| Description | "As the name implies, this Classroom Assessment Technique focuses students’ attention on a single important term, name, or concept from a particular lesson or class session and directs them to list several ideas that are closely related to that “focus point".”

| | |
| Purpose | "Focused Listing is a tool for quickly determining what learners recall as the most important points related to a particular topic. It can help faculty assess how well students can describe or define a central point in a lesson, and it can begin to illuminate the web of concepts students connect with that point. Practicing this technique can help students learn to focus attention and improve recall." — Classroom Assessment Techniques, Angelo, TA and Cross, KP, 1993 |
