Description of Presentation:

This session draws on 114 videos of oral assessments (38 students, 3 exams each) from a number and operations course for pre-service elementary teachers taught in two sections at at large research university. We are using this video data to address the following questions: 1. What student learning gains do we observe taking place during an oral assessment? 2. What characteristics of this assessment format support the learning gains we observe? In this interactive session, participants will watch selected video clips and discuss how one recognizes and characterizes learning opportunities, specifically in the context of oral assessments in math content courses for preservice elementary teachers.
