  7. ITL Research Findings 2011

  8. SKILLS FOR LIFE ANDWORK TODAY Knowledge building Problem solving & innovation Self-regulation & assessment ICT use Global awareness Collaboration Skilled communication

  9. ARE INNOVATIVE TEACHING PRACTICES ASSOCIATED WITH 21ST CENTURY LEARNING OUTCOMES? Students 21C Skills Score Relationship between innovative teaching scores and student’s work on 21c skill dimensions When educators provide learning activities that ask for 21 C skills, students can and do demonstrate those skills. Learning Activities/Innovative Teaching Source: ITL 2011, LASW method, based on analysis by SRI International

  10. Innovative Teaching Practices • . ICT Integration Education System Change Extension of Learning Beyond the Classroom School Leadership and Culture Student Centered Pedagogy Innovative Teaching Practices • Knowledge Building • Self-regulation & Assessment • Collaboration • Skilled Communication • Problem Solving & Innovation • Global Awareness • ICT Use Individuals with skills for life and work today 10

  11. AND STUDENTS USE ICT… Basic uses of ICT High level uses of ICT Based on analysis by SRI International Source: ITL teacher survey, 2011

  12. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATIVE TEACHING PRACTICES 0,28 Practice a new teaching method Conducted individual or collaborative research on a particular topi 0,25 Planned or practiced using ICT in teaching (for example, planning a) 0,23 0,23 Reviewed and discussed student work 0,18 Observed a demonstration of ICT use Developed or reviewed curriculum materials 0,18 Received or delivered one-on-one coaching or mentoring 0,17 0,15 Planned a lesson or a unit 0,15 Observed a demosntration of a lesson 0,03 Listened to a lecture Source: ITL teacher survey, 2011 Based on analysis by SRI International

  13. TEACHING CAN CHANGE, DRAMATICALLY

  14. Previous uses of this approach In the USA • School reform in Chicago (Bryk, Nagaoka & Newmann, 2000) • “Authenticity” and “intellectual complexity” • Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation • “Rigor” and “relevance” • National Writing Project • “Best practices in writing instruction” • CRESST, UCLA (Matsumura & Pascal) • “Instructional quality” Internationally • Singapore: Koh & Luke • “Authentic assessments” • Microsoft Innovative Schools Program Evaluation • “21st-century learning opportunities”

  15. “21st century skills” are easy to talk about as abstractions, but hard to define, develop and measure. Looking at instructional artifacts (learning activities, student work or LASW): Helps us see what’s really happening in classrooms Gives us specific metrics for measuring progress Gives teachers a common language to discuss teaching practice Assessing 21st-Century Skills

  16. ITL Learning Activity Dimensions

  17. ITL Student Work Dimensions All ITL Research tools and methods are available at www.itlresearch.com.

  18. General rules to consider • Consider the age of the students when assigning a code • Select your code based on evidence, not based on your inferences (guesses) • Select your codes for the Learning Activity based only on the qualities defined in the rubric for a given dimension. • When it is difficult to decide between two codes (for example, between Code 2 and Code 3), give the lower code. • To identify the main requirement or effort for an artifact (necessary for some dimensions), look for what students appear to have spent the most time and effort doing.

  19. Anchor lessons • Native People • House on Mango • Olympics Site Selection • Erosional landforms • Design a Catapult
