Resource Type:

Description: 

This project  investigated whether a more nuanced approach to weekly digital diagnostic assessments for GCSE Mathematics Resit classes would improve learner motivation and confidence.

Taxonomy: 
Practitioner Research and Evidence Hub: 
Yes
Principal focus of the project: 

The aim of this project was to explore the extent to which employing diagnostic assessment as a core aspect of online delivery prior to classes would be beneficial to GCSE Maths Resit students. 

What is this about and what were the main findings: 

The team used Google Classroom with a 5-step delivery model and Hegarty Maths, a self-assessment website, incorporated into the learning. Google Forms were used to produce weekly diagnostic and end-of-session mini exams, and applications such as Google Slides, Pear Deck, Jamboard and Maths Bot for pace and variety. Learner voice was captured from a small cohort, including both study programme learners and post-19 learners, which led to the team introducing hinge questions. The project reported that this approach had been largely positive with students engaging with the materials.
