Deeper learning

422011 ID Faculty 4

is media and content that uses a combination of different content forms (Wiki)

Multimedia such as graphics audio video and animation can present or represent action objects phenomena or status that text cannot Owing to its rich information multimedia enables students to see and hear in addition to read hence presenting learning objects more realistically than text only Besides and perhaps more importantly it addresses the needs of visual auditory

kinesthetic learners Multimedia therefore is able to

foster deeper learning in students

Multimedia and Dynamic Online Environment

Technology for instructor presence

Text (sample)

Video (sample)

Graphic (sample)

Animation (sample)

422011 ID Faculty 5

Multimedia is able to do many of the things that an instructor does in classroom for example demonstration illustration explanation analysis scaffolding Below are four samples of multimedia

Although traditional text is one of the frequently used media for instructor presence for example assignment instruction As this sample shows instructor used open-ended questions to make student feel herhis presence

Video is another medium that is gaining momentum Videos enable students to see and hear sophisticated skills and complex concepts and procedures in real Settings

A picture is worth a thousand words In many cases even a thousand words isnrsquot enough to match what a graphic does Animation is able to break down an object into smaller pieces explain them individually then assemble them as a whole and explain as such

Blog (web log) is an interactive website usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary descriptions of events or other material such as graphics or video displayed in reverse-chronological order (wiki)

Adobe Connect is a web conferencing tool that enables real time interaction between instructor and students via internet Good for virtual office hour presentation appointments before cap project and final exam Other similar tools are Skype Windows Messenger Live Yahoo Messenger 12 etc

ConnectFacebookGoogle DocsWikiBlog

Facebook as a social networking service enables users to organize groups for a common interest for example exchanging information on study of a subject such as anatomy in nursing or marketing in business Members can be from all over the world

Good Docs is Web-based word processor spreadsheet presentation form and data storage service that allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users

Wiki is a website that allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users including changing adding or removing material

Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)

Actual development level with no guide

Potential development level with guide

Tailored help just beyond existing level

422011 9ID Faculty

We can accomplish certain things by workingindependently depending on the knowledge and skills we already have We can accomplish a lot more when we have experts or more knowledgeable others to guide us or by working collaboratively with others Thatrsquos why we go to school and college

Assistance is tailored to the needs of the learner It is just enough to get the learner past his current difficulties The MKO assists only inthose steps that are beyond the learners ability

Crafts Apprenticeship

A system of learningpersons involved

master functions

apprentice functions

422011 10ID Faculty

At least two persons are involved ie masterexpert and apprenticelearners

(at least two)

master demonstrates interrupts provides challenge encourages risk-taking and guides

(demo guide hellip)

Apprentice learns by doing through observation mimicking being coached and corrected and scaffolded

(observing mimicking hellip)

(trial and error)

The apprentice performs physical duties entailed in the role

(psychomotor duties)

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Benefits

learn at site

planned training

lower level entrants

Limitations

context-free environments

knowing and seeing associated with psychomotor exchanges

failure to account for the implicit processes

422011 12ID Faculty

learning new skills in an actual physical context of practice working side by side with an expert

(beside the masterexpert)

providing the apprenticelearner with a planned and structured training program to learn a specific task

(to learn a specific skill)

bringing lower level entrants and under-represented groups into the organization

(under-represented groups into workforce)

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Cognitive Apprenticeship

a pedagogical model

a process of social interaction

involving cognitive exchanges

bringing tacit process into open

focusing on cognitive and meta cognitive skills ie thinking process

nurturing the learner from peripheral into full participants

422011 ID Faculty 13

(teaching implicit processes)

A method that teaches the implicit processes thatan expert uses to carry out complex tasks

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Cognitive Apprenticeship Techniques Modeling

modeling expert performance

externalizing internal processes

Examples

mathematics

reading comprehension

422011 14ID Faculty

teaching behavior that shows how an expert feels thinks or acts within a given situation

(demonstrating)

externalizing cognitive processes verbalizing thought processes thinking aloud to illustrate the invisible

write out explicit steps and work through a problem aloud demonstrating her heuristics and procedural knowledgeuse an authentic newspaper and go through the process of reading and comprehending an article Thus students understand and build a conceptual model of the comprehension process and its conditions for application in conditions similar to real life situations

