In CBM students not only select the answer but they also rate their confidence on a three-point scale (C= 1, 2 or 3)

CBM (Confidence Based Marking)Accuracy and confidence therefore determine the mark as shown in the table below:

When the answer is correct the mark depends on the confidence level (M= 1, 2 or 3). If the answer is wrong, then the higher the confidence level the higher the penalty (-2 at C=2 and -6 at C=3). Degree of certaintyLowMediumHighMark if correct123Penalty if wrong0-2-6Teacher Instructions

Preparation:Input questions and possible answers into the table on slide 4.

Invite students to note their answers and score by drawing a quick table that resembles this (creating as many rows as the teacher wishes up to 10 questions can be asked) or use the sheet on slide 10:

Explain the purpose and the format of the quiz. As well as attempting to answer the question the student is also stating their level of confidence in their answer. They are rewarded for showing a high level of confidence by gaining a higher score but will also be punished more if they get their answer wrong. The scoring system works like this:

When ready, click on Click here to start. The first question will appear. After a few moments, the elevator doors will open and three possible answers will be revealed. Ask students to decide on which answer they think is correct and their confidence level. They should note their answer (and confidence level) on their table.

When ready click on Click here for answer. The doors to the correct lift will remain open and the two incorrect answers will close. Students should use the key on the screen to record their score.

Click on Click for next question to move on to the next question. Repeat this process for as many questions as have been set.

Teaching strategy: At the end of each question (after revealing the correct answer), ask students about their progress. Find out how confident they were with their answers and discuss why this confidence level was either low or high (but possibly incorrect!).
