Teaching Student centered teaching represents a fundamental shift from the teacher being the center of attention in the classroom to the student as the center of learning Student centered teaching follows seven principles (Weimer, 2002): Principle 1: Teachers Do Learning Tasks Less Students more of: Organizing the content Generating the examples Asking the questions Answering the questions Summarizing the discussion Solving problems Constructing diagrams Principle 2: Teachers Do Less Telling; Students Do More Discovering Stop telling students everything and hold them accountable for knowing or asking Principle 3: Teachers Do More Design Work Effective assignments and activities: Increase student skills Motivate student involvement and participation Work that is related to the discipline/real world Develop content knowledge, learning skills, and awareness Principle 4: Faculty Do More Modeling Demonstrate for students how an expert approaches a learning task Principle 5: Faculty Do More to Get Students Learning from and with Each Other Use collaborative and cooperative groups for learning Principle 6: Faculty Work to Create Climates for Learning Create an environment of student accountability Principle 7: Faculty Do More with Feedback Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 Provide formative feedback separate from evaluation and grading The application of these principles can support a shift in the classroom from superficial surface learning to transformative deep learning Surface learning focuses on the identification, memorization, and recall of facts and surface levels information Deep learning, in contrast, emphasizes developing the cognitive constructs that link learning with existing knowledge, focuses on the understanding of complex processes of why and how, develops knowledge that is generalizable to other contexts and situations Surface learning is frequently short term, knowledge gained for the test or class Deep learning yields long lasting mental constructs Another way to look at the contrast between surface and deep learning is Bloom’s Taxonomy (Bloom, 1953) Bloom and his associates define six hierarchical levels for learning outcomes: Knowledge (Remember): Observation and recall of information (dates, events, places) Outcome Verbs: list, define, tell, describe, identify, show, label, collect, name Comprehension (Understand): Understanding information (meanings, predict consequences, order, group, infer causes) Outcome Verbs: summarize, describe, interpret, contrast, predict, associate, or distinguish Application (Apply): Use information (solve problems using required skills or knowledge) Outcome Verbs: apply, demonstrate, calculate, illustrate, solve, or experiment Analysis (Analyze): Seeing patterns and organization (recognition of hidden meanings) Outcome Verbs: analyze, explain, classify, select, or infer Synthesis (Create): Use old ideas to create new ones (relate knowledge from several areas) Outcome Verbs: combine, integrate, plan, create, design, or generalize Evaluation (Evaluate): Assess values of ideas (make choices based on supported arguments) Outcome Verbs: assess, decide, rank, grade, test, recommend, select, explain, or judge Surface level learning occurs when students not progress past the first or second level of Bloom’s Taxonomy Classical teaching of lectures and tests generally does not support the development of student skills past these levels A student can not learn to apply knowledge without having the opportunity to practice that application The Oxford Center for Staff Development (1995) identifies four critical ingredients for deep learning to occur: Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 Motivational Context: Students should be motivated to learn because they recognize the value in the learning not simply to pass an exam Active Learning: Students are actively engaged in learning and the learning experience rather than passive observers Interaction with Others: Students have opportunities to explore the learning content through discourse with peers and the teacher A Well-Structured Knowledge Base: New learning must be integrated both with itself and connected to what the student already knows and believes Lesson Planning The implementation of student centered instruction and deep learning begins with a standard outline for in-class and out-of-class activities: In-Class Activities Class sessions can be structured around 25 minute blocks Each class should begin with: An entry task that explores previous knowledge and correction, assessment, and reteaching of entry task or in place of an entry task, homework can be reviewed and used to assess student understanding (15 minutes) Each class should end with: Final discussion to summarize entire session and integrate the component parts (5 minutes) Advanced organizer/preview for next class and readings (5 minutes) This leaves blocks in a hour class and blocks in a hour class Depending on course outcomes and content, the instructor will select a combination of blocks of presentation of new material, guided practice, or independent practice as a structure for the class session Presentation of new material: Present new material (15 minutes) Assess student understanding (10 minutes) Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 Guided practice (group or whole class works together): Guided practice (20 minutes) Closure to allow students to reflect on and communicate what they learned (5 minutes) Independent practice (student works individually): Independent practice (20 minutes) Closure to allow students to reflect on and communicate what they learned (5 minutes) Tests, exams, field trips, student presentations, and other special events deviate from this outline, but this model provides a general structure for the traditional class session Some class activities might require more than 25 minutes These can be broken into smaller chunks to maintain instructional variety and insure that students are using reflective practice as they go along rather than just a single reflection