iPads and IPP Implications for Instruction
Premises of IPP • “ a framework of inquiry…” • Teacher is a guide who… “walks with,” “accompanies,” “facilitates,” “guides,” “lays the foundation…” • Teacher – learner relationship is key.
Truth & Freedom Learner Ignatian Pedagogy Teacher
Context • Our kids are digital natives. Wireless technology occupies a large part of their lives. • Phenomena such as blended learning and the flipped classroom are becoming more common in a wide range of schools, with the result that students are exercising more control over the time, place, path, and/or the pace of their learning. • Third party providers such as JVLA, Khan Academy and others are gaining currency. • Where is your school ?
Experience • More and more of our schools are going to tablets. • Teachers are increasingly writing their own textbooks and developing their own apps. • A tablet can get a student closer to a direct experience (though still “indirect?”) and can do more to “stimulate students’ imagination and use of the senses.” • Tablets may even help with the affective side of experience. • “The teacher creates the conditions whereby students gather and recollect the material of their own experience…”
Reflection • “Sage on the stage” has changed to “guide on the side” as the new paradigm for teachers. • Students can sample a variety of viewpoints readily, leaving them less vulnerable to influence by the teacher. • Is it possible to utilize this paradigm shift to reinforce the emphasis on Ignatian Pedagogy, student-centered learning, and specifically the IPP?
Action • The IPP asks us to introduce models to help students use knowledge meaningfully through …“investigation” …”experimental inquiry” …”problem solving”… • How do we encourage teachers to take advantage of the new possibilities to reorient our students’ learning?
Evaluation • What would success look like? • What metric can we use to help us determine the effect this new technology is having on the Ignatian nature of our pedagogy?
