Lost in all of this, of course, is the value of learning. Do you think designing assessments and assignments that allow students to better demonstrate what they've learned would help?Tom McHalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14572624997013847201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513176.post-1122607151665290142005-07-28T23:19:00.000-04:002005-07-28T23:19:00.000-04:00I think the question that you pose--"how do we get...I think the question that you pose--"how do we get beyond the culture of grading to instill a love of learning?"--is an extremely important and difficult question. I'm a rising sophomore college student and since high school I have been struggling to both learn while maintaining a certain grade. I have uttered so many times in the last several years, "I wish I was given credit for just learning." For example, in college, the classes I'm taking are so interesting, yet the material is clouded by the nusance of a grade that effects my GPA, which is the only thing that matters in the long run. In high school, as your other posts suggest, the ultimate goal was getting a good GPA for college. The course material is often overshadowed, and unfortunately, I don't think this will change anytime soon, as higher education becomes more competitive.Rikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606611494947752804noreply@blogger.com
