Chloe flock EDRL 474 O1 Dr. Cynthia Bezard March 07 , 2024 Demonstration of Understanding - Principle 4 Checking student comprehension in real time is valuable because it provides immediate feedback, allows for adjusting instruction on the spot, promotes engagement and participation, improves retention, and serves as formative assessment to guide teaching decisions. Determining student knowledge before adapting instruction is essential to tailor teaching to individual needs, avoid redundant content, personalize learning experiences, build on prior knowledge, and adjust the pace and complexity of instruction effectively. To determine student confusion or misunderstanding during a lesson, educators can utilize various strategies such as observing non-verbal cues, employing questioning techniques, conducting formative assessments, encouraging peer discussion, facilitating think-alouds, conducting one-on-one check-ins, and leveraging technology tools. These approaches help teachers identify areas of confusion in real-time and provide targeted support to address students' learning needs effectively.
