Part C - Independent Practice with Formative Feedback
Importance of Practice
Practice using newly learned skills is an essential part of learning. It is also vital in maintaining skills that were previously learned. If regular practice is not maintained, these acquired skills will rapidly deteriorate.
Practice questions help the student obtain mastery of the objective. Students can focus on problematic areas and get remedial help on items that cause confusion. The practice questions allow teachers ample opportunity to provide corrective feedback to keep learners focused and on track.
Skills and Subskills
When students are introduced to a new objective, they are exposed to any new vocabulary and all variations of the topic. Looking at questions from different perspectives allows the student to increase his skill level and get a better grasp and understanding of the objective.
