“Consensogram” Questions
“Consensogram” Questions
Please respond on a scale of 0 -100 in increments of 10:
1. What proportion of your undergraduate courses used an active, inquiry-based learning approach?
2. To what degree should undergraduate courses be based on active, inquiry-based learning?
3. To what degree do the assessments you use (or you experienced as an undergraduate) provide convincing data about student learning?
4. How important is it to use multiple kinds of data to assess your students?
5. How often do you use data to make instructional decisions?

Goals for This WorkshopAs a result of your participation in this workshop, you will...
Develop a practical and theoretical understanding about active and inquiry-based learning.
Use multiple instructional designs and strategies that promote active learning by all students.
Develop and analyze multiple forms of assessment to gather data about students’ understanding.
Use data to identify student misconceptions and improve instructional design.
Consider discpilinary research strategies for assessment of learning - what are the parallels?

How did this inquiry “work?”
Develop a learning goal for this inquiry. List the performance expectations for your
students. What assessments would you use to
determine the if your students achieved the learning goals?
During break record your answers to these items on the postits around the room.
![Page 13: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What are central questions about learning?
1. What do we want our students to know and be able to do?
2. What knowledge or misconceptions do our students bring to the course?
3. What evidence will we accept that students know and can do?
4. How does our instruction help learning?

True or False?
Assessing student learning in science parallels what scientists actually do as researchers.
![Page 19: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Parallels: assessment Ask questions
» What is happening?» Is there systematic effect (does x cause y)?» Why or how is it happening?
Select instructional or research design Determine appropriate data collection methods Analyze results Results inform next steps Peer review

Assess what Type of Learning?
Bloom (1956) 6 major categories in the Cognitive Domain of Educational ObjectivesCondensed to 3 - realistic to work with
![Page 21: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cognitive Levels
Knowledge - remember Understanding and Application -
grasp meaning, use, interpret Synthesis Critical Analysis - original thinking,
open-ended answers, whole to parts, parts to whole, evaluation
![Page 22: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Analyze Assessment Questions
Individually,
Use the modified Bloom’s taxonomy to classify the cognitive level of the assessment questions in the handout.

What type of data do we gather?
Depends on the evidence we will accept that students have learned what we want them to learn.
Data must be aligned with the course goals. Measures of knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
» tests, extended responses, concept maps, » research papers, teamwork, communication

Plan a Unit of Instruction Goal: Students will be able to
demonstrate their understanding of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Assessment - multiple forms
• Instructional design - how to achieve goals
![Page 27: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Common Misconceptions: Photosynthesis & Respiration
Photosynthesis as Energy: Photosynthesis provides energy for uptake of nutrients through roots which builds biomass. No biomass built through photosynthesis alone.
Plant Altruism: CO2 is converted to O2 in plant leaves so that all
organisms can ‘breathe’.
All Green: Plants have chloroplasts instead of mitochondria so they can not respire.
Thin Air: CO2 and O2 are gases therefore, do not have mass and
therefore, can not add or take away mass from an organism.
![Page 28: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Radish Problem Experimental Setup: Weighed out 3 batches of radish seeds each weighing
1.5 g. Experimental treatments:
» 1. Seeds not moistened (dry) placed in LIGHT » 2. Seeds placed on moistened paper towels in
LIGHT» 3. Seeds placed on moistened paper towels in
DARK
![Page 29: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Problem (cont)
After 1 week, all plant material was dried in an oven overnight (no water left) and plant biomass was measured in grams.
Predict the biomass of the plant material in the various treatments (use think-pair-share).
» Light, No Water» Light, Water
» Dark, Water

Results: Weight of Radish Seedlings
1.46 g 1.63 g 1.20 g
Write an explanation about the results.
(Remember all treatments started as 1.5g).
![Page 31: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How and when do you identify student learning difficulties?
Don’t have to grade; formative assessment
Pre-test or engagement activity like “Radish problem”
Before instruction
![Page 32: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Develop a question that reveals the ‘thin air’ misconception with your partner
Share your question with another pair
Critique the question and select one question to share with the class
Find a Partner
![Page 33: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Elements to consider
What are the goals of your assessment? What specific learning difficulties or
misconceptions are you trying to measure? Can you predict how students will answer the
question? How will you determine the learning difficulty
based on the information you get from students answers?
How will you analyze and use the data?
![Page 34: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Once you have evidence of a problem, how do you evaluate the learner’s progress in correcting and extending their understanding?
![Page 35: Diane Ebert-May, Kathy Williams, Janet Batzli Michigan State University San Diego State University University of Wisconsin Innovative Teaching.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649e025503460f94aecb0b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
