Assessment for Learning MOOC’s Updates
Title: Evaluating Teaching Practices for Continuous Improvement
Evaluation in education is essential for ensuring that teaching approaches, learning environments, and academic programs meet their intended outcomes. It promotes accountability, supports professional growth, and helps educators make data-informed decisions that improve student learning and institutional effectiveness.
Proposed Evaluation:
I would like to conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of active learning strategies in promoting student engagement and achievement.
Purpose: To assess how interactive, learner-centered methods enhance motivation, participation, and understanding.
Methods: Classroom observations, student surveys, performance assessments, and teacher reflections.
Strengths: Combines qualitative and quantitative evidence, fosters reflective teaching, and supports evidence-based improvement.
Weaknesses: May require significant time and consistency; subjective interpretations may occur without clear rubrics.
Effective evaluation should be continuous, collaborative, and improvement-oriented focusing not only on outcomes but on refining the teaching-learning process itself.
