TEAC7094 Assessment 2 Report: Analysis of a Student Work Sample

TEAC7094 Assessment 2 Report: Analysis of a Student Work Sample
Remember to include a completed Cover Sheet for this task.

CONTEXT

• No set word count but should be included to support the rest of the assessment task
  discussions and analysis.
• Provide a brief background for the student interviewed to solve the problem. For
  example, gender, age, year/stage/other level.
• Include any other pertinent information that you think might assist in understanding
  the child that you have selected and are working with for the purposes of this
  assessment task.

PROBLEM AND SOLUTION (approx. 600 – 800 words)

• Solve the provided problem yourself in this section.
• The problem is outlined in the TEAC7094 Learning Guide in the Instructions: TASK
  OVERVIEW – TASK A SOLVE THE PROBLEM
• You must show at least 2 solutions to the problem.
• You are encouraged to provide a concrete, visual and abstract representation of the
  solution (i.e., 3 representations in total). Refer to the ‘Helpful Hints’ for some
  guidance on the CRA model.
• Use photos, drawings and/or diagrams, as well as numerical calculations.
• Explain in words how you solved the problem (both representations). This will
  indicate your understanding of the problem and demonstrate your reasoning.
  THEN,
• Implement the problem with a Stage 2 or 3 student. You must clearly indicate here or
  in the context the year level of the student that you have selected to interview for this
  task.
• Refer to the TEAC7094 Learning Guide for further information regarding if the
  problem is too difficult or too easy, and what to collect as you interview the child.
• Also, ensure that you have consent from the school and/or parent/carer/guardian.
  Refer to Assessment Zone folder for Assignment 2 folder in vUWS for a copy of the
  permission letter that must be signed. Note this does not need to be included in the
  report but if asked to show a copy you must have one available to support the
  assessment task.
  WORK SAMPLE & ANALYSIS (approx. 800-1000 words)
  Note: this section can be combined or written up separately.
• Introduce the child (give them a pseudo name), then use the evidence you have
  collected to write a report analysing the work samples, your observations and
  interview notes. Determine the student’s knowledge and thinking according to the
  NSW Mathematics K-6 syllabus (NESA, 2022).
• Reference both content and process (working mathematically) outcomes.
• Use current contemporary mathematics education literature and theory to support
  your analysis.

RECOMMENDATIONS (approx. 400 words)

• Describe three activities or pedagogical strategies that you would use to further
  develop your student’s mathematical thinking. Include a rationale, based on current
  literature and theory, for the activities you choose.
• Do not provide a full lesson plan – just a brief description.
• Describe the pedagogies you will use to implement these activities. Support these
  pedagogies with literature and theory.
• Ensure your recommendations address the issues and link to the needs of the
  student reported in the analysis.

CONCLUSION

• No set word count but should be included to support the rest of the assessment task
  discussions and analysis whilst wrapping up your ideas

REFERENCES

• Note that APA7 referencing must be used in-text and for the end reference list.
• Sources need to be 2000+
• Sources should be listed in alphabetical order with no use of bullet points in the end
  reference list.
  APPENDICES
• Include these on a new page of your assessment document write up.
• Note: if appendices are used then please refer to in the body of the report, as this is
  part of good presentation skills for academic work and assessment task write ups.

Appendix One: Annotated and coded interview transcript from working with the child

• Include a record of the transcript for your entire interview.
• Ensure you annotate anything of interest that relates to process or content
  outcomes.
• When using the NSW Mathematics K-6 syllabus (NESA, 2022) to code outcomes
  (content and process), you do not need to code your questions or statements, just
  the student’s responses and work sample completed.
• Use for examples the codes (SI 01, SI 02 etc.). For example:
  o SI = student interview
  o SO = student observation
  o TI = teacher interview
  o TO = teacher observation

Appendix Two: Annotated and coded work sample completed by the child

• Collect, organise, annotate and submit all student’s work samples that show their
  mathematical thinking as they investigate the problem.
• Annotate these with process and content outcomes. Code these work samples
  (WS01, WS02 etc). For example:
  o WS= work sample

Appendix Three: Annotated and coded observations from working with the child

• During the activity, record any observations that would be relevant to assessing the
  student’s thinking and achievement.
• Annotate these with process and content outcomes.
• Code these observations (0S1, OS2, etc.), so that they can be used to justify the
  achievement or non-achievement of the mathematical outcomes addressed in the
  analysis. For example:
  o OS = observation student
