Learning Menu Refinement in Mathematics Content Courses for Prospective Elementary Teachers: A Data-Based Approach
Mon, October 27, 4:30 to 5:30pm, Penn Stater Conference Center, Floor: Main Level, Deans HallDescription
Learning menus are differentiated assessments that present students with a set of tasks aligned with specific learning goals. Students complete a subset of the menu tasks, selecting tasks aligned with their interests, readiness levels, or preferred learning styles. This study aims to address the research question, In what ways can student responses to a learning menu assignment inform strategies for the refinement of learning menu design? The researcher examined data associated with a learning menu assignment used with prospective elementary teachers in a mathematics content and methods course. By examining the frequency at which menu options were selected, as well as the quality of student responses to those items, the researcher developed general heuristics to inform learning menu design and refinement.
