Focus on Deep Learning Learning facts can be a crucial backdrop
but it is not learning for understanding Understanding is the ability to think and
act flexibly with what one knows Deep learning is the ability to show one’s
gasp of a topic and at the same time advance it and use it in new ways
Teaching for Understanding - 4 Cornerstones of Pedagogy
What shall we teach? Generative Topics
What is worth teaching?
Understanding Goals
How shall we teach for understanding?
Understanding Performances
How can students & teachers know what students understand?
On-going Assessment
Generative Topics
Issues, themes, concepts and ideas that provide enough depth, significant connections and variety of perspectives to support student development of powerful understandingsExamples: Bio: Definition of life; rain forests; dinosaurs Maths: The concept of zero; number patterns; etc History: Survival; revolution; conflicts etc Literature: Humour; folktales; etc
‘Understanding’ Goals
Concepts, processes, skills that we want students to understandExamples: Maths: Ss will understand both
inductive and deductive reasoning to prove 2 triangles are congruent
Bio: Ss will understand how to distinguish between living things and non-living things
‘Understanding’ Performances
Explaining; solving a problem; building an argument; constructing a product and so on. Basically, it is a kind learning activities to find out students’ understanding over timeExamples: Maths: Use of % in real life situation.
Students collect and compile data about school attendance and calculate the absence rate, etc then create graph to present their data, collect feedback and revise the graphs
On-going Assessment
Assessment: Criteria for each performance of
understanding Feedback:
Provide Ss with information how well they did and what to improve
Inform Ts’ planning and subsequent class activities
For Ss to reflect on their own work
Example of On-going Assessment
Maths: Criteria:
qualities of the survey effective use of %
Feedback: Ss share drafts of their surveys Submit graphs and chart to T for
comment Self-evaluation for T assessment as part
of the final grade
