The Learning Power Quiz

The Learning Power Quiz focuses on topics related to learning, self-regulation, metacognition and education; the download contains complete resources for a fun one-hour team quiz lesson.

Students love team-quizzes and they’re a great way to foster engagement with new ideas, expand students’ vocabulary and build team-work skills. The Learning Power Quiz contains fifty questions that are displayed over six different rounds:

• Multiple Choice
• True or False
• Solve the Anagram
• What’s The Missing Word?
• Answer The Question
• What’s The Best Definition?

The answers are revealed via the included PowerPoint presentation file after the quiz has been completed: a teacher’s answer sheet is also included.

To enhance the value of the quiz in terms of metacognition and self-regulated learning each question slide also includes a student reflection extension question. Teachers can award extra points to students who give good answers to these reflection questions which will encourage students to engage in the reflection questions.

The quiz is suitable for students aged 11-16 and can be differentiated for different age and ability groups by changing the size of the teams. The download includes an easy to use ‘auto-play’ version as well as an editable version for teachers who would like to make amendments.

This resource is perfect for a fun end-of-term lesson for teachers hoping to inspire metacognitive reflection and self-regulated learning behaviours!