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Coaching

examples

422011 15ID Faculty

a process of overseeing student learning

helping learners to accomplish their learning goals helping choose learning tasks

providing hints and feedback diagnosing problems

offering verbal or non-verbal encouragement

evaluating completed products

structuring learning

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Scaffolding a supporting framework

instructional techniques

Vygotskys Zone of Proximal Development

support from more knowledgeable others Fading ie gradual removal of the support system

422011 16ID Faculty

a temporary or movable platform to stand or sit on while working (in construction) a structure supporting learners working at a level higher than their ability allows without assistance (in teaching and learning)

instructional techniques to help learners bridge the gap between their existing knowledge and the instructorrsquos intended learning outcome the forms of support temporarily provided by instructors to initiate learners into a new domain or finishing new assignments a cooperative problem-solving effort by teachers and learners

Vygotsky defined the concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) as the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers

two processes occur in scaffolding 1) providing support to thestudent by a more knowledgeable other (MKO) whether a teacher a better informed peer a community member a domain expert a parent or in some cases even a computer

2) the gradual removal of the support system in a way which leaves the student able to perform the unassisted task which was previously possible only with the scaffolding

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Articulation and Reflection

Articulation

critical questions

resources

timely feedback

422011 ID Faculty 20

The critical questions keep learners on the right track and lead them to think and deal with those the instructor wants them to deal with The critical questions are constructed in the assignments discussion instructions orthey may also be presented through email communications comments on discussion postings etc

Relevant resources are embedded at the places where the instructor anticipates the learners may encounter difficulties or provided through email communications comments on discussion postings assignments etc

In addition to instructor feedback can also be from peers ie comments on discussion postings individual contribution to group project It can come in writing or verbal through chat Facebook Google Docs video Conferencing Wiki When one student responses to a question others are listening reading Students donrsquot have to neither can they learn everything from instructor

Sample

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Articulating through discussion forum postings

individual projects assignments presentations

422011 ID Faculty 21

Through articulation the learners make their learning explicit through language so that community members have a basis of interaction to refine and expand understanding Articulation can be interwoven in a learning experience through a variety of strategies including discussion demonstration presentation and the exchange of written or other learner-produced artifacts

Cognitive Apprenticeship and TampL Online

Reflection

422011 ID Faculty 22

Critique of peer work can also serve the goal of

reflection because a student needs to analyze the

pros and cons if she wants to do a real good critique

A re-work of independent project is another format of

reflection This re-worked product can be a critique a

a lab project a piece of writing a presentation a video

clip or any other discipline-specific product

is practiced through writing or presentation

is media and content that uses a combination of different content forms (Wiki)

Multimedia such as graphics audio video and animation can present or represent action objects phenomena or status that text cannot Owing to its rich information multimedia enables students to see and hear in addition to read hence presenting learning objects more realistically than text only Besides and perhaps more importantly it addresses the needs of visual auditory

kinesthetic learners Multimedia therefore is able to

foster deeper learning in students

Multimedia is able to do many of the things that an instructor does in classroom for example demonstration illustration explanation analysis scaffolding Below are four samples of multimedia

Although traditional text is one of the frequently used media for instructor presence for example assignment instruction As this sample shows instructor used open-ended questions to make student feel herhis presence

Video is another medium that is gaining momentum Videos enable students to see and hear sophisticated skills and complex concepts and procedures in real Settings

A picture is worth a thousand words In many cases even a thousand words isnrsquot enough to match what a graphic does Animation is able to break down an object into smaller pieces explain them individually then assemble them as a whole and explain as such

Scaffolding a supporting framework

instructional techniques

Vygotskys Zone of Proximal Development

support from more knowledgeable others Fading ie gradual removal of the support system

422011 16ID Faculty

a temporary or movable platform to stand or sit on while working (in construction) a structure supporting learners working at a level higher than their ability allows without assistance (in teaching and learning)

instructional techniques to help learners bridge the gap between their existing knowledge and the instructorrsquos intended learning outcome the forms of support temporarily provided by instructors to initiate learners into a new domain or finishing new assignments a cooperative problem-solving effort by teachers and learners

Vygotsky defined the concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) as the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers

two processes occur in scaffolding 1) providing support to thestudent by a more knowledgeable other (MKO) whether a teacher a better informed peer a community member a domain expert a parent or in some cases even a computer

2) the gradual removal of the support system in a way which leaves the student able to perform the unassisted task which was previously possible only with the scaffolding

Scaffolding a supporting framework

instructional techniques

Vygotskys Zone of Proximal Development

support from more knowledgeable others Fading ie gradual removal of the support system

