Q1=three principles of authentic learning?

Topic 149: Principles of authentic Learning 1

Four principles:

1. Activity involves real world problems.

2. Use open-ended inquiry, thinking, skills and metacognition.

3. Students engage in discourse and social learning.

4. Students direct their own learning.

Real World Problems

Students focus on a real problem and their engagement holds the possibility of having
an impact outside the classroom. E.g.

- Collection of water quality samples in teaching science. - Analyzing documents for

teaching history.

Inquiry and Thinking skills

Students to use higher levels of thinking. E.g.

For art class, reviewing visual and textual information in advertisements.

Topic 150: Principles of authentic Learning 2

Dialogue in a community of learners

- Students and industry leaders (where the project is based) to link up and share the
investigation to solve a problem. - For example, an online community linking students
with research scholars to collect data about a research project.

Students directed learning

- Students define the problem and select the line of action for its solution. - For example,
student making their own interpretations of literature and art. - Students to interact with
the wider community and reflect upon their experiences.

Q2=describe the “think pair share”

Think pair share

The instructor poses a question and gives students time to think. This think time can be
spent writing also. Students turn to a partner and share their responses. During the third
step, student responses can be shared within a four-person learning team, within a
large group, or with an entire class during a follow up discussion. Students learn by
reflection and by verbalization

Q3=importance of assessment for learning?

Assessment helps teachers to gain insight into what students understand; enables
teacher to plan and guide instruction effectively, and provide helpful feedback to
students.

The assessment for learning process can explain the approaches used by students and
help them to become more aware of not only what they are learning, but how they are
learning it.

Assessment for learning helps to locate the student’s position along the learning
progression.

Q4=what do we mean by questioning technology.

What do we mean by questioning techniques?

o Methods used for constructing and presenting questions in order to promote effective
discussion and learning or to elicit information.

Q5=five key elements of learning.

Topic 3: Key Elements of Learning

Learning is a product. Learning is a process. Learning as a product focuses on

outcome – the end product of some process. It can be recognized or seen. This
approach highlights a crucial aspect of learning change. Learning as a process
focuses on what happens when the learning takes place. Explanations of what
happens constitute learning theories.

Q6=difference between exploration and simulation based theory.

Q7=some of challenges that students can face during process of collaboration

Topic 179; Challenges

• Rewarding opportunity but full of challenges.

• Engaging students in group activity is hard work.

• Requires rethinking of course content and time allocation of syllabus.

• Tension between the process of student learning and content coverage.

• Classroom roles change.

• Complex roles and responsibilities of students and teachers.

• Power relationships are questioned or reshaped.

• Constrained by the traditional structures and cultures of the organization

Q8= difference between interpersonal or intrapersonal intelligent.

Topic 242: Interpersonal Intelligence

• Interpersonal Intelligence (people smart) is understanding others. • Ability is at a

premium in teachers, clinicians, salespersons and politicians. • Dealing with other
people requires skill in the interpersonal sphere.

• Interpersonally intelligent people enjoy: • Giving feedback • Understanding other’s

feelings • Person-to-person communication • Cooperative learning strategies: • Group
projects • Conducting an interview

Topic 241: Intrapersonal Intelligence

• It is a self-knowledge and the ability to act adaptively on the basis of that knowledge. •
This intelligence includes having an accurate picture of one’s strengths and
weaknesses. • It is awareness of inner moods, intentions, motivations, desires and
temperaments. • The capacity for self-discipline, self-understanding and self-esteem. •
Its how well you know yourself.

Teaching activities

Individualized instruction, independent study, options in course of study, self esteem

building.
Instructional Strategies

Connect it to your personal life, make choices with regard to it, reflect on it.

Q9=3 stages of burners theory.

Bruner put forwarded that:

The intellectual development progresses through three stages:

• Enactive • Iconic • Symbolic

However unlike the Piaget’s stages, Bruner did not insist that these stages were
necessarily agespecific or are unvarying in nature.

Enactive (birth- 3)

Action based: (concrete)

- Children view their environment in terms of what they can do with it. - At this stage
demonstrating to a child is most effective. A child will better show than tell.

Topic 136: Stages of Representation 2

Iconic (3-8 years)

Image-based: (pictorial)

- Children visualize how to do something without actually doing. - View things as they
perceives their environment, not how it is explained to them.

Symbolic (8-up)

Language-based: (abstract)

- Knowledge is stored mainly as words, mathematical symbols or in other symbol

systems.

