Questionnaire and record keeping

One of the teaching strategies I frequently used in high school math classes was the quiz. I often used it to review basic skills, number facts, formulas, and the meanings of various geometric and math terminologies. He often made a written record of the questions he asked for future reuse.

He often gave the same quiz more than once, but kept records of the students’ results and encouraged them to do so as well. I do tell them that the test will be repeated but not when.

The idea of ​​the records is to encourage the student to work to improve. The improvement is then recognized by you, the teacher, and by the students themselves.

Another way of keeping records is to record those questions in the questionnaire that are incorrectly asked. Reteach the concepts associated with these, and on a later day, come up with a new quiz to review these tasks, to check if your teaching has been effective. If you do this multiple times with your various quizzes of each type or topic, you’ll end up with some very nice final “quiz” tests. They could then be used as pseudodiagnostic tests with future classes as well.

These records can be used to assist you with your student progress report, particularly mid-semester reports. The results record also helps the teacher to quickly know her class. Face-to-face student contact reporting their results and their recording of those results helps prevent quiet students from “hiding in plain sight.” The teacher can put a face to a name and then really get to know the student who is arguing with the parents in a report situation.
