    Hi I am Melissa. I am pretty new to Twitter and studying to become a teacher. #asechat
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:02 PM EDT
    What is more important: Subject content or exam technique? #asechat
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:02 PM EDT
    Ad homs? we are #asechat - we don't do ad homs on here - we are the reputable arm of edutwit!!

  • Melissa58067020 May 1 @ 3:03 PM EDT
    I think subject content. #ASEChat

    subject content #asechat
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:04 PM EDT
    #ASEChat I am a student at the university of Minnesota and I am in this chat for an assignment and kinda want to get a feel of the content
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:05 PM EDT
    What about problems with students knowing the content, but being unable to decode the question? #asechat
    In reply to @S_T1ngT
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:06 PM EDT
    Welcome Kelvin! It may be a bit of an awkward chat to sit in on. We are a bit thin on the ground due to a public hol in the UK #asechat
    In reply to @KCRydah
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:06 PM EDT
    this is a bit of a one off tonight I think because it is bank holiday here in uk #asechat
    In reply to @KCRydah
  • Melissa58067020 May 1 @ 3:06 PM EDT
    I think there are lots of different ways that students can deonstrate their knowledge of the content and not just in a test. #asechat
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:07 PM EDT
    But, with the exams 5 weeks away, it is the test that matters. #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:08 PM EDT
    to me most important is teaching sci for understanding so that all can engage throughout their lives whatever they chose to do #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist, @S_T1ngT
  • aegilopoides May 1 @ 3:08 PM EDT
    Good question. Content obviously important but I have students who really struggle with exam technique & can't work out what to do #ASEChat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    #ASEChat thank you all for the welcomes, just wanted to inform you that I'm using my cousin kelvins account for this, my name is actually..
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    Describes my Yr 11. Walking talking mocks seem to be helping, but I tend to get blank faces when I ask 'what is this Q asking' #asechat
    In reply to @aegilopoides
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    we need to make more noise at govt level of problem of high stakes assessment #asechat
    In reply to @aegilopoides, @TFScientist
  • Melissa58067020 May 1 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    Yes, I have had many students in my classrooms that have had severe test anxiety but do know the content. #asechat
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:10 PM EDT
    #ASEChat Reggie Lynch and I can't tweet form my actual account which is @Air_Regiinald cause I play basketball for the university
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:10 PM EDT
    At this time of year exam technique, however revise the content using it #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • teachingofsci May 1 @ 3:10 PM EDT
    #asechat important to whom, and when? In theory, exam score should reflect SKU. In practice...
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:11 PM EDT
    High stakes testing seems to have been the focus of the last two govts #asechat
    In reply to @oboelizzy, @aegilopoides
  • S_T1ngT May 1 @ 3:11 PM EDT
    So how about problems with students as test machine can demonstrate high scores, but lack of knowing subject manners? @TFScientist #asechat
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:11 PM EDT
    There's a huge problem with students having no idea what the questions want! #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist, @S_T1ngT
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:12 PM EDT
    OK. Q2 - How do we cover/recover content in these last few weeks before public exams #asechat
  • LessonToolbox May 1 @ 3:12 PM EDT
    Love this Anatomical "tattoos" starter from @TandLFactory #asechat #biology #ukedchat #pedagoofriday

  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:13 PM EDT
    Not with terminal exams set by the exam boards starting in 15 days I'm afraid #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020, @TFScientist
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:14 PM EDT
    It is a different system in the UK. All 15/16yr olds will take 12-20 public exams at the end of year 11 (High School). #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    Think SATs but not multiple choice and across up to 13 subjects in a 6 week period. #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020
  • Melissa58067020 May 1 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    Curious are terminal exams specific to the UK? #asechat

