Summary from Last Year Constructive Alignment and Intended Learning Outcomes
Constructive Alignment • Make explicit ILO's • (…and tell this to students) TLA's= ILO's =AT's Teaching/Learning Activities AssessmentTasks vs. SUSAN: intrinsically motivated ROBERT: extrinsically motivated
Intended Learning Outcomes • From content: • ...to competence: • Intended Learning Outcomesusing verbsfrom The SOLO Taxonomy! name recite analyze explain • To understand: • deadlock • interference • synchronization • ... vs. Teacher Understanding?!? Student ILO's: describe ... compare... explain ... analyze... Have the student dosomething; and then "observe" product and/or process
The Implementation Process 1) Think carefully about: overall goal of course (what are the stud. to learn?) 2)Operationalize these goals: and express them as (SOLO) intended learning outcomes alignment learning support learning incentive 3)Carefully design (TLA's): teaching/learning actitivites (intended learning outcomes) 4)Carefully design (AT's): assessment tasks (intended learning outcomes) More information on implementing alignment: [ http://www1.itu.dk/sw79909.asp ]
Teaching/Learning Activities General advice
Teacher activity: Introduce Explain Elaborate Discuss application Give examples Show PPT slides Questions on slides Winding up Student activity: Listen Listen (maybe take notes) Understand? (correctly? deeply?) Listen (maybe take notes) Listen (maybe take notes) Watch (maybe note points) Write answers to questions Possibly ask a question Lecture (about Application) vs. active teacher [ Biggs & Tang 2007, p.137 ] vs. passive student
Student Activation The (in-famous) "Learning Pyramid": Average retention rate 5% Lecture Listening: Learning about passive student 10% Reading 20% Audiovisual student activation 30% Demonstration active student 50% Discussion group 75% Practice by doing Doing: Learning to do 80% Teaching others [ NTL Institute for Applied Behavioral Science, Bethel, Maine ]
Learning(about): about application about cooking about programming about designing about analysis about construction about relating ... Learning (to do): to apply to cook to program to design to analyse to construct to relate ... Listening vs.Doing studentlistening (to something about something) vs. student doing !!
From ILO's to TLA's • Given(carefully chosen): ILO's: describe ... compare... explain ... analyze... student-centric Design TLA's=ILO's FOCUS TODAY! Note: there is a workshop on this later today (17:35 - 18:20)
Thank you ! Have a great seminar !
