| Purpose | "This technique gives students and teachers explicit, detailed information on the ways in which students carry out a representative assignment. This diagnostic information can be used to help students pinpoint problems in their methods of working and, ultimately, improve them. Specific information on students’ ways of doing homework also shows faculty which elements of the process are most difficult for students and, consequently, where teachers need to offer more instruction and direction." — Classroom Assessment Techniques, Angelo, TA and Cross, KP, 1993 |
