Gauging Student Needs AssessmentGauging Student Needs AssessmentPurpose of the AssessmentTo gather information about what students already know and what they wonder about Schizophrenia. What I want to learn from my students?I want to find out what they already know about the Unit Questions and what they know about setting up surveys and questionnaires.How I have tried to promote higher-order thinking?I ask students to find relationships and draw conclusions about schizophrenic patients and what type of help these patients might need.How the assessment information helps me and my students plan for upcoming activities in the unit?If students have misconceptions about how to set up surveys and questionnaires, I can provide scaffolds. If students have different levels of understanding about the importance of plants, I can provide various resources. We will revisit this assessment throughout the unit for students to add their knowledge.What feedback or additional ideas I’d like?I would like help on my assessment. I think I need to elicit more higher-order thinking, but I’m not sure how.
