The Real Work

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings. ~ Wendell Berry

Designing for Significant Learning

Common Design Traps
Teams

Mini- Curriculum Workshop

Tweaking an existing course?

Dream course?

Design challenge?

Lack of support/oversight of teams
Failure to adapt- designing room to breathe
Poor pacing/project management
Insufficient scaffolding

Activity for activities sake

Edutainment

Failure to align learning goals, activities, and assessments
Doing More, Not Doing Different
3 Conceptual Design Frames
3. Integrated Course Design

"Assessment is a process by which information is obtained relative to some known objective or goal. Assessment is a broad term that includes testing. A test is a special form of assessment. Tests are assessments made under contrived circumstances especially so that they may be administered. In other words, all tests are assessments, but not all assessments are tests." http://www.adprima.com/measurement.htm

Importance of student-centered exploration FIRST

STANFORD STUDY “We are showing that exploration, inquiry and problem solving are not just ‘nice to have’ things in classrooms,” said Blikstein. “They are powerful learning mechanisms that increase performance by every measure we have.” Pea explained that these results indicate the value for learning of first engaging one’s prior knowledge and intuitions in investigating problems in a learning domain – before being presented with abstracted knowledge. Having first explored how one believes a system works creates a knowledge-building relevance to the text or video that is then presented, he said." http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/07/before-reading-or-watching-videos-students-should-first-experiment/

Authentic Assessment (Wiggins and McTighe)

Allows opportunities to rehearse, practice, get feedback, and refine

Discrete lessons are made meaningful toward mastery

Asks students to integrate across KSA's (not isolate)

Replicates challenging "real life" situations

Asks students to "do" the subject

Requires judgement and innovation

Realistically contextualized

3. Self-Sufficiency

"In survey after survey, employers seem to agree that the skill they most want in future workers is adaptability. Those who hire complain that they often find today’s college graduates lacking in interpersonal skills, problem solving, effective written and oral communication skills, teamwork, and the ability to think critically and analytically."

Less Is More

Coverage-> Uncoverage

American Academy for the Advancement of Science: “As biology faculty, we need to put the “depth versus breadth” debate behind us. It is true today, and will be even more so in the future, that faculty cannot pack everything known in the life sciences into one or two survey courses. The advances and breakthroughs in the understanding of living systems cannot be covered in a classroom or a textbook. They cannot even be covered in the curriculum of life sciences majors. The time has come for all biology faculty, but particularly those of us who teach undergraduates, to change the way we think about teaching..." (2009)

1. Lecturing

D. Meiers: "Teaching is listening and learning is talking."

Lecturing->Direct Instruction

Is It Ever OK to Lecture?

"On the one hand, research on the matter is quite convincing: A 2014 meta-analysis of 228 studies of lectures and active-learning strategies showed that the results were decidedly one-sided in favor of active learning. So much so that the authors found it questionable ethically to make students attend lecture-based courses, given all that we know about how ineffective they are."

On the other hand, the vague way in which active-learning strategies are discussed means ... that "it can create the illusion that the answers to teaching challenges are both monolithic and easily developed." Active learning ... has become "an easy thing to prescribe as a cure but difficult to put into practice because it covers such a vast array of possibilities." - D. Gooblar, 2019

3. Gallup Poll "Big 6"

3% agreed to all 6.

6. Extremely active in extracurricular activities and organizations

5. Internship or job that allowed me to apply my learning

4. Work on a project that took a semester or more to complete

3. A mentor who helped me pursue my goals and dreams
