Learning Design

Learning DesingLD needs to take into account different theories of how people learn.

Learning Design A

Learning Theories - relevance in specific education eco-systemAdult Learning - Training of Teachers (Professional Development)Learning Theories are useful to look at how people learnKey features, learning manifestation and teaching methods relating to each can be analysed for appropriatness and relevance in designing learning for teachers

Eco-system: Teacher Professional Development

This mind map represents the thinking about Learning Design for Teacher Professional Development.It is based on an individual mind map on Learning Theories as well as a group-constructed mind map on the same topic.It uses Learning Theories as a basis for looking at criteria to consider when doing Learning Design in this educatinal eco-system.The larning design considerations are displayed on the left hand side of the mind map.All concepts that are related, similar or connected are linked (which may seem chaotic at first, but by following the links the connection should become clear).Learning Design for Teacher Professional Development needs to be Learner-Centered, Knowledge-Centered, Assessment-Centered and Community-Centered. This corresponds with key features of most of the major Learning Theories. This perspective is based on the theory that people learn better when they are motivated, ready, the experience or outcomes are relevant, when it involves other members of their community, when it is collaborative, when there is feedback on progress and when it builds on existing knowledge.This suggests certain teaching methods that can be included in the Learning Design like:Problem-based LearningProject-based LearningCooperative LearningInquiry-based LearningMentoringModellingIt also suggests that 21st Century Learning is relevant for today's teacher, that higher order thinking skills need to be involved during learning adn that variety must be included to accomodate differences among the learning group.
