Pre- and post-course learning assessments http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/climatemodels/discussions/pre-_post-cours.html#discussion Hi all,<br /> I'm ... http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/climatemodels/discussions/pre-_post-cours.html#post13235 I'm considering putting together a basic pre- and post-test style multiple choice tool (not exactly thrilling, but probably very efficient) based on the geoscience concept inventory to determine how effective my climates course will be. Do any of you already have such a document handy? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

We could compare the knowledge of the students in the class to the the population who participated in the Yale study in the first lecture...]]> Mea Cook 1287774000 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/climatemodels/discussions/pre-_post-cours.html#post13248 Very interesting! ... http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/climatemodels/discussions/pre-_post-cours.html#post13250 Cindy Shellito 1287777960 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/climatemodels/discussions/pre-_post-cours.html#post13250 Mea, the yale ... http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/climatemodels/discussions/pre-_post-cours.html#post13260
I will also use some rubric for assessing understanding of modeling for after the activity. I would like to be able to get a levels of understanding- simple models, models with feedbacks, complex model interactions? the final rubric will evolve with the activity which is highly conceptual at the moment.]]> Caroline Davies 1287985440 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/climatemodels/discussions/pre-_post-cours.html#post13260
