Summary:Classroom Assessment Techniques offers faculty members a set of tools to identify what is working and what is not in their classrooms and the companion volume Classroom Research details a collaborative process for investigating teaching and learning issues. This process engages teachers in problem-based discussions, integrates their teaching experience with recent research and theory on learning, and gives examples of Classroom Assessment and Classroom Research projects that can be carried out in any classroom. It provides a pathway into "the scholarship of teaching."
Designed to be used by faculty members in groups and in workshops, Classroom Research's case method approach illustrates ways to think about a variety of common learning issues. The cases show students in the process of learning, clearly illustrate their problems and perceptions, and focus on long-term issues such as memory, motivation, deep and surface learning, metacognition, learning strategies, gender issues, intellectual development, and critical thinking. The authors designed the discussion questions to provoke a lively exchange of ideas and interpretations, and they show how faculty can acquire the critical knowledge - from research and literature as well as from students themselves - to determine some possible solutions