    A2 I do one lesson content revision using revision tasks & games followed by a lesson going through an exam paper #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:17 PM EDT
    What is your favourite way to recover content? How do you rapidly cover any material not yet taught? #asechat
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:17 PM EDT
    #ASEChat my main field of interest is real estate after basketball but I do wish to see the viewpoints on this discussion as well
  • Melissa58067020 May 1 @ 3:18 PM EDT
    Are you familiar with the game KAHOOT? We have used that here as review of material #ASEChat
  • allchet94 May 1 @ 3:18 PM EDT
    We have a huge bank of mcqs for year 13 atm to complement other work- invaluable for ingraining vast subject content #asechat
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:19 PM EDT
    Used KAHOOT but the premade stuff is rubbish IMO. Need to spend time making your own quizzes using the software #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:19 PM EDT
    I like playing games with them but as far as content it's important to get your long term planning right to leave revision time #asechat

    Newspaper headline for peer assessed QWC via @Pulzlad19 #ukedchat #asechat #aussieEd
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:20 PM EDT
    Often a luxury - particularly if teaching A level with just 4hours per week #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:20 PM EDT
    #ASEChat haha you can understand, I will admit I was never the greatest in science classes and I do want to know how you teach it over in UK
    In reply to @oboelizzy
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:21 PM EDT
    Which is more important: thorough initial teaching with no revision time at all Skim initial teaching with some time for revision #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:21 PM EDT
    Should we focus more on early KS3 to ensure that by the time students reach yr11 they have strong understanding of fundamentals? #asechat
  • aegilopoides May 1 @ 3:22 PM EDT
    I've covered common areas and those identified by exam board/ class as areas of weakness. Then try Q's. #ASEChat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:22 PM EDT
    #ASEChat if I struggled learning in on the US maybe it has something to do with the cultural aspects of how it is taught ?
  • Melissa58067020 May 1 @ 3:23 PM EDT
    Sadly in the school I am in now, an elementary school, they only do science once a week...how do you pass high stakes tests then? #ASEChat
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:23 PM EDT
    #ASEChat what issues are those
    In reply to @oboelizzy
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:23 PM EDT
    I couldn't agree more, we get 5 and it's still not enough! #asechat

  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:24 PM EDT
    @aegilopoides Which is more useful: In depth teacher marking; Peer assessment; Self assessment Assume all do corrections #asechat

  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:24 PM EDT
    can I just say it is really great to have international colleagues joining us tonight #asechat
  • teachingofsci May 1 @ 3:24 PM EDT
    #asechat sorry, duty calls. Will drop back in later depending on kids.
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:24 PM EDT
    Plus, the AS exams and AS study leave eat into time to cover A2 content and Prac Endorsement #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:25 PM EDT
    Teaching it properly first time round with well structured HW & flipped learning ect #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:25 PM EDT
    I think you need to look at it over a 3 year period #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020, @TFScientist
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:26 PM EDT
    although I have to say I was dead impressed with what I have learnt so far about your NGSS-streets ahead of us at mo #asechat
    In reply to @KCRydah
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:26 PM EDT
    Often a problem in primary schools. English and Mathematics take priority #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020
  • aegilopoides May 1 @ 3:26 PM EDT
    I've used a mix of teacher/self assessment. Important for them to understand what will gain marks but it takes time to train them. #ASEChat
    In reply to @TFScientist, @oboelizzy
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:27 PM EDT
    As a school we've decided not to do AS exams so don't need as much revision time for mocks, the pracs do take time though #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:27 PM EDT
    If you operate a 3 year KS4... #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1, @Melissa58067020
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:27 PM EDT
    What is NGSS? #ASEChat
    In reply to @oboelizzy
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:28 PM EDT
    Firmly part of our future unfortunately. Kids say they don't count or matter, and failing AS does not = removal from course #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:28 PM EDT
    I think the KS3 curriculum needs to be based loosely on the GCSE specification #asechat
    In reply to @oboelizzy
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:30 PM EDT
    Should the curriculum be based on the assessment? #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:30 PM EDT
    Half way through #asechat on Bank Holiday Monday! We are discussing revision. Q3: How do we teach/sharpen exam technique?
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:30 PM EDT
    I think most schools have gone that way #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist, @Melissa58067020
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:31 PM EDT
    ...I'd settle for the assessment being based on the curriculum... #cynic #asechat
    In reply to @oboelizzy, @teacherchalky1
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:31 PM EDT
    #ASEChat any chance you can enlighten me on what it's all about? Maybe I am and just don't know it
    In reply to @oboelizzy
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:31 PM EDT
    I'd rather crack o with the content to leave more time at the end of Y13 #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:31 PM EDT
    Isnt that the wrong way round? tail wagging dog? #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:32 PM EDT
    True. But there are still those that don't My current has a 2yr 1 term KS3. GCSE starts in Nov. For some subjects. Yr 10 for others #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1, @Melissa58067020

