Next Steps
Following the assessment, a teacher might:
- Use the questionnaire to look for areas where understanding is already present, for areas of confusion or naïve conception, and for areas of interest, so that they can shape their instruction in the ensuing lessons.
- Save the questionnaire so that students themselves can compare their introductory and final questionnaires and assess their progress.
