Reflect on these quotes
“It is not proposed that the children of the poor should be educated in a manner to elevate their minds above the rank they are destined to fill in society… Utopian schemes for an extensive diffusion of knowledge would be injurious and absurd.” (Colquhoun, 1806, writing about education in England)
“We must get away from the idea that it is only the people at the top who should be thinking, and the job of everybody else is to do as told. Instead we want to bring about a spirit of innovation, of learning by doing, of everybody each at his own level all the time asking how he can do his job better.” (The Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Goh Chok Tong, 1997, at the opening of the 7th International Conference on Thinking)

Educational Aims
“Human beings have potential for developing in many directions and the problem of educational aims is deciding which kinds of development should be fostered and whichdiscouraged”
Wringe, C., 1988, ‘Understanding Educational Aims’, P.43)

Key Questions for Curriculum
• What knowledge is most useful to attain?• Why is this knowledge most useful to attain?• How is this knowledge most effectively
attained or created?

Lets do some modelling
Think of the best and the worse programme you attended
• What made it very good or very bad for you?• What specific experiences or components
in the curriculum made the difference?

![Page 26: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Major curriculum paradigms(the Academic Perspective)
Classical HumanistFocuses on the development of a rational mind through instruction in established Forms of Knowledge.
Traditional schools subjects are derived from this paradigm.
ProgressiveFocuses on the individual needs and growth of learners. What is learned is open to negotiation between teacher and learner. Experiential approaches to learning are emphasised.
Cultural ReproductionFocuses on providing learners with a broad and representative introduction into the culture of society. Emphasises a broad and varied curriculum, e.g., sciences, arts, sports, etc.
ReconstructivistFocuses on producing a critical perspective, seeking improvements in society. This often involves not just technological improvement but also issues of equity and social justice.

Curriculum Models• Curriculum models help designers to systematically and transparently map out the
rationale for the use of particular teaching, learning and assessment approaches• The curriculum is then structured based on the key principles of the model
Main Models:• Product Model (plans and intentions)• Process Model (learning activities and the experience)Some Specific Models:
– Outcomes-based – Standards-based– Competency-based– Problem-based learning– Understanding by Design– Integrated curriculum– Spiral Curriculum

What is PBL?
“The principal idea behind problem-based learning is…that the starting point for learning should be a problem, a query or a puzzle that the learner wishes to solve”
(Boud. D, 1995, p.13. Enhancing Learning through Self Assessment. London: Kogan Page)
Problem-based courses start with problems rather than with exposition of disciplinary knowledge. They move students towards the acquisition of knowledgeand skills through a staged sequence of problems presented in context, together with associated learning materials and support from teachers
![Page 39: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What I know best I have taught
“…the individuals learning the most in the teacher-centred classrooms are the teachers there. They have reserved for themselves the very conditions that promote learning:
actively seeking new information, integrating it with whatis known, organising it is a meaningful way, and explaining it to others”
(Huba & Freed, 2000)
![Page 40: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
“The search for educational methodologies that emphasisereal world challenges, higher order thinking skills,multi-disciplinary learning, independent learning, teamwork and communication skills has a confluence in the holistic approach to problem-based learning”.
(Tan Oon Seng, 2000)
![Page 41: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Competencies for a Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE)
• Problem-solving• Communication and team-working• Creativity and innovation• Leadership• Adaptability• Learning-to-learn skills
![Page 42: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Key Features of PBL Activities
PBL activities can vary in terms of size, structure and discipline involvement. However, they typically involve:• Working on real world tasks – developing specific and
generic competences• Process driving content• Active and collaborative learning• Accessing, organising and making sense of relevant
content knowledge• Developing learning to learn skills and dispositions
![Page 43: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

