At Kognity, we are constantly developing our digital platform to support teachers with data informed instruction. The question assignments results page is a great feature developed to support you in this.
Ways to use the new assignments results page in your teaching practice:
Access detailed information on student performance
Easily find students who need additional support
Spot class trends in strong and weak content areas
The detailed information on student answers, response time, and question metadata provides you with valuable insight about your students’ content mastery and effort. These insights will allow you to target specific areas for improvement as you guide students on the path to academic success.
Let's dive in to learn more!
The Questions Tab
We can start by taking a look at the questions tab on the assignment results page. The information provided in class responses is a great tool for an end-of-unit review.
With no identifying student information, you can use this tab to go over assignment questions in class, showing students a holistic view of their results.
You can also scan this tab to identify problematic questions in front of your students and open the questions to discuss in class. Clicking on each question reveals the correct choices and answer explanations which you can show to your students after the discussion.
The Students Tab
The "Students" tab allows you to discover class trends or address late or unsubmitted work. By looking at these trends, you can take a more personalized and directed approach to support your students.
The data provided In the student tab of the assignments results page is a useful tool for identifying struggling students or challenging questions in your assignments.
You can also quickly see the timestamp of submitted work and can follow up with students on late or incomplete work with evidence.
The Students Tab - Individual Results
Clicking on an individual student's name gives you a variety of essential information for evaluating their performance.
You can view correct and incorrect student responses with the ability to see the full questions and answers if needed. The design of the responses allows you to clearly see which questions were incorrect, with the bold, darker text helping the answer stand out. With this view, you can compare your students’ answers to the correct response to see where the misconception lies.
Each question shows its metadata of unit, module, lesson, type, and number of times the student has received this question before, enabling you to see patterns in student answers and analyze the source of their struggles.
The length of completion time and the number of attempts per question shows the effort each student applied to their assignment, an important component in understanding their progress.
The Student Tab - Response Data
Kognity knows the importance of focusing on the biggest problems first to ensure the success of your students and has grouped responses accordingly.
Clicking on a question allows you to view groupings of all your students’ responses. The largest group of incorrect responses are placed first in the order so you can quickly see any problems or misconceptions and address them head-on. The second largest group comes next, and so on, with the correct responses at the bottom.
These grouped responses in the assignment results page can be useful in-class group work or discussion, where you can actively place students who responded correctly with students who responded incorrectly, encouraging peer-supported learning.
With details on student responses, response time, and class statistics, teachers can focus on specific areas of improvement, or celebrate students’ efforts and content mastery.
Let Kognity equip you with as much information on your students’ progress as possible so you can equip your students with the tools for success in your class!
