Two MAJOR sources of Clarity

Two MAJOR sources of Clarity

• The major advantages of such objectives is that they promote increased clarity regarding educational intents, wheras vague and unmeasurable objectives yield considerable ambiguity and, as a consequence, the possibility of many interpretations not only of what the objective means but, perhaps more importantly, whether it has been accomplished.- Popham

Jonnason, 2008 p71

» [The] simple activity of placing their work on the Internet for public access inspires many students to take their work more seriously and to engage in a level of reflection about their work that is otherwise rare. It will also cause them to write with a purpose, to think critically about what they write, to read what others have produced, and to compare their own work to the work of others.
