As stated on Shannon's blog, she and I will be working together to create a unit of work for a year 10 level IT class.
For this post I will be adding our ideas towards the assessment for our unit of work that we are planning.
Before Learning Activities begin:
Students are expected to at least have basic ICT skills from previous years of study thus a short research test at the begining of the unit could be done to determine level of research skills of individual students. This test would cover basic searching using google or a similar search engine and have the students answering some simple questions using the selected search engine. The students could then be assessed by the level of research knowledge used when completing their searches, i.e. did they use the advanced search option, were they able to locate the correct information.
While students work on learning activities
For ongoing assessment of the students learning and researching capabilities each task that they complete would be assessed for completion and depth of understanding. Their progress would be monitored for the duration of the unit and qualitive questioning will be used to gather information on student's understand of the topic and tasks.
After Learning Activities End
For the final assessment of the unit the students will complete a final research task in which they will have to use the skills that they have learnt over the course of the unit to complete.