Q10=two domains of transformational learning.

Transformative learning has two learning domains:

1. Building a new story for new information which can lead to re-examination and
modification of old stories.
2. Seeking of others’ experiences, perspectives and stories that will lead to further
transformative learning.

Q11=problem solving

What is problem?

A problem is a situation in which one has a goal but must find a means for reaching it.

(Chi & Glasser, 1985)

What is problem solving?

Problem solving refers to the effort to achieve a goal for which there is no automatic
solution.

Q12=motor skills

Topic 204: Motor Skills

Description

Executing movements in a number of organized motor acts such as playing sports or

dividing a car.

Conditions

Capability to perform a sequence of physical movements.

Conditions

It involves three stages:

1. Learning the sequence of the movement.

2. Practicing the movement.

3. Refining the movement based on the feedback received from the environment

Q13=what is behavioral objective ?

Behaviorism

Behavioral objectives
- Learning means learners show correct response to a certain stimulus.

Q14=process of learning

What are the processes of learning?

There are six interactive components of the learning process: attention, memory,
language, processing and organizing, graph motor (writing) and higher order thinking.
These processes interact not only with each other, but also with emotions, classroom
climate, behavior, social skills, teachers and family.

OR

The three major types of learning described by behavioral psychology are classical
conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning.

Q15=two criticism of discovery learning theory ?

Discovery Learning was introduced by Jerome Bruner, and is a method of Inquiry-

Based Instruction. This popular theory encourages learners to build on past
experiences and knowledge, use their intuition, imagination and creativity, and search
for new information to discover facts, correlations and new truths.

Topic 138: Critical Perspectives

Support: this theory:

- Actively engages students in the learning process.
- Motivates students to participate.
- Encourages autonomy and independence.
- Helps develop creativity and problem solving skills.
- Provides individualized learning experiences.
Criticism: this theory:
- May be overwhelming for learners who need more structure.
- May allow for possible misunderstanding.
- May prevent teachers from gauging whether students are having problems
best of luck

2nd paper

Q1= what is behavioral objective?

Q2=what is theory?

A theory is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking about a

phenomenon, or the results of such thinking. The process of contemplative and rational
thinking often is associated with such processes like observational study, research.

What is theory in simple words?

A theory is a group of linked ideas intended to explain something. ... The word 'theory'
has several meanings: a guess or speculation. a law about things which cannot be seen
directly, such as electrons or evolution.

Q3=advantages of visual learning style

The Benefits of Visual Learning and Teaching

develop higher-order thinking skills. ... enhance tactile hand-eye-mind connections that
improve the ability to recall facts and retain learning. serve the unique needs
of learners who process information primarily through visuals, as well as
increase learning for all students.

Topic 111: Learning Styles

The visual style

Advantage: makes recollection easier when in an environment which is different from

where you had learned the information.

Disadvantage: the difficulty when only texts and speeches are available for learning,
without any visual aids.

Q4=structure inquiry and open structure?

Structured inquiry
- Learner is given the problem and the procedure (method).

- Task is to generate an explanation that is supported by the evidence collected in the

procedure.

Students evaluate and analyze the collected data.

Open inquiry

- Learner formulates questions.

- Designs procedures (method) for carrying out an inquiry.

- Communicates results.

Often seen in science fair contexts where students pursue their own investigative
questions.

Q5=difference btw concrete operational and formal operational?

Cognitive Stages (Morrow, 2009; Ormond, 2003)

Jean Piaget's theory states that children move through four stages of logical reasoning:
Sensorimotor

Q6=REAL WORLD PROBLEM ?

Topic 149: Principles of authentic Learning 1

Four principles:

1. Activity involves real world problems.

2. Use open-ended inquiry, thinking, skills and metacognition.

3. Students engage in discourse and social learning.

4. Students direct their own learning.

Real World Problems

Students focus on a real problem and their engagement holds the possibility of having
an impact outside the classroom. E.g.

- Collection of water quality samples in teaching science.

- Analyzing documents for teaching history

Q7=What is engagement and motivation in assessment for learning?

Topic 227: Engagement and Motivation

- One of the most important purposes of assessment for learning is the role it plays in
student motivation.

- Assessment that encourages learning promotes motivation by highlighting progress

and achievement rather than failure.

- Developing students assessment capabilities engages and motivates them, and helps
them to become more independent learners.

Q8=how has technology facility authentic learning by student ?

Technology can enhance the authenticity of learning experiences by making them more
accessible to the pupils of modern times.

