Term3 -Monitoring- Integration

Raise Māori student achievement through the development of cultural visibility and responsive practices across the pathway as measured against National Standards and agreed targets for reading Years 1-10 and NCEA years 11-13. As a CoL leader within the school. I  am more interested in inquiring about student learning and my own practice.

Monitoring CTD

Third Hypothesis: Students are unsure how to interpret contextual exam questions, especially at the Merit and Excellence level.
Last week I have been working on my third hypotheses with Dr Janni.

Here is the example (1) 

Key steps before Answering: 
Step1: Circle the keywords such as; Diagram, Function F(x), point(k,k), contained and shaded area.
Step2: Unpack the questions as underlined.
Step3: Draw all the wanted information in a diagram.
Step4: Answer the questions

Here is the example (2)

Key steps before Answering: 
Step1: Circle the keywords as rounded; Object’s acceleration, object, velocity, how far.
Step2: Unpack the questions as underlined.
Step3: Draw all the wanted information in a diagram.
Step4: Answer the questions.

Here is the example (3)

Key steps before Answering: 

Step1: Circle the keywords as rounded; .Mass, burning candle, velocity.
Step2: Unpack the questions as underlined.
Step3: Draw all the wanted information in the diagram.
Step4: Answer the questions.

I gave students a practice test last week, and I was really impressed with how much work ethic had improved. There was a noticeable improvement in algebra with fewer careless mistakes. The rewindable learning technique and Dr Janni’s strategy has really facilitated students in achieving Excellence. Here are the results:  

Name	AS91579 Integration practice test	AS91579 Integration practice test(Mock examination)
Student A	WD
Student B	ab
Student C	WD
Student D	M
Student E	M
Student F	M
Student G	M
Student H	E
Student I	M
Student J	M
Student K	A
Student L	WD
Student M	E
Student N	WD
Student O	M

There are three external examinations in this course and  all of them will be sitting one external and a few selected students will be sitting all three depending on their career pathway. 

As you can see four learners did not sit this exam. Two students are working on the Excellence level and most students are aiming for a Merit level. Learners are working hard towards Mock examinations which will be the last practice and is important as it will give them their derived grade.

Next step: Revising for mock examinations
