ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method and system that allows for testing the deep understanding that a student has for a concept by using the Meaning Equivalence Instructional Methodology (MEIM). The MEIM involves a meaning probe having a plurality of items. Each item has a plurality of statements and the student must select at least two statements having the same meaning. The meaning probe is then scored and feedback is provided. The MEIM allows instructors to test one or more students in any subject area. The MEIM also allows a student to perform self-tests. Furthermore, the scoring feedback provided by the MEIM allows for a remediation program to indicate to the student which areas of knowledge require strengthening. Accordingly, MEIM may also be used as a learning tool. MEIM may be applicable to elementary, secondary, post-secondary, adult and workplace learning environments.
