  1. Designing Effective Driving Questions HDCH Academy, August 20, 2013

  2. This Session -Need to Knows (N2K) -Questioning Models: Bloom, UbD -Driving Questions in PBL -Criteria for Effective Driving Questions -Designing A DQ for Today’s Protocol

  3. PBL Elements

  4. Need to Know Brainstorm What resources will I need to develop my project for Friday? What other questions will I need to answer in order to begin developing my project idea today?

  5. Warm Up The Future of Glass Meeting the Design Team: What questions could we ask to learn more about the world portrayed in this video? (as a CF group)

  6. The Future of Glass

  7. How would you categorize your questions?

  8. Question Models Benjamin Bloom Wiggins/McTighe: UbD Essential Questions PBL Driving Questions

  9. B. Bloom’s Taxonomy (ca. 1956)

  10. Bloom Teacher asks questions, students answer Variety of questions Higher order thinking skills Evaluation as the preferred outcome

  11. Bloom Revised (Lorin Anderson, 1996)

  12. Digital Bloom (Mellon Middle School)

  13. EQ’s in UbD Backward design: start with core content Depth vs coverage: students “uncovering” curriculum Questions linked to learning goals (overall and specific expectations) Frame “Essential Questions” as overarching focus for unit

  14. Understanding by Design (1998): Essential Questions Essential Questions -open ended -thought provoking -higher order thinking -transferable ideas (across disciplines) -raises additional inquiry -answers that require support -recurring or perennial questions ( Jay McTighe, Grant Wiggins, Essential Questions: Opening Doors to Student Understanding, 3)

  15. The Power of Questions “Today, it’s not what you know, its having the right questions... We are trying to teach students how to frame problems versus repeat the answers...” Rick Miller (Olin College) , quoted in Creating Innovators(Tony Wagner)

  16. New Culture of Learning (2011) (Doug Thomas and John Seeley Brown) 20th C learning: explicit knowledge (encyclopedia, fixed content, mastery) vs. 21st C learning: tacit knowledge (digital information, changing content, learning by discovery)

  17. Student Questions “What if, for example the questions were more important than the answers...What if students were asking questions about things that really mattered to them?” (Thomas and Seely Brown, 81)

  18. PBL Elements

  19. The Driving Question in PBL A PBL task… is organized around an open-ended Driving Question. This focuses students’ work and deepens their learning by framing important issues, debates, challenges or problems. (BIE Website)

  20. DQ’s in PBL Open ended Focus on student learning and engagement Question drives project Links to real world problem or issue

  21. Driving Questions vsEssential Questions Essential questions that are “high on caffeine” Incorporate learning goals/ “expectations” Focused on student engagement Drive learning from student perspective Some excellent EQ’s could be DQ’s (Andrew Miller)

  22. Good Driving Questions “A good Driving Question captures the heart of the project in clear, compelling language, which gives students a sense of purpose and challenge” Educational Leadership, September 2012 Issue (John Larmer, John Mergendoller)

  23. Types of Driving Questions • Philosophical/Debatable • Would having robots care for the elderly improve their lives? • Product Oriented • How do we create a podcast to debunk myths and stereotypes of world religions? • Role Oriented • How couldwe create a community garden to provide food for local foodbanks? • Andrew Miller (Edutopia Blog) Andrew Miller)

  24. Evaluating Potential Driving Questions What is epic poetry? How have native peoples been impacted by changes in the world? How does probability relate to games? Why is science important and how can it help save people? How would you rewrite each of these to create an effective driving question?

  25. Comments and Questions ? rvanegmond@hdch.org

  26. Task Time: -Revise questions on previous slide -Design a DQ for Your Unit/Project Tuning Protocol Time (Afternoon Session) Resources BIE Tubric EL Article http://www.edutopia.org/blog/pbl-how-to-write-driving-questions-andrew-miller http://www.edutopia.org/blog/pbl-how-to-refine-driving-questions-andrew-miller

  27. Evaluating Potential Driving Questions What is epic poetry? How do I write an epic poem about an important episode in my life?

  28. Question 2 How have native peoples been impacted by changes in the world? Can native peoples adopt modern lifestyles while maintaining traditional culture and values?

  29. Question 3 How does probability relate to games? How could we design a game that engages students and incorporates elements of chance?

  30. Question 4 Why is science important and how can it help save people? Should we allow genetic engineering if it can prevent disease and cure illness?
