Achievement vs. Learning
Can we achieve without learning?
Geoff told about his phd test writing class, they learned how to take tests and they had to get at least a B on every test across campus. They were achieving on the tests even though they were not learning the material
I think if we focus on learning first
and then on achievement second we can accomplish both
In order to actually learn we need to have the right motivations
I will focus on learning and growing in each of my classes
and if I do that I will naturally be achieving
I will promote learning to my students
for example a creative project to spark curiosity and desire
"creativity is intelligence having fun." -Albert Einstein
and then assess them
the evaluation could be based on their learning and achievement
evaluation - systematic determination of merit worth and significance of someone or something
assessment - documentation in measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs
