Checklists are tools used by teachers and students to systematically collect data on student knowledge, skills, and behaviors related to learning outcomes. Checklists consist of statements that students or teachers respond to with yes/no or done/not done to provide information. Checklists can be used for self-assessment, ensuring tasks are completed consistently and completely, identifying student needs, and documenting skill development. To create an effective checklist, one should use a clear format, categorize items, avoid errors, and focus on quality over length.