at the end of an activity Out-of-Class Activities For every hour of in-class time, students should expect to spend 2-3 hours outside of class on activities such as: Reading and research Additional independent or group practice Reflection and writing The goal of student centered teaching rests on two methodological pillars: active teaching strategies and cooperative and collaborative learning This lesson plan outline provides a structure for planning the learning experience, but these instructional methodologies put the meat on the bones of this structure Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 Active Teaching Strategies In its most general sense, a teaching strategy is an instructor’s plan for what he/she will say and to enable and empower the student to learn Classical teaching strategies view learning as merely the transmission of information from the teacher to the student The instructor is the primary source of knowledge, and lecture is the primary form of transferring this knowledge Traditional teaching strategies have several limitations First, lecture is a passive form of teaching It is rarely as engaging or interesting to the student as it is to the instructor Lecture can only be effective for low level learning outcomes such as the observation and recall of information Lecture also focuses on the inputs to learning, which is to say the book or the instructor’s notes, but not on the outcome, which is student learning To quote Immanuel Kant, “Lecture is the process by which the faculties’ notes become the students’ notes without passing through the heads of either.” Classical, instructor centered learning does not make sense when one considers what learning is To quote Bruce Lee, “Learning is definitely not mere imitation, nor is it the ability to accumulate and regurgitate fixed knowledge Learning is a constant process of discovery, a process without end.” Learning must take place with the student, and thus the student should be the focus of the process, not the instructor Classical teaching is also limited because it assumes that all learners are the same and that a single lecture and presentation of information meets the needs of every student In fact, learners vary widely in terms of personal learning styles, backgrounds, and preexisting knowledge, which makes any single teaching strategy inappropriate for some of the students in your class Learning is a unique experience for each individual and using a variety of teaching strategies allows you to reach more students Classical teaching techniques are limited by an interesting paradox (Stolovitch and Keeps, 2003) There are two types of knowledge, declarative knowledge (knowledge about things…who, what where, when) and procedural knowledge (knowledge about how to things) Experts have a great deal of procedural knowledge that forms the basis for their expertise However, when asked to share or teach, experts will almost always attempt to share this procedural knowledge by explaining it in declarative terms Unfortunately, research has shown that it is very difficult to translate declarative knowledge into procedural knowledge Procedural knowledge can be best gained by doing Two documentaries (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 1997) vividly demonstrate the failings of traditional teaching methods to yield long term learning “Can We Believe Our Eyes?” from the Minds of Our Own series (http://www.learner.org/resources/series26.html ) shows high school and college students unable to light a light bulb using a battery, piece of wire, and bulb “A Private Universe” (http://www.learner.org/resources/series28.html ) begins with graduates, alumni, and faculty at Harvard and MIT graduation ceremonies unable to correctly Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 explain the cause of the seasons Clearly, the problems are not simply poor schools or poor students, but a fundamental flaw in the education model Active learning requires that students are engaged and active in the learning process The instructor serves a coach or facilitator, guiding students through activities, but letting the students take control of the learning event itself In this model, learning becomes a process of discovery like research To quote Sophocles, “One must learn by doing the thing, for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try.” One way to look at the differences between traditional and active teaching strategies is to compare two strategies for how children learn vocabulary (from Miller and Gildea, quoted in Brown and Duguid, 2000, p 133): Abstract and dictionary definitions: 100-200 words per year Everyday conversation: 5,000 words per year Another example of the difference in learning achievement associated with active learning strategies is a research project from Sinclair Community College (Rowell, 2003) Introductory sociology courses were divided into a control and experimental groups and given a pre and post testing of a series of questions related to data analysis in the social sciences The courses were taught the same except that the experimental group sections actually performed data analysis The control sections saw no change from the pre to post test, while the experimental group performance improved from 44.6% of students on the pre-test were able to answer or more questions right out of to 70% Hake (2002) surveyed 62 introductory physics courses including 6542 student Hake’s survey used a pre and post test to assess student learning from these courses He also collected data on teaching methods used to be able to compare the outcomes of different teaching methodologies Hake’s findings support that active teaching methods (described as “interactive engagement methods” in his study) generally produce greater student learning and develop stronger problem solving skills than traditional methods Active teaching strategies are particularly important to serve the needs of students who traditionally have been academically poor performers Boylan and Saxon (1999) cite several sources to support