The question this prototype seeks to answer is "what information do we need to provide teachers with so that they understand where their students are struggling".
Teachers get an overview of what skills need to be addressed in the near future by their urgency (the skills could be listed by their priority with more than one skill with the same priority or it could be in decreasing order of urgency).
On the section beneath, the individual skills are shown in relationship with the questions that address the skill and other skills related to the questions.
Assumptions
- Students use this once a week
- Phrasing of the 50 skills is understandable to the teachers.
Pros
- Teachers will get a sense of what skills need to be learned or practiced in relationship to the actual context, which is the problems and other skills that comprise those problems.
Cons
- The identified skills might belong to different steps within the problem solving path. For instance a skill would belong to step1 in test item#9, step 3 in item#27, and the final step in item#29 that all address the skill.
- Assistments catches one scaffold per problem. (need to clarify with client on what role the scaffold plays and where in the problem solving process it belongs)
- The identified skill would not necessarily be caught in the one scaffold (need to clarify with client)
