Correct Answer - Option 1 : I, II, III and IV
In a traditional classroom, after completing the teaching and learning, the teacher presents some questions to answer and he/she always expect correct answers. In a constructivist learning situation, the process is as important as the product. The assessment is not only based on tests but also observation of students work, how they interact, how they draw conclusions on a subject. Some of the assessment strategies include the following:
-
Oral discussion: The teacher writes a focus question on the blackboard for open discussion on the topic. When the students take part in the discussion he/ she observes the performance of individual students.
-
Mind mapping: In this activity, the students list out and categorize the concepts and ideas relating to a topic.
- Through hands-on activities, the students are encouraged to interact with the environment or manipulate a material. Teacher records the students’ performance using a checklist or an observation schedule.
- Pre-testing is done by the teacher to know where the student is in respect of learning lessons before he is exposed to new learning
Hence, all the above points are used in constructivist assessment.
