What are Conceptests? Multiple-choice questions used to: –Explore depth of student understanding –Provide timely feedback for students and instructors –Facilitate peer instruction and just-in-time teaching –Utilize Bloom’s Learning Domains Knowledge Understanding Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation

Where Can I Find Conceptests? / Available online: conceptests/index.html conceptests/index.html

Large-lecture Intro Physical Geology Classes at UTC Semester class students in theatre-style room Meets 2 times/week for 1 hr 15 min. 3 exams & a final (all scantron) Multiple choice with 10 pt essay

i>clicker use engages students provides anonymity active learning provides practice answering questions before the exam instructor knows if material needs more discussion mages/pcinstall_08_V2.jpg

Suggestions for i>clicker use Provide reward points Keep reward small (mine is 2 pts maximum per session) Use similar conceptest questions on exams lks/Reach2009/reach20095.html
