JiTT Just-in-Time-Teaching Presentation by Elisabeth Nedergaard, Danish partner of the CIRCE project
JiTT is: • The abbreviation of the concept "Just-in-Time-Teaching” • a concept developed in the USA around the year 2000
JiTT is: • A strategy built on the interaction between: • web activities of the students and • Normal class room teaching
The basic elements of JiTT: • ”Warm-ups” • Normal class room teaching on basis of the warm-ups • ”Puzzles” (at the end of a theme – before the last lesson) • Web resources for homework
The advantages of JiTT • A better student home work preparation for the lessons • A higher degree of student participation in the learning process • Higher independence of the students • Better possibility for the teacher to meet the students at the right level • Measurable learning outcome
Problems with JiTT • The preparation phase for the whole sequence as well as for the individual lesson is very demanding for the teacher • For the teacher it can be a stress factor to find the time to read all the student answers to the warm-ups and prepare for their use in class immediately before each lesson
How to do? I • Choose the theme of the sequence of lessons • Decide on the number of lessons • Present the project to the students (each student will need a computer at home and a connection to the internet!) • Prepare the necessary on-line resources (web pages with relevant texts, images, links to back-ground materials etc.)
How to do? II • Prepare the warm-up exercises for each lesson (only three to four questions per lesson!) • Decide on how and when the warm-up exercises should be answered by the students • Choose the different ways in which the student results of the warm-up exercises can be presented and used with pedagogical effect in class
How to do? III • Prepare a deeper going exercise or “puzzle” to prepare for an evaluation of the student outcome at the end of the course • Go!
