Assessment of learning to learn skills
14. Individualized evaluations
101
Development and assessment of ‘learning to learn skills’ is done by stimulating the individual creativity of learners with the use of openended questionnaires. The assessment has to take into account learners’ individual efforts and their starting proficiency level, through evaluation tools in which priority is accorded to personal initiative, daily attitude, interest, participation.
How do you assess and then develop ‘learning to learn skills’ with your students?
Teachers say: “Through an individualized evaluation, an adaptation of the objectives and generalizing it to their learning contexts.” “I evaluate taking into account three knowledge sections (exams, papers, etc), then another section where the procedures (practical work, presentations, homework) are valued and finally the attitude of the students in front of the subject (not the behaviour but as the worked throughout the quarter, social skills with other colleagues, participation). To develop learning to learn the student is taught a prior knowledge about the subject that we are working and then have to go looking, expanding information through various media because then you have to transmit to your colleagues through presentations. Throughout this process the student is guided to be self-sufficient in his work, which leads him to learn things for himself.” “…I have workbooks made which function as a portfolio and give feedback, among other things, on assessment sheets.”
