Assessment: Using Classroom Research to Improve Teaching
Dr. John Newman
A wealth of information for the improvement of teaching is ordinarily
available as a result of normal educational activities. With some
relatively simple yet careful crafting, the value of this information can
be increased to a degree that permits a variety of uses, up to and
including basic research into disciplinary learning. Through participatory
exercises, this workshop will explore some of the possibilities and
potentials for collecting and interpreting what is there to be found in the
classroom.
