This question is of interest to specialists in curricula and teaching methods
Indubitably, a post lecture assessment can be of great value because it provides the lecturer with a solid index which can help him understand the extent to which the objectives of the lecture are realized by the targeted audience.
I conduct assessment test at the end of the lecture once in a while to ascertain their level of understanding. It also encourage the students to pay more attention during the lecture.
In the classroom, I think that a better form of "test" is discussion, as opposed to some sort of quiz.
On the other hand, when I teach online, I do use quizzes simply to hold the students responsible for reading the chapter and listening to my video lecture. Usually no more than 10 questions.
In presenting the lecture in the classroom, tests have always been given in a variety of ways that measure the efficiency of presenting the topic in an interesting and flexible way that takes into account individual differences, but in electronic lectures, the end-of-lecture test was somewhat specific.
Assessment tests done after a lecture is always formative on my part. We assess their level of understanding regarding the topic, determine if there are concepts they failed to understand at the same time evaluate if your manner of delivering the lecture is something that contributes to achieve the outcomes.
I always give some kind s of evaluation on the content discussed, or furtherance of the discourse
نعم أجري اختبار تقييم للطلبة في نهاية المحاضرة وفي نهاية الفصل الدراسي
I think it is very opportune to do a test at the end of each class, this allows us to monitor the learning of the students and also to introduce changes in the strategy used for teaching based on the results of the test. But, we must take into account that the test is not the only instrument, it can also be active intervention of the students in oral expositions where they give their arguments and explanations necessary to a given. The inverted classroom strategy can also be used, where students also have the opportunity to present their arguments from a scientific point of view.
Yes, I do. I tell the students at the start of class that they will be providing me with a "Ticket Out" at the end of class/lecture. I may ask a question(s) for clarity or to assess their level of understanding on the information presentation or a portion of it. As my colleague above has stated and I agree that this "encourages the students to pay more attention during the lecture."
Thank you to all the researchers who participated in the discussion.. These answers will help me a lot in the field of academic work
Yes, Assessment is needed. I do it, but not always. In some lectures it is not feasible.