How is authentic learning with technologies?

Authentic learning empowers students to be self-directed learners. This process

engages students through challenges, solving problems, and making real-world
connections to the content. ... Don't use a tool for the sake of integrating technology if
that tool doesn't help your students to be more efficient or effective.

Q9=example of learning environment ?

Learning Environment

The way the classroom works and feels.

Example

- There are places in the classroom to work quietly and without distraction, as well as
places that invite student collaboration.

- Making sure there are places in the room to work quietly and without distraction, as
well as places that invite student collaboration;

- Providing materials that reflect a variety of cultures and home settings.

 Q10=discovery and inquiry learning?

Inquiry is the process of answering questions and solving problems based on facts and
observations, while discovery is finding concepts through a series of data or
information obtained through observation or experimentation. The inquiry process
emphasizes the intellectual (mental) development of the child.

Discovery Learning is not just about problem-solving, but the skills and knowledge
online learners develop during the process. For example, the talents they hone as they
work their way through a task simulation. ... Include serious games and branching
scenarios that utilize their skills and test their knowledge.

In the guided inquiry example of boiling water, the teacher knows that she wants
students to understand what happens when water boils. She creates a question that will
guide students to an outcome already known to them. The student-driven inquiry is
what happens after the guided inquiry.

Q11=verbal communication?

What is verbal communication?

Verbal communication is the use of words to share information with other people. It
can therefore include both spoken and written communication. However, many people
use the term to describe only spoken communication.
Verbal communication is the use of sounds and words to express yourself, especially
in contrast to using gestures or mannerisms (non-verbal communication). An
example of verbal communication is saying “No” when someone asks you to do
something you don't want to do. YourDictionary definition and usage example.

Four Types of Verbal Communication

• Intrapersonal Communication. This form of communication is extremely private and
restricted to ourselves. ...
• Interpersonal Communication. This form of communication takes place between two
individuals and is thus a one-on-one conversation. ...
• Small Group Communication. ...
• Public Communication.

Q12=challenges of collaboration?
 4 Team Collaboration Challenges—and How to Overcome Them
• No team governance. ...
• Lack of transparency. ...
• Competition. ...
• Poor engagement. ...
• Leverage team member strengths. ...
• Foster a culture of innovation. ...
• Collaboration starts with communication.

How to overcome 3 common project collaboration challenges

1. Poor communication. Miscommunication, misinterpretation, misunderstanding: Every
time we collaborate with someone else, there's potential for one or more of these
mishaps to occur. ...
2. Lack of proper planning. ...
3. Not using the right tools

1.What is differentiation?

Topic 211: What is Differentiation?

• A teacher’s response to learner’s needs.

• The recognition of students varying background knowledge and preferences.

• Instruction that accommodates students’ differences.

• Whenever a teacher reaches out to an individual or small group to vary his or her
teaching in order to create the best learning experience possible, that teacher is
differentiating instruction.

Why Differentiate?

• All kids are different.

• One size does not fit all.

• Differentiation provides all students with access to all curriculum

2.Importance of ASL

Topic 223: AfL is a process

For teachers:

- AfL helps teachers to gather information to plan and modify teaching and learning
programmes for individual students, groups of students and the class as a whole

For teachers: - AfL helps teachers to identify students’ learning needs in a clear and
constructive way so they can be addressed

For students: - AfL provides students with information and guidance so they can plan
and manage the next steps in their learning.

- AfL uses information to start from what has been learned to what needs to be learned
next.

3.Describe two types of conditioning,

Mainly are two operant and classical.
4.How a teacher can introduce PBL in class

Topic 182: Problem based Learning

Definition

PBL is an instructional strategy in which students work cooperatively to investigate and

resolve an ill-structured problem based on real-world issues or situations.

PBL is a style of active learning students develop:

- Flexible knowledge.

- Effective problem solving skills.

- Self directed learning.

- Effective collaboration skills and intrinsic motivation

5.Give two examples of authentic tasks

6.Difference b/w concrete operational stage and formal operational stage,

Repeat.
7.Elements of differentiated learning

Teachers can differentiate four classroom elements based on student readiness,

interest or learning profile:

Content

Process

Product

Learning environment

Content

What is being taught; what the students needs to learn or how the students will get
access to the information. You can differentiate the actual content being presented to
students.

Examples • Using reading materials at varying readability levels. • Using spelling or

vocabulary lists at readiness levels of students. • Presenting ides through both auditory
and visual means;

Process Activities in which the student engages in order to make sense of or master the
content. How the student learns what is being taught.

