Keeping a markbook has been an integral part of a teacher's work since for a long time. Is an electronic markbook an accurate copy of its paper "predecessor"? It all depends on whose hands it falls into.
The efficiency of a teacher's work is enhanced by utilizing all the features of a markbook including the automation of routine processes. For example, in a our markbook, topics for a lesson can be automatically added from a thematic plan, and the subject's weighted average score can be calculated. Using AI, it is possible to write about a child based on data entered in the markbook. A markbook provides an analysis of the current learning process in the form of clear tables and graphs and gives a complete picture of students' performance at the end of the academic period.
How can the process of filling out a markbook be made competent, and the markbook itself a reliable assistant to the teacher?
The process includes the following stages:
- Preparation of the markbook for filling.
- Entering parameters of the academic year with holidays;
- Entering a list of study groups;
- Entering a grading system;
- Compiling and entering a schedule;
- Entering a catalog of different forms of work in class and determining their "weight."
-
Adding a thematic plan for the academic year.
-
Designating the lesson topic, assigning homework for a chosen date with the possibility of submitting work through the markbook.
-
Recording absences and tardiness.
-
Choosing one or more forms of work in class.
-
Assigning grades, adding comments to them.
-
Displaying all information in the student and parent personal account.
-
Receiving a comprehensive analytical report on keeping a markbook in school.
What reports on the markbook does the school administrator see:
- Summary of academic performance;
- Students without final grades, by subject;
- Students' ranking;
- Filling the markbook by school teachers (completeness of marks, assignment of homework, presence/absence of thematic planning, completion of the program);
- Absences.
