Mosart Tests

Mosart Test

I like the effectiveness of the Mosart tests and how it can benefit both my students and me as a teacher. By having the multiple-choice tests it makes it simple and cuts out the gray area. Students may be thinking something closely related to a misconception and if they put down one of those misconceptions as an answer then you know what the student’s thinking could be. It keeps it quick and organized that way. I like that as a teacher I can focus on who put what and then be able to explore new possibilities for the kids that hopefully through this exploration they find the currently accepted answers on their own.

I also like that the tests aren’t just for a certain type of child. The tests would be good for any classroom because those who get it will still be challenged and those who don’t get it as well will easily show you that when you see their answers. No one is wasting his or her time and no one is getting left behind. I think that balance is what a teacher is looking for.