Example - Varying the length of time a student may take to complete a task in order to
provide additional support for a struggling learner or to encourage an advanced learner
to pursue a topic in greater depth.

Product - Culminating projects that ask the students to rehearse, apply and extend what
he or she has learned in a unit. - How the student shows what he or she has learned.
How is learning assessed.

Examples - Giving students options of how to express required learning (e.g. create a
play, write a letter or develop a picture with labels) - Using rubrics that match and
extend students’ varied skills levels.

Learning Environment

The way the classroom works and feels.

Example - There are places in the classroom to work quietly and without distraction, as
well as places that invite student collaboration. - Making sure there are places in the
room to work quietly and without distraction, as well as places that invite student
collaboration; - Providing materials that reflect a variety of cultures and home settings.

8.Implication of multiple intelligence

Topic 246: Implications

• MI theory challenges the widely held belief that intelligence is a unitary trait that can be
adequately measured by an IQ test. • MI theory claims that there are many ways to be
smart and that those abilities are expressed in our performances, products and ideas. •
MI theory does not direct teachers to practices, but serves as a catalyst. • MI theory
offers both a framework and a language to use to develop practices that best fit one’s
context.

9.What are the open questions give two examples

Open questions
- Open questions prompt longer answers. - They usually begin with what, why, how. -
An open question asks the respondent for his or her knowledge, opinion or feelings. -
Tell me and describe can also be used as an open question.

Examples:

o Tell me what happened next.

o Describe the circumstances in more detail.

10.Why we ask questions

“Good learning starts with questions, not answers”

Why ask questions?

• Check the students understanding of key points. o Check for mastery of basic
concepts.
• Stimulate interaction among students, as well as between student and instructor
11.Write at least three elements to be considered in collaborative learning
12.Student directed learning example

Students directed learning :

- Students define the problem and select the line of action for its solution.

- For example, student making their own interpretations of literature and art.

- Students to interact with the wider community and reflect upon their experiences

13.Criticism on discovery learning

Criticism: this theory:

- May be overwhelming for learners who need more structure. - May allow for possible
misunderstanding. - May prevent teachers from gauging whether students are having
problems.

14.Knowledge emphasis in situated cognition

What is the major emphasis of cognitive learning?

Cognitive learning is an immersive and active process that engages your senses in a
constructive and long-lasting way. ... Instead of emphasizing memorization as in the
traditional classroom method of learning, cognitive learning focuses on past
knowledge.

7. Difference between Assimilator and Diverger? 5 marks

Topic 124: Characteristics of Learning Styles

Accommodator-CE/AE (feeling and doing)

o Is a hands-on learner - Likes to take new challenges

o Is a team worker relies more on intuition than logic
o Is target oriented depends on others for problem solving

Diverger-CE/RO

o Likes to watch more than do

o Is sensitive, emotional and creative
o Prefers group work
o Uses own imagination for problem solving
o Shows open mind and accepts personal feedback

Assimilator-AC/RO
(thinking and watching)

o A thinker; needs time to think - Prefers a to the point, logical approach to

learning
o Likes to have clear explanation instead of practical opportunity
o Creates abstract ideas and theories

Converge-AC/AE

(thinking and doing)

9. What is cerebellum?

o Located at the back of the brain

o Part of the brain that changes most during the teen years
o Not finished growing even well into the early20s
o Involved in the coordination of our muscles
o Responsible for many learned physical skills such as posture, balance and
coordination
o Action like playing guitar takes effort first
▪ but becomes easier with practice because the memory of how to do
it is stored in the cerebellum
o Also known as “little brain”
▪ coordinates cognitive processes (thinking processes)
o Physical activity enhances development of the cerebellum, so….
o Sports/physical activities are good for the brain

10. Student directed learning

Topic 246: Implications

➢ MI theory challenges the widely held belief that intelligence is a unitary

trait that can be adequately measured by an IQ test.
➢ MI theory claims that there are many ways to be smart and that those
abilities are expressed in our performances, products and ideas.
➢ MI theory does not direct teachers to practices, but serves as a catalyst.
➢ MI theory offers both a framework and a language to use to develop
practices that best fit one’s context.

12. Rationale for using Authentic Learning

Rationale for using AL

o It is a key concept in Constructivists theory.

o It connects new knowledge to existing knowledge by encouraging
students to make direct connections between their new learning and the
real world in which they live.
