  1. Session 4. TOTAL as Outcomes-driven • Are There Opportunities to Move • From Content Outcomes to Threshold Outcomes? • Topics: • Sidebar: What outcomes should we consider? • Threshold Concepts in subject domains • Ways of Thinking and Practicing in a discipline • Threshold Capability in the metacognitive/metalearning domain • What challenges arise in targeting these Threshold Outcomes?

  2. Session 4. TOTAL as Outcomes-driven • Are There Opportunities to Move • From Content Outcomes to Threshold Outcomes? • Topics: • Sidebar: What outcomes should we consider? • Threshold Concepts in subject domains • Ways of Thinking and Practicing in a discipline • Threshold Capability in the metacognitive domain • What challenges arise in targeting these Threshold Outcomes? • Outcome: • Project teams will be able to • Identify opportunities and issues for Outcomes-driven transformations • Commence work on the Outcomes-driven section of Task 2. • Fundamentals on Defining Outcomes in reading for Session 6

  3. What learning outcomes should we consider? • course grades, degree attainment (including time to complete?) • acquisition of general knowledge, development of subject area competence, • development of cognitive skills and intellectual dispositions, occupational attainment, • preparation for adulthood and citizenship, personal development and maturity • Faculty Professional Choices in Teaching That Foster Student Success, John Braxton • Commissioned paper for National Symposium on Postsecondary Student Success, June 2006 • http://nces.ed.gov/npec/papers.asp • Note that some are binary steps, some measure on a scale, • some are ‘significant accomplishments’ where “we know ’em when we see ‘em” • Another team exercise: http://www.uiowa.edu/~centeach/tgi/background.html

  7. Work Time on Task 2: What Threshold Concepts and Capabilities need to be addressed? Are there other concepts and capabilities which can be de-emphasized? * do fewer things, but do them better *