their observation that “if traditional teaching methods had worked for these students, they would not be taking remedial courses.” (p 3) In particular, Boylan and Saxon report that several studies have documented that most poor performing college students have a learning styles preference either for visual or hands-on approaches rather than auditory Boylan (2002) cite several other studies that support the value of active learning: Most effective teaching technique (McKeachie, 2002) Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 The components of this instructional delivery model address the four requirements for deep learning: Motivational Context: Activation includes activities to trigger student motivation Learner Activity: Application provides a structure for learners to interact with the learning Interaction with Others: Learner Support and Reflection provide opportunities for discourse and exchange Well-Structured Knowledge Base: Activation, Presentation, and Reflection provide opportunities for organizing the learning and relating it to previous experience Below is a more thorough look at each stage of the process along with implementation strategies Activation Activation is the process of preparing the student to learn It is the first thing that should happen at the beginning of any learning activity or event, or in our case, a class session of some kind The Activation component shown here addresses the first three of Gagné’s “Nine Events of Instruction” (Gagné, 1985), which are to: Gain attention Inform learner of objectives Stimulate recall of prior learning A primary objective of this component is to increase student motivation to learn As you know, you are not responsible for creating the motivation to learn and there are many theories available about the impact of the instructor on student motivation For our purposes, we will assume that the student has some motivation to learn This leads to a discussion of the four conditions that must be met for a student to become motivated (Keller, 1983): 1) 2) 3) 4) Attention: I am interested Relevance: I can use this Confidence: I have a belief I can it Satisfaction: I will obtain rewards and/or sense of achievement Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 11 To address the needs of adult learners, the instructor should: Let learners know why something is important to learn Show learners how to direct themselves through information Relate the topic to learner’s experiences and use examples that the students are familiar with, if possible Understand that people will not learn until ready and motivated to so and that the attitude and enthusiasm of the instructor can impact this motivation, in both positive and negative ways Help students overcome inhibitions, behaviors, and beliefs about learning Imagine two stone carvers The first explains that she is carving a block of stone The second explains that she is building a cathedral Which is more motivated? The same principle operates with students The student who sees (or is shown) the bigger picture will be more motivated “People learn in response to need When people cannot see the need for what is being taught, they ignore it, reject it, or fail to assimilate it any meaningful way Conversely, when they have a need, then, if the resources are available, people learn effectively and quickly.” (Brown and Duguid, 2000, p.136) During the activation phase, the instructor should introduce the learning outcomes and objectives of the activity, describe what the student is to learn, explain how it relates to other material, demonstrate why this is useful to know These activities are critical to stimulate the necessary motivation for learning to occur Learning outcomes are critical, as all of other components of a learning activity or event must derive from the outcome(s) The last aspect of the activation phase is the process of activating or stimulating the student’s existing knowledge on the topic This may be knowledge from previous courses, personal or professional experience, the previous class session, or from assigned readings The key is to allow the student to determine their own level of existing knowledge so they can use the learning event as an opportunity to add to their knowledge base Several activities can be used as part of the activation stage (see the Activity List for a complete description of each of these activities): Three Step Interview One Minute Paper Background Knowledge Probe Write/Pair/Share Class Discussion Concept or Mind Map Questions Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 12 Expository Advanced Organizer Comparative Advanced Organizer Presentation of Information The presentation of information is the most familiar component of instruction It is often thought of as the “sage on the stage” model of instruction Active teaching strategies does not exclude lecture as a significant form for presenting information but rather repositions lecture with a specific function in the learning process The learner needs to know certain information to achieve the learning outcome, and that knowledge is established through the presentation of information This stage addresses two of Gagné’s “Nine Events of Instruction” (Gagné, 1985): Present the content Provide the learning guide A key component of the content to be presented should be the modeling of how an expert approaches a problem or task related to the outcome The modeling serves as an important guide for the student as they apply their knowledge in the Application component Expert modeling is a narrative description that describes how the expert approaches the problem, selects and implements a solution, and assesses the outcome Some of the issues that should be addressed include (Jonassen and Hernandez-Serrano, 2002): What are the goals? What are the constraints? What features are most important? What activities are involved in solution? What are the steps in the reasoning? What solutions were not chosen? Was the outcome fulfilled? Were expectations violated? What were the lessons learned? The