Misconceptions Presentation Pluses & Wishes

Misconceptions Presentation Pluses & Wishes

The following feedback was created by myself in response to the Misconceptions presentations completed in class for the Spring of 2018. In these presentations, the students were asked to come up with common misconceptions that students might have about subjects in science and they were to come up with ways to dodge these misconceptions and teach to them! My peers and my group did an excellent job in creating hands on learning experiences and learning objectives to aid in the student's misconceptions about science. Through this project we learned how to make proper learning objectives for our students through the many different types of science subjects! View below to see my positive feedback and wishes for my peers' presentations.

Group 2:

Kelly, Bailey, and Megan

3 Pluses:

1. I liked that you used hands on opportunities for the students to learn about these misconceptions.
2. I loved that your group was so open to criticism from Dr. Smirnova and the audience.
3. I loved that you thought comprehensively about what you could fix about your objectives and finding your own mistakes that you made. This is how you learn! :)

1 Wish:

1. I wish you had specified the conditions in each of your objective therefore it made it easier for your group to remember the purpose of the lesson that you were preparing because it would have made it easier for you to fix the objectives.

Group 3:

Cierra, Cassandra, and Ganny

3 Pluses:

1. I liked that you had the opportunity to go back to your own objectives in order to fix them before presenting! You presented a strong front.
2. I liked that you used different types of lessons for your objectives (e.g. direct instruction, inquiry, cooperative learning)
3. I enjoyed your misconceptions, I believe these misconceptions are genuinely aligned with what students are thinking.

1 Wish:

1. I wish you added links of different Venn diagrams that you might use for the tasks that you are giving the students to give us a visual of what you want the learning outcome to be.

Group 4:

James and Tara

3 Pluses:

1. I liked the activities that you involved in your objectives, I think they were great hands on activities to keep the students involved in the learning process!
2. I enjoyed that you were so flexible with fixing your objectives and that you worked together to solve the problems that you had.
3. I enjoyed that you connected links in your objectives therefore we could click on them and view what your lesson is trying to capture with the learning goal.

1 Wish:

1. I wish that you were revising your objectives during other people's lessons based off of the changes that they were making considering you were the very last group to go.
