Project 1 - Computational Thinking (Spreadsheet Data Analysis)
Task: Conduct an item analysis by using a pre-existing or self-generated multiple-choice assessment (limit to four [4] answer choices) related to your subject area. You should ensure you have at least five (5) questions and ten (10) respondents, in order to analyze the data
Project 1 Reflection
I enjoyed this project because it was a tangible way to see what concepts my students were struggling with and what concepts they know well based on the questions I asked them. In my Computer Art course, skills build upon one another and it is often times hard to move on if the previous concept isn’t fully understood. The data also helped to me to see if one particular student was struggling more than others, allowing me to focus more attention on that student or differentiate the way I teach my lesson based on that student. If all students got a question wrong, it would tell me that maybe I did not present the content well enough for them all to understand and go back and tweak that component of my lesson.
I would like to implement data analysis more often and plan on using this spreadsheet for future assessments.
