios, allowing for personalized feedback and a deeper understanding of number operations.
ReplyDeletewould use the strategy of portfolio. This strategy would help in assessing the child continuously.

Using a portfolio to track progress offers a comprehensive view of their skills and areas for improvement, leading to more personalized and effective feedback.
ReplyDeleteI would adopt the second strategy, where the concept of number operations is divided into smaller sub-units, and the child's progress is observed through activities designed for each sub-unit, with their work collected in a portfolio.
ReplyDeleteMCQ would be the first way to teach apart from that we can also apply play way methods. Like with colour full balls . We can access a students learning through the ways that attracts a child
ReplyDeleteI would use the strategy of portfolio. This strategy would help in assessing the child continuously.

ReplyDeleteI will opt for the second one to know the level of understanding of individual child.
ReplyDeleteI will opt for the second one
ReplyDeleteUsing different assessment strategies and changing each as per feasiblity . it should be flexible as per the needs of the class.
ReplyDeleteI'll break down the complex concepts into manageable parts and use MCQ
ReplyDeleteI will use second method. As after every subtopic checking of the understanding of that particular concept is important then only teacher can go further to the next concept.
ReplyDeleteI will use the 2nd method as it will enable me to check each aspect of learning and also know where the problem lies so that that issue is addressed and worked upon
ReplyDeleteI would adopt the second strategy of dividing the concept into smaller sub-units and using portfolio-based assessment. Here's why:
ReplyDeleteHolistic Understanding: Breaking down number operations into sub-units allows me to assess specific skills (e.g., addition, subtraction, place value) and identify precisely where a child needs support.
Active Engagement: Activity-based assessments make learning interactive and enjoyable, fostering better conceptual understanding.
Individualized Feedback: Portfolios provide a comprehensive view of each child’s progress over time, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.
Personalized Learning: Observing responses to activities helps tailor teaching strategies to suit individual learning styles.
Encourages Reflection: Portfolios encourage children to reflect on their own work, promoting self-awareness and accountability for learning.
lets move with the 2nd method
ReplyDeleteI wish to adopt the strategy of dividing the concept into smaller unite & maintain a portfolio of the work done by the child.
ReplyDeleteSecond one is best
ReplyDeletePortfolio assessment Portfolio is a collection of students' work representing a selection of performance. It often documents a student's best work. It may also include information such as drafts of his/her work, his/herself assessment of work, and parents' assessment.
ReplyDeleteI would like to adopt the strategy of second teacher wherein the sub topics will be divided for the better understanding of students.
ReplyDeleteI would like to opt for second method to know level of each individual child present in my class as it will give me better idea to clear their concepts.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the second teacher method is a correct way to assess. As activities play a major role.
ReplyDeleteObservation method is the best way to keep a track of performance of the students which can help the teacher to understand the concept clarity of the students. Whereas MCQ pattern will just help to know objective based knowledge and not the critical or application based.
ReplyDeleteSecond option is the better option as it will help a teacher to judge the students in a better way.

ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, I would prefer the second strategy—dividing the concept of number operations into smaller sub-units, observing how children respond to activities, and maintaining a portfolio of their work.
ReplyDeleteThis approach aligns well with continuous and comprehensive assessment, which is particularly effective for young learners in pre-primary and primary grades. Here’s why I believe it is more beneficial:
Child-Centered Learning – Breaking down number operations into sub-units allows children to grasp concepts at their own pace and in a meaningful way. It also helps in identifying specific areas where a child may need more support.
Holistic Assessment – Instead of relying only on a test, this method evaluates learning through activities, discussions, and hands-on experiences, giving a more accurate picture of a child’s understanding and skills.
Encourages Active Engagement – Observing students during activities provides real-time insights into their problem-solving strategies and thought processes, making assessment an ongoing and interactive process.
Portfolio-Based Reflection – Maintaining a file of students’ work helps in tracking their progress over time. This provides rich documentation of learning and serves as evidence for both teachers and parents.
Reduces Stress – Young children may feel pressured or anxious during a formal test. Activity-based assessment allows them to demonstrate their learning in a comfortable, natural setting.
Overall, this approach ensures that assessment is formative, developmental, and supportive rather than just a judgment of final scores. It helps in making informed decisions about further teaching strategies, ensuring that each child gets the guidance they need.
Both methods are useful to check the understanding of child in handling single operation problem and multiple operation problem
ReplyDelete2nd method is better
