pre-post-test weldi
Analysis:
Extremely low reading and comprehension levels. Was hard to keep everyone interested in the subject matter, because of the different levels of the students.
Results:
Average pre-test scores were 15.5% this much lower that last year. this is do to low reading skills, shown by accuplacer test. ther was a wide range of post-test scores but they still showed an average increase of 65% this was up. I guess there was a lot of room for improvement.
Changes:
Work more with the learning resource center to get the lower students up to the reading and learning levels that will help them perform better.
Continuance:
Lecture assignments and daily worksheets, followed by lab based on lecture material to fortify lessons.
Results of Prior Assessment:
Let students set own goals an to always encourage thier individual creativity. Let them progress at their own pace. All student do not progress at the same pace. Through trail and error they will learn.

pre-post-test
Analysis:
Pretest provides instructor and student with information on the level of competencies students are currently able to preform. The Post test measures gain in each of the areas and is helpful in assessing areas where students will need help or reteaching of any part of the course. Interview assessment is very valuable in determining student comprehension of presented material. Most students are more comfortable discussing subjects and providing information verbally than they are writing information.
Results:
Pre-post-test will provide information needed to evaluate learning prossess and structure to progressivly to teach needed skills to student.
Changes:
I will investigate other ways of assessing students that may be more user friendly and provide more accurate information on the students in order for me to maximize my support in thier learnig.
Continuance:

Pre-Test & Post-Test
Analysis:
This year was a very challenging year, I had a full class, and a mix of students at different levels, some very low and some that challenged me. I had several students that could not take tests but knew the subject matter. I had to work with them more one on one. It was a great feeling for both them and me when they started believing that they could do the work and the progress was there.
Results:
Average entry pre-test scores were 34%,just about the same as last year. This was testing 11 full time students. Post-test scores were up to 70%, a 36% increase. This is lower than last year but was expected. I had several students with very low reading skills.
Changes:
I`m going to try a knew program put out by Lincoln Electric that is on Disk and is very user friendly. It has quizs and test and work sheets. This should help some students and also free up more time for me to work more with students in need.
Continuance:
The most important thought in my mind is that all teachers are always looking for knew ways of reaching out to each and every student. The ability to adapt and change to knew ideas. Keeping up with current technology, listening to what students needs are and trying to meet their requests.
Results of Prior Assessment:
Try to let students set thier own goals and to always encourage their individual creativity. Also let students learn from their mistakes, they will not make them twice.

Pre-test, Post-test- Welding skills test
Analysis:
I think that each year of students are always going to be a challange for teachers. We must adapt and change our teaching style to accommadate each and every student to the best of our abillity so that they get the most out of their experience.
Results:
Pre-test, Post-test,hands on welding,Average entry pre-test scores were 36%, up from last year. Several students had prior training in high school. Post-test scores averaged 80%. This was a 44% increase. less than last semester. Tests and quiz score averages were also lower than last years. Students seamed to struggle more this year with the paper work than in the past years.
Changes:
I learned this year that some students need more hands on or visual training during the lecture. Each student must complete a series of welds for each class. There is a weld sign off sheet that I have kept for the last few years. As a student completes a weld I assess that weld and grade them on it. It is recorde on this sheet. This year I required the students to be in control of this paperwork and it worded better. Not only did it give them a responsibility but I saw a need to compete with each other and compare scores and techniques.
Continuance:
I think its the ability for me to keep an open mind, learn from each student and to change and adapt.
Results of Prior Assessment:
Keep short term goals and let the students be more in control of their progress. Keep in touch with prior students, have them return to encourage students about jobs and pay scales. This enforces me and encouages students to succeed.

Pre-Post-Test
Analysis:
Students were able to understand terms and definitions as well as component and part identification.
Results:
Post Test results indicate significant gain in skills, knowledge and understanding of terms and applications of studied material in Diesel Mechanics.
Changes:
No changes are being considered at this time.
Continuance:
Identifying learning styles early in the semester at the beginning of the training period are necessary to provide adequate delivery of material and subject matter in ways that students can understand concepts. Students will re-train in any area that competencies are below average to provide sufficient exposure of material and allow students to succeed in learning the subject. Pre-Post-Test will be kept in the curriculum.

pre test post test , Skills evaluation
Analysis:
All students progress at different speeds and some take longer to aquire a skill level. Grades in welding are a combination of academic & hands on welding skills. Some students may be book smart but may not have the hand eye coordination to ever become a certified welder.
Results:
Average entry pre-test scores were 18%. There was no High School training prior to this class. This was down from last years scores. Post-test scores averaged 85.33. An increase of 67.33% which is up from last years increase of 61%.
Changes:
Some day I would like to see the program become longer. I feel that if some students have that extra semester they would have the time to become beter welders.
Continuance:
Continue with the sign-off sheets. this lets students see thier progress in little steps. Maybe more hands on work on projects in the shop. More freedom to work on thier projects.
Results of Prior Assessment:
More Lab vs. Lecture Better moral, happy students Break up lab with small shorter lectures.

pre-test, post-test, welding skills evaluation, Interview
Analysis:
After interviewing students my conclusion as to why the average entry test scores were slightly down is because most of the students had no prior training in high school.
Results:
Pre-test (written) Average entry test scores were 26%. Down from last falls 31.2%. Post-test scores averaged 87.6%. An average increase of 61%.
Changes:
Instructor/student communication must be on-going. I will continue to monitor each student individually with the Weld Skill Evaluation Sign-off Sheet. I will continue to meet each student`s needs on an individual basis.
Continuance:
Fabrication & hands-on projects will continue to be used daily. Students will continue to weld in their booths to attain the required skill levels.
Results of Prior Assessment:
Students are allowed to work on their own projects which are more directed towards their desired occupational field. Fabrication & hands-on projects contributed to the students desires to succeed & improve their current skills.

A pre-test is given at the beginning of the class, quizs, tests, and pre-determined welding skills must be achieved to progress in the class.
Analysis:
I witness students on a daily basis, from the time they enter the lab to completion of the bend test. Each weld they make is graded and signed off on a sign-off sheet. I see progress each day, and this is recorded by a paper trail in percentages.
Results:
As each student progresses he, she must make a number of welds in pre-determined positions. They must aquire a skill level to industrial standards to progess in the program. Each weld is visually inspected and mechanically tested.
Changes:
Welding is a skill that is attained by many long hours of practice, it also requires great hand, eye cordination and depth perception. Each student will progress at different rates and acquire or reach a certain level in a given time period. Not all students are going to become x-ray pipe welders or do they want to. I like to evaluate each student as an individual and accordingly to their individual goals.
Continuance:
Communication between Instructors and students is very important and must always remain open. Each student has different goals and in the field of welding there is many different types of welding processes or employment opportunities that each can seek.
Results of Prior Assessment:
Students are happy and they see improvement daily, and they are more in control of their progress.
