Reflection
The growth students showed between taking the Pre-test and the Post-test were
phenomenal! The single highest score on the Pre-test was a 66% while on the Post-test it was a
100%. Three of the eighteen student completed the Post-test with a perfect score, showing that
multiple students grew to the maximum amount possible regarding the questions. Additionally,
the lowest score on the Pre-test was a 0% but on the Post-test the lowest score was a 6%. This
shows that even the students who failed the pre-test grew a lot from where they started.
Perhaps the most significant number is the average (mean) score that the class scored on
the Pre-test compared to the Post-test. The Pre-test average was a 23%(3.5/15). This number told
us that some students did know some of the more well-known terms, while other students had
never encountered them before. The Post-test average shot up to an 81% (12.2/15). This means
the class average increased by a whopping 58%. That is an incredible amount of growth and this
can be more concretely viewed in the bar graph above.

Overall, I was very impressed and almost astonished at how well students did
comparatively from the Pre-test to the Post-test. I expected growth, but many students exceeded
my expectations. I thought that these two tests aligned with the objectives of the unit and they
showed the result of good note-taking habits, as well as the incredible effect that informal
comprehension checks can have while reading a text. I believe students were encouraged by their
Post-test scores and for many of them, it will hopefully give them the confidence going forward
for the rest of the year to not fear tests, but to embrace them as a means of showing what they
know.
