How do we encourage students to take responsibility for their learning if they don't set their goals or objectives? How do I prioritise learning over grades if their only goal is a high grade?
Student-designed assessments and personalised learning are two popular trends in education that often come across as complicated and overwhelming for many educators. It is difficult to know where to begin especially if your class is a traditional presentation, production and practice (ppp) class format. However a slight shift in focus from what "the teacher expects me to know" to "what I need to learn" can have suprising effects. For the APAC 2023 Moving On Up! Conference, 5 ESOs classes from different schools in catalyuna created student-designed assessments using a simple guide, with very interesting results!
