WHIRL Team Profile: HOT-Q This team is designing a tool will allow teachers and
students to author quiz-like questions that will allow them to test their
understanding of scientific concepts. In contrast to previously developed
"flashcard" tools for handheld computers, this team's tool will
scaffold question design to support the development of higher-order questions
as reflected in the Quellmalz Taxonomy (and similar frameworks for assessing
question quality). The tool will not only keep track of student progress
but will also track the kinds and quality of student- and teacher-authored
questions. The key need teachers see this tool addressing is encouraging
student self-review and self-checking of conceptual understanding. |