422011 16ID Faculty

a temporary or movable platform to stand or sit on while working (in construction) a structure supporting learners working at a level higher than their ability allows without assistance (in teaching and learning)

instructional techniques to help learners bridge the gap between their existing knowledge and the instructorrsquos intended learning outcome the forms of support temporarily provided by instructors to initiate learners into a new domain or finishing new assignments a cooperative problem-solving effort by teachers and learners

Vygotsky defined the concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) as the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers

two processes occur in scaffolding 1) providing support to thestudent by a more knowledgeable other (MKO) whether a teacher a better informed peer a community member a domain expert a parent or in some cases even a computer

2) the gradual removal of the support system in a way which leaves the student able to perform the unassisted task which was previously possible only with the scaffolding

422011 ID Faculty 20

The critical questions keep learners on the right track and lead them to think and deal with those the instructor wants them to deal with The critical questions are constructed in the assignments discussion instructions orthey may also be presented through email communications comments on discussion postings etc

Relevant resources are embedded at the places where the instructor anticipates the learners may encounter difficulties or provided through email communications comments on discussion postings assignments etc

In addition to instructor feedback can also be from peers ie comments on discussion postings individual contribution to group project It can come in writing or verbal through chat Facebook Google Docs video Conferencing Wiki When one student responses to a question others are listening reading Students donrsquot have to neither can they learn everything from instructor

422011 16ID Faculty

a temporary or movable platform to stand or sit on while working (in construction) a structure supporting learners working at a level higher than their ability allows without assistance (in teaching and learning)

instructional techniques to help learners bridge the gap between their existing knowledge and the instructorrsquos intended learning outcome the forms of support temporarily provided by instructors to initiate learners into a new domain or finishing new assignments a cooperative problem-solving effort by teachers and learners

Vygotsky defined the concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) as the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers

two processes occur in scaffolding 1) providing support to thestudent by a more knowledgeable other (MKO) whether a teacher a better informed peer a community member a domain expert a parent or in some cases even a computer

2) the gradual removal of the support system in a way which leaves the student able to perform the unassisted task which was previously possible only with the scaffolding

Vygotskys Zone of Proximal Development

support from more knowledgeable others Fading ie gradual removal of the support system

422011 16ID Faculty

a temporary or movable platform to stand or sit on while working (in construction) a structure supporting learners working at a level higher than their ability allows without assistance (in teaching and learning)

instructional techniques to help learners bridge the gap between their existing knowledge and the instructorrsquos intended learning outcome the forms of support temporarily provided by instructors to initiate learners into a new domain or finishing new assignments a cooperative problem-solving effort by teachers and learners

Vygotsky defined the concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) as the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers

two processes occur in scaffolding 1) providing support to thestudent by a more knowledgeable other (MKO) whether a teacher a better informed peer a community member a domain expert a parent or in some cases even a computer

2) the gradual removal of the support system in a way which leaves the student able to perform the unassisted task which was previously possible only with the scaffolding

Cognitive Apprenticeship

a pedagogical model

a process of social interaction

involving cognitive exchanges

bringing tacit process into open

focusing on cognitive and meta cognitive skills ie thinking process

nurturing the learner from peripheral into full participants

422011 ID Faculty 13

(teaching implicit processes)

A method that teaches the implicit processes thatan expert uses to carry out complex tasks

Cognitive Apprenticeship Techniques Modeling

modeling expert performance

externalizing internal processes

Examples

mathematics

reading comprehension

422011 14ID Faculty

teaching behavior that shows how an expert feels thinks or acts within a given situation

(demonstrating)

externalizing cognitive processes verbalizing thought processes thinking aloud to illustrate the invisible

write out explicit steps and work through a problem aloud demonstrating her heuristics and procedural knowledgeuse an authentic newspaper and go through the process of reading and comprehending an article Thus students understand and build a conceptual model of the comprehension process and its conditions for application in conditions similar to real life situations

Scaffolding a supporting framework

instructional techniques

Vygotskys Zone of Proximal Development

support from more knowledgeable others Fading ie gradual removal of the support system

422011 16ID Faculty

a temporary or movable platform to stand or sit on while working (in construction) a structure supporting learners working at a level higher than their ability allows without assistance (in teaching and learning)

instructional techniques to help learners bridge the gap between their existing knowledge and the instructorrsquos intended learning outcome the forms of support temporarily provided by instructors to initiate learners into a new domain or finishing new assignments a cooperative problem-solving effort by teachers and learners

