Task 2 Learning Activity and Assessments

The learning cycle has been understood for decades and is accepted as a superior form of instruction over that of passive models of instruction; however, all forms of instruction have the potential to leave student misconceptions unanswered.

Scenario:

You have a class of 25 ninth-grade students in a general science class. You are asked to develop a learning activity for this class that utilizes the learning cycle and includes a formative assessment.

Task:
A. Create a learning activity for the given scenario on a science topic of your choice that implements the BSCS learning cycle model.
1. Explain how the learning activity addresses each step of the BSCS learning cycle from engagement to evaluation.
2. Predict potential student misconceptions about the topic.
a. Describe how a formative assessment could identify these misconceptions.
b. Explain what you could do to resolve these misconceptions.
3. Create a pre-test and post-test to demonstrate that scientific knowledge is gained and/or corrected. Submit both tests as part of this task.
a. Explain how you would analyze the data from the pre-test and post-test to monitor and adjust future teaching.

Note: The pre-test and the post-test can be the same assessment tool. If this is the case, there is no need to submit the same test twice. Simply provide that information with your submission.

B. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Note: When bulleted points are present in the task prompt, the level of detail or support called for in the rubric refers to those bulleted points.

Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the Rubric Terms web link included in the Evaluation Procedures section.

Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.

Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the APA Guidelines section.
