In Maths we have
used QLA sheets for a long period of time. In that time, they have
evolved to now support learners even more that they have previously.
The first iteration
for learners was a simple tick sheet. Students RAG rated each question
based on their success in answering it, and ticked the relevant column.
This had its flaws, in that it became subjective. Whilst teachers were giving
advice on how to judge the level of success for questions, the sheer number of
questions and variations on what was a red, amber or green meant that we needed
a more consistent system that ensured all students received the correct
information at the end of an exam.
Our second version
solved this problem by giving the percentage a student achieved of the marks
available on that questions.
For example if a
student is awarded 3 marks out of 4 on a task it will show 75%. We then
set clear boundaries for red amber and green at <50%, <75% and >75%
respectively. This quickly evolved in to an automatic process of
exclamation marks (! = some work needed, !!! = significant work needed).
In doing this we improved the efficiency of passing that information to
students so that they know what they need to work on.
But we still needed another step to help them find their help.
Our most recent
version now links directly with Hegarty Maths. For each question there
are already clip numbers for Hegarty which students can use to watch the video
and complete the questions. Underneath this video clip there is an empty
box that allows students to record their score. This means students
now know what and where.
Moving
forwards this system will be moving on to SIMS so that this can be better
tracked over time, following the students progress throughout their time at
Hodgson.
