TASK DESIGNING

TASK DESIGNING

Thoughtful development of activities that students will

engage in to experience the learning process and to
demonstrate their growing understanding of core
concepts.
SOME GENERALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS FOR DESINGNING A TASK
INCLUDE;

 Identifying an activity that would highlight the competencies to be evaluated,

e.g reciting a poem, writing an essay, manipulating the microscope etc.

 Identifying an activity that would entail more or less the same sets of
competencies. If an activity would have difficulty assessing the student’s
competency on task.

 Finding a task that would be interesting and enjoyable for the students. Task
such as writing an essay are often boring and cumbersome for the students.
