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/