presentation of content can take many forms including but not limited to: Lecture Textbook/readings Content Centered Active Learning Strategies Lecture Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 13 Effective lecture is where an instructor adds value to the other forms of presentation and provides one or more of the following functions (McKeachie et al, 1994): Provides extra information not covered in readings Models and/or demonstrates how an expert does something Highlights key points and concepts Develops different delivery techniques to meet different learning styles Enhances student curiosity and motivation Repeats and reinforces critical elements Stops after 15 minutes and changes the activity Lecture should not only be a one-way communication flow from the instructor to the students It should be integrated with other activities that create accountability for paying attention, enable practice and review, and reinforce the presentation Apple and Krumsieg (2000), provide some of the following strategies to accomplish this task: Give a quiz given at the end of class on the material covered Provide a set of critical questions to be processed during the lecture Form cooperative lecture teams that are given five minutes to discuss the lecture after every 15 minutes Identify a problem which students are to solve based on the material (self-assessment) Allow for inquiry time when students can ask questions to illustrate what they know and don’t know Textbook/Readings If lecture is limited to only 15 minutes, how students get the information they need to know? Reading of the textbook and other reading assignments becomes essential, but too often students either not the reading or they not know how to process the reading To overcome this problem, students must be held accountable for reading prior to class The strategies for accomplishing this often parallel those of the lecture You can: Give a quiz given at the start of class on the reading Provide a set of critical questions to be processed during the reading Form cooperative lecture teams that are given five minutes to discuss the reading at the start of class Identify a problem which students are to solve based on the reading (self-assessment) Allow for inquiry time at the start of class when students can ask questions to illustrate what they know and don’t know Request that students keep a reading journal or log that they bring to class to show they have done the reading Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 14 Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 15 Content Centered Active Learning Strategies Active learning strategies can be either problem or content based Problem based strategies focus on applying the concepts being learned to solve a problem or in an application Content based strategies use an activity for the teaching of the concepts A variety of cooperative learning or facilitated classroom techniques can be used to stimulate and generate learning in an active fashion that integrates student participation into the presentation Several activities can be used as part of the presentation of information (see the Activity List for a complete description of each of these activities): Jigsaw Guided-discovery Learning/Student Research Article Abstract Application The Application phase allows the students to apply and practice what they are learning The application should be directly related to the learning outcome This component addresses one of the most important of Gagné’s “Nine Events of Instruction” (Gagné, 1985): Elicit performance (practice) The application phase can take many forms including, but not limited to, having students work either individually or in groups to write a paper, develop a presentation, work on a project, or perform one or more of the following activities (see the Activity List for a complete description of each of these activities): Pass a Problem Three Step Interview One Minute Paper Roundtable Class Discussion Role Play Failure Analysis Concept or Mind Map Academic Controversies Directed Paraphrasing Categorizing Grid Defining Features Matrix Pro and Con Grid Analytic Memo Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 16 Contemporary Issues Journal Problem Based Learning Frame Sentence Data Analysis Futuring The activity must match the targeted learning outcome to be effective An outcome requiring students to demonstrate knowledge will use a different type of activity than an outcome based on students applying that knowledge, and analysis using that knowledge would require yet another type of activity Reflection In order for students to retain what they learn, they must create an explicit mental model by thinking about what they are doing and why they are doing it This occurs through the process of reflection This component addresses one of the most important of Gagné’s “Nine Events of Instruction” (Gagné, 1985): Enhance retention and transfer Reflection can be achieved using small group or class discussion, student journals, or a combination of several other methods Reflection can be open-ended where the student is simply instructed to discuss or write about what they have learned or their experiences Alternatively, the discussion can be question-driven, where students are given specific questions to address that are ultimately intended to support the learning outcome Questions and Discussion to Generate Reflection The instructor serves as the primary facilitator of discussion and has these responsibilities (adopted from Socratic Teaching (Foundation for Critical Thinking, 2003)): Keep discussion focused Stimulate the discussion with probing questions Summarize periodically what has and what has not been dealt with and/or resolved Draw as many students as possible into the discussion These are some examples of some examples of discussion starters: Personal Experience: Ask the students to provide their personal experience using questions such as: o Based on your experience, what you feel are the issues? Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 17 o Describe an organization/situation/experience that you have had that relates to this o How have you been affected by this? o What you do/think differently as a result? Student Role Play: Assign roles to students such as to develop their own discussion questions, summarize a section of the discussion, present on a particular topic or reading, or provide peer evaluation and feedback Self-Reflection: Ask the students how they have changed individually as a result of the learning event Student teams will work at different rates and will not always complete an activity at the same time Depending on the circumstances, there can be a large variance in the range of time required by teams to complete an activity The correct use of Critical Thinking Questions can lessen these differences and make it easier for faculty to manage the situation Directed questions are placed first because they build an information foundation and are the type of question students should be able to answer quickly, preventing teams from going off on errant tangents The divergent question is placed at the end as an “equalizer” for faster teams who reach this question well ahead of the others A divergent question can take up a great deal of time (especially with some added facilitation and intervention on the part of the faculty member) allowing other teams time to catch up Note that all teams may not get as far into their work on the divergent question It is important, though to reward or acknowledge the efforts of the faster team(s) for their additional work, especially if it is of high quality Activities to Generate Reflection Another approach to facilitate reflection is to make the application a group project As students work in a group, they have to explain their thinking to their fellow team members Different size groups yield different effects For reflection, a group of three creates an inherently unbalanced situation that usually sparks active discussion Groups of four work well as they enable subdivision into pairs for paired activities Several activities can be used as part of the reflection process (see the Activity List for a complete description of each of these activities): Three Step Interview One Minute Paper Write/Pair/Share Activity Matrix Class Discussion Concept or Mind Map Questions Metacognition Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 18 After Action Review Double Entry Journal Focused Freewriting Open-Ended Journals Semi-Structured Journals Guided Journals Laboratory Notebook Contemporary Issues Journal Exam Preparation Journal Learner Guidance and Support The application component will create a product that serves an assessment role This will allow both the instructor and the student to assess whether or not the student has achieved the learning outcomes for the module It also serves a prompt for the student for what aspects of the learning they have not mastered Learner guidance and support include activities that assist the learner in overcoming roadblocks and in learning from their experiences This component addresses the final two of Gagné’s “Nine Events of Instruction” (Gagné, 1985): Provide feedback Assess final performance Feedback works best the instructor can observe students as they work and provide just in time assistance as needed This is another reason why it is important to not dominate the class with lecture Feedback can include constructive suggestions on how to improve performance, provide encouragement, and/or provide scaffolding to assist the learner Scaffolding includes hints, tips, and suggestions to assist the student without doing the thinking for the student In some instances, the instructor and the student might use cooperative problem solving to solve a problem as a team This support increases the student’s confidence and models expert behavior A related form of learner support is sequencing The instructor can provide several activities in increasing order of difficulty and/or decreasing scaffolding allows students to build confidence and skill For example, an initial problem can be demonstrated by the instructor, a second solved by the class as a whole, and a third in small groups before a student works on a fourth problem individually Feedback should more appropriately be thought as “feedforward” (Goldsmith, 2004), because the purpose is to improve future student performance This forward looking context is important Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 19 for establishing a positive environment oriented towards learning and progress Some general suggestions for providing feedback include (Bean, 1996): Focus first on the higher-order issues such as ideas and organization of a paper before worrying about lower-level concerns such as sentence structure and format Take every opportunity to make compliments and point out student successes Provide an end comment that both praises the good points and makes specific suggestions for future improvement Feedback can also be provided using peers This increases student learning and shifts some of the load away from the instructor Several activities can be used to provide learner guidance and support stage (see the Activity List for a complete description of each of these activities): Three Step Interview One Minute Paper Background Knowledge Probe Write/Pair/Share Visible Quiz Concept Review Class Discussion Questions Directed Paraphrasing Pairs Check Quiz Show Assessment should be embedded into the application component, but it is also a critical dimension of learner support and guidance Assessment is a measurement of how well the goal of an output is being met The instructor formally and/or informally evaluates students’ achievement of the learning objectives and identifies areas that need more work Learners need frequent and clear assessment related feedback, especially in the early stages of a class This feedback helps them feel connected to the class and more confident in their abilities Effective Teaching and Learning Revised: 10/19/22 20 References Anderson, L.W and Krathwohl (Eds.)
