Experimental manipulation after tests using eSALT feedback from students

By

Personalized pre and post test need to be conducted in the following manner with experimental manipulation:





While giving questions, each student needs to be asked for how easy or difficult the questions are.









Student Feedback for Questions Ease (eSALT):





1) Easy (E)
2) Safe (S)
3) Average (A)
4) Low (L)
5) Trouble (T)





Also, keep space for some specific feedback that students want to comment on the question while answering. (e.g. Mistakes in questions, concept not taught in the class, or not understood, unable to recall or don't know the answers or specific part of answers like formula or for example atomic number of element, unable to understand the question).





Ask students to be elaborative and be particular to the problem faced while writing feedback.





Students can give not so useful feedback in order to hide their problem, so teachers should be make them feel safe so that they can express themselves.





Teachers curation
1) Students making mistakes with Questions tagged Easy, Safe, Average comes under misconceptions which need to be dealt with. It can also be due to silly mistakes, if the mistakes are repetitive, it must be addressed.





2) Concepts of questions that are tagged with Low and Trouble (it doesn't matter whether student solved it correctly or not) should be explained again to the student. If a student has solved correctly even after tagging it as Low or Trouble than the student need be asked for the cause of trouble along with solving the trouble.





3) Written specific short correction and feedback should also be marked in the answer script (Can be done after scanning of answer script, and using annotating tools of softwares such as okular, shutter) . Motivational or subjective feedbacks (e.g. work more on this topic) should be verbal instead of written.









Explaining and clearing doubts can be done in groups in the class as well as in individual level. Grouping can be done based on the overall type of feedback you get from all students.





Spaced Practice
All questions from Average, Low, Trouble, and questions of Easy and Safe that were solved incorrectly by students should be noted down and equivalent questions need to be prepared for spaced practice.
About 30% of equivalent questions from Easy and 50% of equivalent questions from Safe that are solved correctly by the student should also be included in spaced practice.





pretest and posttest should run in a chain that checks the improvement. 









 




These tests should be usually of low stakes without grading and purpose of exam should be retrieval practice and understand student better so that corrective measures can be taken.





eSALT feedback helps to identify where exactly students are facing problems, and it will act as a reflection for teachers and they can take corrective measures to deal with the problems faced by students. It's so easy that even kids can label the questions.





Personalized learning goals: New information is built over reusing of previous information

The overview of fair democracy: https://iambrainstorming.wordpress.com/from-hypocrisy-to-democracy-this-way-delegated-proof-of-stake-2/   Evolutionary democracy using hierarchical specialization with adapted delegated proof of stake algorithm, where different specialized departments are in a symbiotic or mutually beneficial relationship.  The Tree of Democracy Each funnel is a department with its subdepartments A Department For example, the education department can have its sub-departments such as kid education, adult education, research, entrepreneurship. Each department consists of large outer representatives and a few inner representatives. These large outer representatives are the grand total of all its sub-department outer representatives and the few inner representatives are the grand totals of all its sub-department inner representatives. Inner representatives of center and state are policy approver,   and inner representatives of all the regions (center, state, ...

A new fair democracy inspired by Delegated Proof of Stake algorithm

Preprint link: https://osf.io/82mpk/ dem·oc·racy [democracy democracies] 1) fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country or organization, etc, and their right to take part in making decisions 2) a system of government in which all the people of a country can vote to elect their representatives Yes, most democratic countries fulfill the second definition of democracy, but none to the first definition. Abstract: Democracy is about fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country. But it becomes unrealistic to achieve when political parties have their conflict of interest , and leaders don't have the expertise to make evidence-based policies and neither have the skill and manpower for solving problems that surround our society and ecosystem. The new fair democracy provides an elegant way of governance that separates the representative responsibility according to their specialization and can grow into any complexity. The governance is divided into various departments, and each ...

Importance of educational videos and solving its limitation by teachers assistance

Many technologies have promised to revolutionize education, but so far none has. With that in mind, what could revolutionize education? Why educational videos don't work? 1) Procrastination : Educational videos give freedom of anytime learning, but this can lead to procrastination. According to Parkinson's Law: "Work expands to fill the time available for its completion". But in case of video lectures or MOOCs there is no limit of time, so usually, we procrastinate. Limiting time to complete the MOOCs is also a bad idea, as it takes away its advantage of any time and anywhere learning. 2) Lack of a social interaction : We share emotions, feelings, discuss with the teacher, friends that come to our mind just like a true social animal and classroom brings a social two-way interaction, but it doesn't happen in case of MOOCs. 3) Answerability : No one is there to keep you accountable for finishing the course, no outward push, everything lies with intrinsic motivation...