PBL Sequence of Activity
There is no universal approach to PBL, but the following features are characteristic of the process• Presentation of problem as a simulation of professional practice or a
‘real life’ situation• Generation of questions and use of thinking to explore the problem
and plan a course of action that will lead to its solution• Collaborative research activity to access and explore information
sources in order to build up of knowledge base of relevant resources relating to the problem
• Presentations of information found, peer teaching and application of the learning to the problem situation
• Review of the problem in relation to new knowledge and evaluation of the learning process
![Page 45: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Pedagogic benefits attributed to PBL
• Is consistent with established knowledge on how we learn. The active learning ‘real world’ approach helps students to create knowledge structures/mental models that facilitate understanding (deep learning). This enables rapid recall in situations of future practice and transfer of learning
• Promotes both independent and cooperative learning by empowering students in the organisation of the learning process
• Fosters core competencies and dispositions essential for lifelong learning
• Models the world of what professionals actually do -hence a better means of preparation for work than traditional content based curricula.
![Page 47: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
PBL problems should…
• contain ‘cues’ that trigger learners to identify the desired learning outcomes
• be at the appropriate level of complexity for learners profile
• integrate knowledge, skills and attitudes across topics
• mirror the real world of professional practice• promote collaborative and active learning• sufficiently identify the expected task and context
![Page 48: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

The Director of DACE has requested us to consider the usefulness of problem-based learning as a means of making the curriculum more suited to the needs of a knowledge-based economy.
The above could be a PBL activity for us as teaching professionals. You will notice that the problem is:
• Real world based- relevant to our professional lives• Involves much research activity, good thinking and the development of a rich knowledge base• Requires collaborative learning• Challenging but achievable
![Page 51: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Designing a PBL Curriculum
• Produce a discipline map for each subject (e.g., key concepts, principles procedures) that are to constitute the content objectives
• Identify the generic competences to be developed (e.g., types of thinking, team-working, communications skills, etc)
• Prepare a range and progression of problems that facilitate the integration of content objectives and generic competences
![Page 52: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

How to Integrate the CurriculaFogarty, R, 2009, Sage: London
Why integrate curricula:- Principles of learning- Nature of knowledge in the real world- Interest and meaning for students
“...one critical element of integrated learning is the lifelike projects that are relevant and meaningful to students” (p.9)
![Page 56: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Models of Integration
• Cellular – Traditional, forms of knowledge (Hirst & Peters)• Connected – Within topic linking and structuring• Nested - Connecting content knowledge with a thinking skill and/or social skill• Sequenced – topics in different subject areas are arranged to coincide with each other, and
similar ideas/concepts taught in relation with each other• Shared - Two disciplines are considered for overlapping concepts/ideas as organizing elements –
as well as overlapping content• Webbed - Integrates a number of subject disciplines through a key theme. Uses a deductive
approach, starting with the big understanding/idea• Threaded - Focuses on infusing a key thinking skill (e.g., compare and contrast)• Integrated - Full integration across a number of disciplines (wider extension of Shared). Uses
an inductive approach, from a deep understanding of each discipline and comparison of disciplines for natural integration
• Immersed – Individual focused – deep study, doing own integration• Networked – Similar to immersed, but involving wider network (e.g., other experts in
different fields
![Page 57: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Determining Curriculum Models

What is Pedagogy?
Pedagogy has evoked much debate in terms of adequate definition. Approaches to pedagogy have gone through various phases, focusing on such aspects as ‘teaching styles’, ‘paradigms of learning’, ‘models and methods of teaching’ and the ‘context of teaching’.
…any conscious activity by one person designed to enhance learning in another.
(Mortimore, 1999, p.3)
![Page 64: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
What are Instructional methods?
An instructional method, in the broadest sense, refers to any planned activity on the part of the teacher that seeks to promote identified learning.
Examples?

Is this still the case now?“Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance.
In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach”
![Page 66: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Sadly, Education has been a Creature of Fashion
For those of us who have been around education for a few decades or so –you may remember Traditional (3 RRR’s) - Progressive Education - Back to Basics (Traditional) Now Student-centred, inquiry-based, game-based, etc)

Psychological Effects
• Primacy Effect (the tendency for the first items presented in a series to be remembered better or more easily)
• Recency Effect (the tendency for the most recently presented items or experiences to be remembered best)
• • Von Restorff Effect (the tendency to remember distinct or
novel items and experiences)

