MACUL 2012 Presentation
Integrating a Classroom Response System with Marzano's Formative Assessment Levels
Friday March 9. 1:00 - 2:00 pm
Winchester Room, Amway
2010-11 MACUL Grant Awardee
In this presentation, we will discuss how a classroom response system utilizing Marzano's levels of formative assessment (levels 2, 3, and 4) has been used. Results will be discussed - how responses on the clickers correspond with achievement in a college science class for elementary teachers. This is basically a pilot study for future research in this area.
Questions we will explore during the workshop:
- What do I need to have or know to set up a classroom response system for my class?
- How can I set up questions using Marzano's levels of formative assessment? (excerpt from Marzano, R. (2010). Formative assessment & standards-based grading. Marzano Research:Bloomington, IN.)
- How did you (Reuben) interpret your results? (I use a Mac, so you'll see the "Mac-centric" side of this) How do I get this into a format I can work with? What are the difficulty and discrimination indices?
- What did you (Reuben) see regarding a correlation between how students answered questions with the classroom response system and their grades in the class?
Freebie - watch me use Splashtop Streamer to run this presentation, in case you are looking for an iPad-based interactive whiteboard application. I'm a newbie at it, but I'm also willing to gamble that it'll work!
Here is the prezi for this presentation. Here is the screencast of the live presentation.
