LEARNING ACTIVITIES
What activities and
resources will lead
students towards the
learning goals?
WHAT is the evidence of student learning?
✔it is something we can see, hear, or point at
✔it proves that what we say about learning really happened (or did not
happen)
✔shows where our students are on their way to the goal, not whether
or not they were successful
✔serves us (teachers) as a starting point for further work
WHY shall we work with the evidence of
learning?
✔it teaches us (teachers and students) what is a well done job
✔we can use it for a formative assessment - we understand what
students can manage (or cannot not manage) to do and we can adapt
our teaching accordingly
✔we can better understand how students think and how they learn
WHEN does it makes sense to analyze the
evidence of learning?
✔when we focus on the process (how students proceed, when they are
solving a task, i.e. when they learn), not the result (when the right
solutions are determined in advance)
✔ when there is more than one correct solution
✔ when we have set qualitative criteria
HOW is the evidence of learning related to
our goals?
Goal 1: A student describes what he sees using correct chemical terms
and formulas.
Evidence: Students's description of a demonstrated experiment in his/her
worksheet.
Goal 2: A pupil non-verbally expresses his/her feelings based on a
literary text.
Evidence : A picture illustrating a reading text .
Goal 3: A student formulates in his own words how he thinks about
human rights.
Evidence : Completion of unfinished sentences in a workbook.
HOW does it make sense to you?
Do you have any questions?
Does the term „evidence of learning“ correlate with any other term you
came accross during your studies?
It is your turn:
How will your students demonstrate what they have learnt in your
class?
