Inventory

I agree with the results of the Inventory. I prefer Learner-Centered assessment. It is important to know what the students do well in and what they have not succeeded in. We should also raise questions about teaching strategies and curriculum that we use and understand how to assess learning in a useful way.

In Teacher-Centered learning:
1) Teaching and assessing are separate.
2) The Instructor's role is to be primary information giver and primary evaluator.
3) Assessment is used to monitor learning.
4) Emphasis is on the right answers.
5) Desird learning is assessed indirectly through the use of objectively scored tests.
6)Only students are viewed as learners.
In Learner-Centered learning:
1) Teaching and assessing are intertwined.
2) The Instructor's role is to coach and facilitate. The Instructor and the students evaluate learning together.
3)Assessment is used to promote and diagnose learning.
4) Emphasis is on generating better questions and learning from errors.
5) Desired learning is assessed directly through papers, projects, performances, portfolios, etc.
6) Instructors and students learn together.
