The class is 90 minutes.  There are two mini sessions before we do the major Application exercise. The first session had 5 questions and they breezed through those pretty quickly.  If I could do 10 per mini I probably will.  I find it hard to address all of the important concepts even when I double up in a single question with just 10 total questions.  Also, there were some students who got only 1 out of 5 correct.  With 10 questions I could through in 2 lower-level definition questions. 

Overall, I'm liking the approach but I was just so surprised with the outcome today.

Hello,

I have similar questions to Karla and wonder also about the volume/type/alignment of preparation work?  I also wonder if you found your sweet spot for the number of RAP questions the first time around?

A single class period for my program is 3 hours; I am guessing yours may not be – do you have an hour?

Best,

Liz

Hi Herbert,

 

Would it be possible to share your learning outcomes, RAT questions, and application exercise (offline if you're worried about test security)?  I'd be better able to provide suggestions if I knew a bit more about what you were doing.  Karla

So I experimented with the Mini TBL process where in a single class period students complete a short iRAT, T-RAT, any appeals, I review every question. Then they do an application exercise.  The first one went ok.  I just forgot to give them a 15 min time limit on the application exercise and one team spent way too much time researching their answer. 

 

On the second try I decided to increase the number of questions from 5 to 7.  I have several students get none or only 1 correct.  The highest score was 4/7.  I had provided them with a review that told them what to focus on and yet this was the result. 

 

Needless to say their T-RAT scores were lower as well but for most items they got it correct on the second try. 

 

When this happens class wide I can't help but feel I did something wrong. Any thoughts?
