Facilitating Guided Discussion and Student Centered Learning
Problem Based Learning • Androgogy vs Pedagogy!! • Psychological Age vs. Physical Age • Role of experience and personality • Readiness to learn is often based on the students perceived need • Learning theory • Behaviorism • Cognitivism • Constructivism • Examples • Learning to walk!! • Learning a language!! • Learning to drive a car!! • Learning to fly!!
Personality Type and DiscussionThe I’s vs the E’s!!!! • Question previews!! • Comebacks!! • Quick writes!! • Computer based decision aids!! • 3 by 5 Cards!!
Effective Questioning • Overhead • Specific • Pre-Identified • Homework • Issue Bin • Student constructed!!
Classroom Setup • Death by rows!! • Circle the wagons!! • Small groups!! • Case study and debate!! • Change to suit the objective
Technology!!!Curse or Blessing!!!! • Depends on how you use it!!! • Shift the burden to the learner!! • Build in accountability!! • Chat • Discussion • E-mail • CB Decision Aids
Student Preparation • Case Studies • Abstracts • Current events • Subject related • Quick in class reads!! • Student presentations!! • Short • Focus • Knowledge based • Stage setters
Small Groups!!! • Multi day projects • Specific outcomes • Peer review • Leader?? / follower??
Thanks for your participation!! • Facilitating Guided Discussion and Student Centered Learning • Teaching is not always learning!! • Students may be adult learners without reaching the legal drinking age!! • Thoughtful participation in the learning process may help. • What is the objective????
FITS and LCG • What is the purpose of grading? • Identify student performance • Reward the student • Warn the next instructor!!!!! • Delay the check ride until the student gets a clue!!!!
Adult Learners Andragogy assumes that the point at which an individual achieves a self-concept of essential self-direction is the point at which he psychologically becomes adult. A very critical thing happens when this occurs: the individual develops a deep psychological need to be perceived by others as being self-directing.
Learner-Centered Debriefing • Uncover/articulate their own mistakes • Recognize the limit of their own knowledge • Analyze a situation or event • Value their own observations
Learner-CenteredGrading The object of scenario-based training is a change in the thought processes, habits, and behaviors of the students during the planning and execution of the scenario.
Traditional Grades Outstanding Good Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Incomplete Grading Systems Compared • Or…………. • A • B • C • D • F
Since the training is student/learner centered the success of the training is measured in the following desired student outcomes: Grading Systems Compared
FITS Maneuvers/Skills/ Tasks Grades Perform Practice Explain Describe Not Observed FITS SRM Grades Manage Decide Practice Explain Not Observed Grading Systems Compared
Let us examinea maneuver • Describe a crosswind landing • Explain the factors that effect a crosswind landing • Practice a crosswind landing • Perform a crosswind landing
IFR Descent and Landing • The student begins the descent checklist late and remains behind the aircraft. He swerves and porpoises (barely within limits) down the glide slope and eventually stabilizes the aircraft at 800 feet….then performs a beautiful landing. • How do you handle the critique? • What is the student’s grade? • What is an appropriate learner centered grade? • What is the overall lesson grade?
