The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

Explanations needed for learning: should they be closed before the test?

2019The past, rebuiltDeadline · Within 60 days, before the new question bank is distributed

Reconstruction of the past

The date of the source material is 2019-11-26. Only the stated texts of that period are used as background; the three situational premises and the later branching are invented. Actual outcomes later known, amended systems, or success stories are not used as facts in the initial input. This is a modern retrospective question construction, not a claim that people of that time made this decision.

The question to decide

Publishing the answers and explanations in a shared question bank improves self-study but makes it harder to judge understanding by the correct answer alone on the same problems. Delaying publication leaves learners waiting, and making new assessment tasks costs teachers' time. How should the release of answers and explanations be tied to grading?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Publish the questions, answers, and explanations together

    Expands the approach of checking on one's own and relearning, but assessment in the existing form may become hard to continue.

  2. Option 2

    Publish the explanations after the scheduled assessment ends

    Leaves time to use the same questions for assessment, but deliberately delays the explanations that learning needs.

  3. Option 3

    Assess with new tasks based on the published material

    Connects open learning with checking understanding, but teachers need time to create new tasks and assessment criteria.

The situation as it stands

The reconstructed teachers want to revise the questions and explanations together, but the same questions are also used for graded assessment. Decision deadline: within 60 days, before the new question bank is distributed.

Reconstruction of the past as of 2019-11-26 · Publishing the answers of an open question bank along with the questions changes the meaning of assessment. A fictional issue newly built from the principles of documents of that time. The institutions, people, figures, and events shown here are not records of real Decision-making.

  1. Premise 1The reconstructed teachers want to revise the questions and explanations together, but the same questions are also used for graded assessment.
  2. Premise 2Publishing the answers increases the material for learning on one's own, but judging understanding from only the correct answers to the same questions is difficult.
  3. Premise 3Delaying the publication of explanations means learners studying right now do not get the feedback they need right away.

Where it holdsOpen learning materials, assessment, reuse

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1The difference between the capacity to assess and memorizing answers
  2. Unknown 2The difficulty learners face while waiting for the explanation
  3. Unknown 3The resources teachers have for creating and reviewing new tasks

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, owner, and checkpoint will verify "the difference between the capacity to assess and memorizing answers," and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, owner, and checkpoint will verify "the difficulty learners face while waiting for the explanation," and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Decide what observation, owner, and checkpoint will verify "the resources teachers have for creating and reviewing new tasks," and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoffs among the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

It was observed that students who had read the explanation could not explain the reasoning in a similar new situation.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

The teachers offered to create new tasks together, but there was not enough common time for review.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents
symbolic and interpretive frame · Socratic dialogue

How is getting a quick answer different from becoming able to ask questions?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
