Socrative – Teacher – “Cognitivist Theory”


Socrative – Teacher – “Cognitivist Theory”

 

Socrative is an advanced E-Learning tool for teachers who wish to assess their students. It is an easy online platform which allows teachers to create team quizzes, quick short answer questions or true and false questions.  The teacher may also use the “Cognitivist Theory” in assessing the student’s attention spam, memory, and problem solving skills.

In order to create a quiz or game the teacher must first select either s quiz, quick short answer questions, true or false questionnaire or games. The teacher has the option of importing previous data from their desktop or use their saved quizzes.

The Socrative interface is very simple to use and once the teacher has created the quiz the teacher must then give the students a specific “once off” access number in order for the students to gain access to the quizzes and games.

The teacher can run a report that displays the students quiz answers instantly through google spreadsheet or as an excel file.  Therefore the teacher can gauge the students or a student memory and progress instantly.

The teacher must use constructive questions and students may create their own quizzes or games in class or as a homework exercise.  Socrative is beneficial as it is an instant class online assessment tool that involves the whole class. Socrative brings together both visual and practical learning styles.

Socrative gives the student the ability to interact independently or as a team.  Once the teacher has taught a topic of law the teacher can assess the student knowledge in an instant, this also helps student revise the information that was just taught. The teacher may even ask the students to create their own quiz or game based on the class topic for homework. Socrative allows teacher to obtain a quick understanding of who is learning and who is not, this allows the teacher to use the “cognitivist theory” in order to gauge an understanding of each students attention and memory spam.  http://www.socrative.com/