Moving out of Educational Jurassic Park“Contrary to common belief, people don’t have different learning styles. They do, however, have different personalities. The distinction is important, because we need to be clear that everybody learns in the same way” (Schank. R., 1999, p.48)
“Emphasizing learning styles...are noted for their lack of impact”
(Hattie, J, 2009, A synthesis of over 800 Meta-Analyses Relating to Achievement,p.199)
“While our lives and our problems are very different, our brains work in similar ways” (Goulston, 2009, p.3)

Towards a Science of Learning
…over the past 3 decades, we have amassed enough research and theory about learning to derive a truly research based-model of instruction.
(Marzano, 1992, p.2)
There are systematic and principled aspects of effective teaching, and there is a base of verifiable evidence of knowledge that supports that work in the sense that it is like engineering or medicine.
(Darling-Hammond & Bransford, 2006, p.12)

A Learning Design is a planned experience (e.g., a Strategy involving a number of instructional methods, activities and resources) that facilitates desired learning outcomes for a group of students.
A Learning Activity is any task (e.g., experiment, case, project, etc) that students are given to do, which aims to build key understanding/competence relating to specific learning outcomes.

The Essential Questions• How to produce a Learning Design that can
effectively and efficiently facilitate the desired learning?
• How to actually facilitate the learning experience for students in practice?
![Page 76: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Planning the Learning Design• What Learning Outcomes (objectives) are to be met
– Specific subject content (facts, concepts, principles, procedures)– Other graduate attributes (e.g., teamwork/communication, types of
thinking, ethical reasoning, etc)• What Instructional Methods can be employed
– (e.g., explanation, demonstration, Q & A, group work, simulation, etc)• What Activities can support learning/assessment
– (e.g., performance task, case, project, etc)• What additional Resources can support learning
– (e.g., texts, handouts, web links, etc)• How can an effective and efficient strategy be designed for this
group of learners?
Note: this process is Iterative , not Linear

Core Principles of Learning
1. Learning goals, objectives and expectations are clearly communicated
2. Learners’ prior knowledge is activated and connected to new learning
3. Motivational and Attentional strategies are incorporated into learning designs
4. Content is organized around key concepts and principles that are fundamental to understanding the key structure of a subject
5. Self-directed learning is encouraged through facilitating the development of good thinking
![Page 78: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Core Principles of Learning [cont’d]
6. Instructional methods and presentation mediums engage the range of human of senses (e.g. visual, auditory, kinaesthetic)
7. Learning design takes into account the working of memory systems
8. Learner competence is promoted through active and experiential learning
9. A psychological climate is created which is positive, success orientated and promotes self-esteem
10. Assessment practices are integrated into the learning design to promote desired learning outcomes and provide quality feedback
![Page 79: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Core Principles – A Synergetic System
While each principle focuses attention on a key area relating to effective pedagogy, they are not discrete or separate in that they should be considered independently of each other. In fact, they are mutually supporting, interdependent and potentially highly synergetic.
As Stigler & Hiebert (1999) highlight:
Teaching is a system. It is not a loose mixture of individual features thrown together by the teacher. It works more like a machine, with the parts operating together and reinforcing one another, driving the vehicle forward. (p.75)
![Page 80: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Using Core Principles Thoughtfully- The Situated Context of learning
Effective and creative design of learning involves a thoughtful consideration of the core principles as well as relevant situated factors in the construction of teaching and learning strategies. Key situated factors involve:
The specific learning outcomes (e.g., recall of facts, conceptual understanding, competence, etc)
Learner characteristics (e.g., motivational level, prior competence, learner preferences, etc)
Learning context and resource availability (e.g., learning environment, facilities, resources, etc)
![Page 81: Reflect on these quotes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56815720550346895dc4bf96/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Core Principles in the Online Environment
The core principles that underpin good learning design in the face-to-face learning context are equally applicable to designing and managinglearning in the online environment. Learning online does not changethe way the human brain functions or the basic processes of learning.
Colvin Clarke (2005) illustrates this fundamental point when he arguedthat:
The most robust instructional principles are those based on a model of human psychological learning processes….Any given instructional method will be effective or ineffective depending on the extent to which it supports or disrupts basic-learning psychological processes regardless of the delivery media. (p.594)
