Assess Performance

At this point in problem-based learning, you reflect on your performance throughout the first six steps. If you are working with others, you also have an opportunity here to assess the effectiveness of your group's work together.

It is also important to assess the problem and the helps that are part of Into the New Testament for how well they provided you with the opportunity to learn and practice exegetical skills. You will complete this part of your assessment at intersection .

Assess Using Primary Skill's Objectives

You will probably use more than one exegetical skill as you work on any one problem. However, each Into the New Testament problem is written with a primary exegetical skill in view, and each exegetical skill lesson has its own list of learning objectives.

At the end of your work on a problem, you will be directed to the appropriate list of objectives for the problem you have just been solved, and you will assess your own learning as a result of your work through the problem. Using an Into the New Testament survey, you will be able to score your learning on a scale of one to five for each objective.

Assess Using PBL Intersections

A second Into the New Testament survey will help you rate how well you (and your group, if applicable) performed at each step of the PBL process. Maybe your problem-solving was going well until you had to settle on one solution. Maybe you were derailed early because your statement of the problem was unclear. Maybe you were great information-gatherers. This short assessment tool provides a way for you to assess the problem-solving process at each of its steps.

Assess Using Standards Rubric

As you work through problems here, you may be helped to assess your performance by looking at the rubric for assessment of Into the New Testament learning.
