Good Proxies for Learning
If we are to assess the learning that has taken place, we should be clear about the difference between learning and performance. Here are five good proxies for learning:
1) Examples & non-examples
- Concentrate on relevant examples and non-examples.
2) Retrieve previously learnt
- Retrieve what they have been taught in previous lessons.
3) Use new examples
- Apply concepts to new examples.
4) Practice drills
- Engage in practice drills (which may involve repetition of formulas and procedures).
5) Answer without help
- Answer questions without cues or prompts.
Apply knowledge to new scenarios
- If we are to potentially assess whether our pupils are learning, we should look to create assessment opportunities that cumulatively build on knowledge to new scenarios over time.
