Classroom Research is the use of a variety of assessment techniques in any specific class to enable teachers to measure the effectiveness of their teaching. It is also intended to alert students to their own levels of learning. Various assessment techniques presented in CR provide means for ongoing feedback throughout the semester between teachers and learners.
Excitement is generated for both faculty and students when they work together to focus on learning.
CR should be neither mandated nor made part of a teacher-evaluation procedure. Context-specific Classroom Research is not intended to develop the way to teach anything. CR is intended to discover at what point a specific group of students is at in its learning process involving a specific unit of instruction. It is context-specific, what may work in one class may not necessarily work in another. Anonymous With Classroom Research, teachers are not trying to assess a specific student but, rather, are trying to determine what a group of students needs in order to continue in its learning process.
