Gain valuable insights into cell division, DNA roles, geologic eras, and research proposals. Don't miss the CIT Course Design Institute on August 14-16, 2017, open to Duke University faculty. Apply by July 14 for a chance to receive a $500 stipend.
E N D
After today's activities, you will able to: • identify and discuss the elements of a well-constructed student learning outcome (an objective) • begin drafting at least one objective that incorporates aspects of sustainability into your class
Backward Course Design Identify desired results Determine acceptable evidence Plan learning experiences
Objectives Are these good? • Clearly articulate the stages of cell division to the students. • Understand the role of DNA in cell division • List the geologic eras of the earth • Write a research proposal
Draft a basic research proposal that meets the satisfactory (3) levels for each criterion described in the rubric.
Objective Draft Identify an objective that will include an element of sustainability. Write/rewrite it using ABCD criteria.
Elements of an Objective • Audience: objectives are what students should be able to do, not teachers… • Behavior: what is the observable result: explain, describe, summarize, create…, (not understand, know, appreciate, etc.) • Condition: any specific situation during which the objective must be met: orally in small groups, as sections of a written paper, etc. • Degree: how well the student must do to be considered proficient: an outline, a draft, one appropriate for a dissertation, or publication, etc.
