Workbook+or+Worksheets


 * Workbook/Worksheets**

Workbooks or worksheets are guided instructional aids with prompts and questions for completion that help students focus on specific content, either in classroom activities or in assignments for a course. They can be used to review the knowledge that is expected as a prerequisite for a particular course, provide practice with new concepts, and ensure the consistent assessment of student learning. Students can use worksheets to analyze the concepts and information presented and as frames of reference to organize thinking. Students can demonstrate comprehension of newly learned concepts by successfully completing worksheets. Workbooks or worksheets can be teacher-generated or purchased commercially. They are most effective, however, when adapted to individual student learning needs.

Workbook/worksheets:
 * Considerations**
 * may provide a consistent medium for knowledge and skills at specific grades and stages of learning;

 * may stifle creativity and learning if not relevant to the material taught;
 * should be screened carefully if purchased commercially to ensure relevancy;
 * should not be used too often, or the process becomes mechanical.
