A Quick Activity to Assess Student Knowledge

Spread the love

In this approach, you will be able to visually assess the amount of knowledge the learners have about a particular topic or use it as a review of a topic to see how much they have learned.

In this approach, you will need cups of different colors: red, yellow, and green. Red is meant for “no knowledge,” yellow is meant for a “moderate amount of knowledge,” and green is meant for “knowledge of the topic.”

You will pose a question to the class, and the class will stack the cups in the order of how much they know about the topic. The top color of the cups is the color that is the indicator to you.

Ask several questions that you need to help you assess the learner’s knowledge.

You are giving a chance for the learner to self assess what they know and demonstrate that to you.

About Us

The Edvocate was created in 2014 to argue for shifts in education policy and organization in order to enhance the quality of education and the opportunities for learning afforded to P-20 students in America. What we envisage may not be the most straightforward or the most conventional ideas. We call for a relatively radical and certainly quite comprehensive reorganization of America’s P-20 system.

That reorganization, though, and the underlying effort, will have much to do with reviving the American education system, and reviving a national love of learning.  The Edvocate plans to be one of key architects of this revival, as it continues to advocate for education reform, equity, and innovation.
