Presentation Transcript

  1. Authenticity, Simulation and Metacognitive Learning Robert Clapperton August 19th, 2015

  2. Authentic Learning “Kinds” of Authenticity: Materials and activities aligned with the world outside the classroom Assessment aligned with instruction – open ended inquiry Topics of study aligned with what learners want to know – self-direction Methods of inquiry aligned with the essential practices of a discipline

  3. Thick Authenticity • Applicable Authenticity • Assessment Authenticity • Personal Authenticity • Disciplinary Authenticity

  4. Metacognitive Skills: The Goal of Authentic Learning Metacognition refers to higher order thinking which involves active control over the cognitive processes engaged in learning. Activities such as planning how to approach a given learning task, monitoring comprehension, and evaluating progress toward the completion of a task are metacognitive in nature.

  5. Metacognition

  6. Thick Simulation A pedagogical strategy that has the primary goal of fostering thick authenticity

  7. Simulations Foundational: Freewriting Simulation Brand You Extended: Real Client Simulation Allstream Communications Immersive Thick Simulations: Digital Simulation CMN 279 Simulation
