Description

*THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THE ASSIGNMENT.

BOTH PARTS MUST BE COMPLETED ON DIFFERENT WORD DOCUMENTS*

PART 1

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words EACH

  • What changes need to be made to a multiple-choice test to make it more reflective of the progress students have made in an integrated thematic unit?
  • What are some other ways to see how the class is doing in your interdisciplinary theme study?
  • How would an assessment through a culminating activity show student learning and an understanding of theme study?
  • What could these assessments tell you about the actual theme study itself?

PART 2

Create a theme study using components of interdisciplinary inquires. This theme must incorporate at least two disciplines--arts, math, language arts, science, social science, physical education--and the following components:

  • Big ideas: Generalizations, principles, laws, or theorems that meet the criteria:
  • It is true over space and time.
  • It may broaden the students' understanding of the world and what it means to be human.
  • It is interdisciplinary.
  • It may lead to student inquiry.
  • Questions that drive inquiry: The depths of the questions are in proportion to the interdisciplinary inquiry. Therefore, they should include higher- and lower-thinking orders and processes, including the use of logic, critical thinking, and creating new questions (sub-questions) from what was learned.
  • Appropriate resources: Print, interviews, field sites, artifacts, visual, audio, experiments, and computer technology
  • Learning activities: Ways to explore the questions in age-appropriate standards
  • Learning Outcomes:
  • Factual content learned: Did they get the big idea?
  • Processes and skills to be developed: Did the big idea engage intelligences and modes of inquiry?
  • Intellectual and effective mentalities: Does the big idea develop thinking skills and habits?

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

An integrated thematic unit incorporates the organization of a given educational
curriculum into several themes. It also integrates normal disciplines such as science, community
study, river and rainforest studies, reading/English, mathematics and many others. The use of a
multiple choice test is the best way of determining whether a student is understanding the
concept being taught or not. In an integrated thematic unit, there are different disciplines/themes
being covered. Assessing the student to determine whether they are getting along very well is a
key issue that should be done with a lot of care. In order to make a multiple choice test more
reflective of the progress students have made in an integrated thematic unit, the questions should
be cover all the topics/themes being covered. Also, ...
