UBDDI Chapter 5

One style of testing is not a good example of what a student knows or understands. I am terrible at taking tests, even when I understand the material. The “photo album” concept is introduced in the chapter and we as teachers are encouraged to use this when assessing students’ work. In high school, I did well on projects and homework, however. The word understand can have so many different meanings, too, that it is difficult to find one way to measure understanding. Again, the author emphasized the idea of making concepts relate to the real world and the students’ lives.