Vygotsky defined the concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) as the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers

two processes occur in scaffolding 1) providing support to thestudent by a more knowledgeable other (MKO) whether a teacher a better informed peer a community member a domain expert a parent or in some cases even a computer

2) the gradual removal of the support system in a way which leaves the student able to perform the unassisted task which was previously possible only with the scaffolding

The critical questions keep learners on the right track and lead them to think and deal with those the instructor wants them to deal with The critical questions are constructed in the assignments discussion instructions orthey may also be presented through email communications comments on discussion postings etc

Relevant resources are embedded at the places where the instructor anticipates the learners may encounter difficulties or provided through email communications comments on discussion postings assignments etc

In addition to instructor feedback can also be from peers ie comments on discussion postings individual contribution to group project It can come in writing or verbal through chat Facebook Google Docs video Conferencing Wiki When one student responses to a question others are listening reading Students donrsquot have to neither can they learn everything from instructor

Reflection

422011 ID Faculty 22

Critique of peer work can also serve the goal of

reflection because a student needs to analyze the

pros and cons if she wants to do a real good critique

A re-work of independent project is another format of

reflection This re-worked product can be a critique a

We can accomplish certain things by working independently depending on the knowledge and skills we already have We can accomplish a lot more when we have experts or more knowledgeable others to guide us or by working collaboratively with others Thatrsquos why we go to school and college Sharing the goal increases intersubjectivity between the learner and the MKO and also helps decrease learner frustration because the learner knows that he is not alone in trying to achieve the taskLearning the task as a whole not concentrating on individual sub-skills of the task authentic original ill structured as in real lifework instead of simplified structured as in textbook classroomHelp the learner when he is at a point where he needs help in order to continue the task When learners are left for too long at a point where they cannot make progress they may lose interest and motivation andbecome frustrated

Assistance is tailored to the needs of the learner It is just enough to get the learner past his current difficulties The MKO assists only inthose steps that are beyond the learners abilityA model of a task that will lead the learner to accomplish the task efficiently This model provides a framework around which learners can organize their skills

The critical questions keep learners on the right track and lead them to think and deal with those the instructor wants them to deal with The critical questions are constructed in the assignments discussion instructions orthey may also be presented through email communications comments on discussion postings etc

Relevant resources are embedded at the places where the instructor anticipates the learners may encounter difficulties or provided through email communications comments on discussion postings assignments etc

In addition to instructor feedback can also be from peers ie comments on discussion postings individual contribution to group project It can come in writing or verbal through chat Facebook Google Docs video Conferencing Wiki When one student responses to a question others are listening reading Students donrsquot have to neither can they learn everything from instructor

Reflection

422011 ID Faculty 22

Critique of peer work can also serve the goal of

reflection because a student needs to analyze the

pros and cons if she wants to do a real good critique

A re-work of independent project is another format of

reflection This re-worked product can be a critique a

a lab project a piece of writing a presentation a video

clip or any other discipline-specific product

is practiced through writing or presentation

We can accomplish certain things by working independently depending on the knowledge and skills we already have We can accomplish a lot more when we have experts or more knowledgeable others to guide us or by working collaboratively with others Thatrsquos why we go to school and college Sharing the goal increases intersubjectivity between the learner and the MKO and also helps decrease learner frustration because the learner knows that he is not alone in trying to achieve the taskLearning the task as a whole not concentrating on individual sub-skills of the task authentic original ill structured as in real lifework instead of simplified structured as in textbook classroomHelp the learner when he is at a point where he needs help in order to continue the task When learners are left for too long at a point where they cannot make progress they may lose interest and motivation andbecome frustrated

Assistance is tailored to the needs of the learner It is just enough to get the learner past his current difficulties The MKO assists only inthose steps that are beyond the learners abilityA model of a task that will lead the learner to accomplish the task efficiently This model provides a framework around which learners can organize their skills

Articulating through discussion forum postings

individual projects assignments presentations

422011 ID Faculty 21

Through articulation the learners make their learning explicit through language so that community members have a basis of interaction to refine and expand understanding Articulation can be interwoven in a learning experience through a variety of strategies including discussion demonstration presentation and the exchange of written or other learner-produced artifacts

Reflection

422011 ID Faculty 22

Critique of peer work can also serve the goal of

reflection because a student needs to analyze the

pros and cons if she wants to do a real good critique

A re-work of independent project is another format of

reflection This re-worked product can be a critique a

a lab project a piece of writing a presentation a video

clip or any other discipline-specific product
