QED 522 ICT FOR ENGAGED LEARNING GROUP MEMBERS: Chua Ze Jun Lim Pei Juan Loh So Boey
LEARNING OBJECTIVES Sec1 Express pupils will effectively use the design process and tackle problem solving activities in a structured matter with the use of mindmap and pbwiki for collaboration. + =
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT • The lessons will take • place in a Full-Computer • Lab. • Students will be learning • in groups
Syllabus Framework • MOE – D&T Syllabus framework comprises 3 domains, • Design Appreciation • Designing • Making 2007 D & T (Lower Secondary - Special / Express / Normal (Academic)) Syllabus (http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/syllabuses/sciences/)
Syllabus Framework Flow of the design stages (http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/syllabuses/sciences/)
LESSON OBJECTIVES Lesson 1 Students are able to : • effectively carry out their discussion with the use of pbwiki.- • learn and organise their findings and make connections to the information gathered. • analyze and build on knowledge through process of collaboration.
LESSON OBJECTIVES Lesson 2 Students are able to : • To analyze and construct own ideas so that they can design meaningful solution to solve the problem while doing their project. • Effectively collaborate, brainstorm, visualize and plan ideas collaboratively online.
Description of roles (Teacher and ICT) Thinking along engaged learning framework…..
SAMPLE PRODUCT http://dnt-sec1a.pbwiki.com/ http://designteam-one.pbwiki.com/
TECHNOLOGY USED: • PBWIKI • MINDMEISTER
How PBWIKI support engaged learning (1) Student are intrinsically motivated and have a sense of belonging as they are involved in maintenance their resources in pbwiki. (2) They learn best with collaboration and working as groups because it allows knowledge co-construction through peer learning interaction.
How Mindmeistersupport engaged learning? (1) Allow collaboration through brainstorming and think innovatively (2) Allow them to see connections and inter-relationship with the use of visual map. (3) Build on to existing knowledge and information and think further to solve a problem.
Pedagogical approaches Focus: Project-Based Learning
Rationale of the pedagogical approach • Project-based learning: • Nurturing students’ development of critical thinking by • encouraging them to be actively involved in their • own learning. • Allowing students to construct or co-construct their • ideas and those of their peers so as to create • meaningful solutions to solve an authentic problem. • Engaging students to have an overview of their • project through construction of mind-maps and • exposing them to the design process.
Rationale of the pedagogy approach • Project-based learning: • Teacher will act as a facilitator and closely monitor • students’ progress as they work collaboratively; • as well as to give feedback for the students to • evaluate. • Provide opportunities for the students to think , work, • present and evaluate their work.
Instructional Strategies Learning Environment
Instructional Strategies • Cooperative Learning Strategies: • Numbered Heads • Send-A-Problem • Virtual Listening Post (give eg. Like give design brief to the problem tt they identify) • 5W1H to different design factors • Focus on essentials. • Make linkages obvious and explicit. • Prime background knowledge. • Provide temporary support for learning. • Use conspicuous steps and strategies. • Review for fluency and generalization.
Instructional Strategies • Thinking Skills • Identifying attributes and components • Identify the problem-solution pattern of an event through brainstorming.