  • aegilopoides May 1 @ 3:33 PM EDT
    they annotate Q's with what Q is asking eg no. marks, command words, keywords. Have a command word wheel to check definitions #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:33 PM EDT
    Yup. But SLT think it matters 'for oxbridge' #asechat
    In reply to @teacherchalky1
  • allchet94 May 1 @ 3:33 PM EDT
    Work backwards from a mark scheme to figure out what the question is and in particular what the command word is #asechat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • teacherchalky1 May 1 @ 3:33 PM EDT
    unfortunately in a world with progress measures, and wages connected to results, yes #asechat

      In reply to @TFScientist
  • oboelizzy May 1 @ 3:34 PM EDT
    I disagree completely-decide what is important to teach then think about appropriate measurement and it might not be test #asechat
    In reply to @Melissa58067020, @teacherchalky1
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:34 PM EDT
    What are other's favourite exam technique activities? #asechat Don't forget the hashtag!

    Weirdly, we are hoping cost pressures will remove the AS exam. SLT are quite adamant the AS remains, and is a USP of the college. #asechat

    How do you cover both at the same time? #asechat
  • MrsSuperSTEM May 1 @ 3:40 PM EDT
    All of it! Timing practice, modelling, going through papers with examiners report. Being an examiner really helps me help them #ASEChat
    In reply to @TFScientist
  • KCRydah May 1 @ 3:41 PM EDT
    #ASEChat off topic but how popular was the inbetweeners show over in the U.K. Cause it's hilarious but not very popular over here

  • MrsSuperSTEM May 1 @ 3:42 PM EDT
    Agree, that would be the focus from the start up to now. From now on, should be about application to exam questions. #ASEChat
    In reply to @allchet94, @TFScientist
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:44 PM EDT
    Should the focus, particularly on the older students be on Exam Tech, with an assumption that the kids 'should know it by now' #asechat

    I know, I feel for them having to 'get through' 20+ exams in 5 weeks, let alone the science department ones #ASEChat

    Same here.eg My bottom set Y11s. They can "know" something really well, but then look at a question and go completely off track #asechat

    we often take exam question, list the stuff they know,look again at the Q, decide what Q is asking/ how to approach it, then answer #asechat

    Completely agree. Answer as many Qs as you possibly can! Repetition is the absolute best tool IMO in build up! #ASEChat

    Looks like we are out of time. So let's review some of the nuggets in tonight's #asechat
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:56 PM EDT
    1. Content is King, but useless without being able to access the exam question. Must balance exam technique and subj knowl. #asechat
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:57 PM EDT
    2. Use mark schemes to build questions, use past papers to practice, mark questions, define command words #asechat
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:58 PM EDT
    3. @GetKahoot and other digital devices, as well as games, can be used to cover content quickly and in a 'fun' way #asechat
  • TFScientist May 1 @ 3:58 PM EDT
    Summary sheets and mindmaps are also useful here #asechat
  • NgeeOg May 1 @ 3:58 PM EDT
    #asechat pre and post unit reflection may help to link topics and aid mastery https://t.co/C7r2HiHZjo

    4. Keep telling them to believe in themselves. Revision is personal. Focus on small sections, use multimedia and the web #asechat
