Andragogy analysis debate education learning teaching

  • Lauren D on 09 Jun 12
     
    The debate started with Malcolm Knowles, who fueled the conversation, stating that children and adults learn differently according to four assumptions: 1. As a person matures the self-concept moved from dependency toward self-direction 2. Maturity brings an accumulating reservoir of experience that becomes an increasing resource for learning 3. As the person matures, readiness to learn is increasingly oriented towards the person's social roles 4. As the person matures the orientation towards learning becomes less subject-centered and increasingly problem-centered

    Students attracted to online learning tend to fall into the "non-traditional" categories, particularly adult learners who are balancing work and other responsibilities -How does the student manage his or her time? -How does the student respond when clarification is needed and no one is there to ask? -What are the student's organizational skills? -How does the student feel about the limited social interaction? -How much time does the student need to read and process written information?

Integrating Web 2.0 Tools into the Classroom: Changing the Culture of Learning | CCT - 0 views

  • This report presents findings from a two-year investigation of the ways in which Web 2.0 tools and social networking technologies are being used to support teaching and learning in classrooms across the United States.
  • Currently, there is much discussion and excitement about Web 2.0 in education, but we still know very little about how these tools actually work in the classroom. Therefore, the goal of this research was simply to interview and observe educators and students who are experimenting with these tools in the classroom to see what uses are emerging and to explore the learning affordances of blogs, wikis, and other Web 2.0 tools.
  • between school/home, public/private or youth/adult culture, it presents an emerging challenge. Web 2.0 technologies are fundamentally reshaping and realigning many aspects of the communication loop: the people with whom teachers, students, and parents communicate; how they communicate; what they communicate about; and where and when they communicate. These ongoing processes bring to the fore exciting opportunities and novel challenges for educators. As schools use these technologies to build communities, the old boundaries between public and private, in school and out of school, and youth culture and adult culture are melting away and being redrawn.

    Am I missing a link on this? I clicked on both this one and the other version you posted below because the topic looks fascinating. But for the Taylor & Francis they wanted me to pay $246 (sorry, not happening) and the ERIC link just took me to the abstract page. I know I can get to ERIC through the Kaplan Library and do a title search for this piece there ... but is there a more direct way to view the article full-text? Thanks - Rhonda

Faculty Development for Online Teaching as a Catalyst for Change | The Sloan Consortium - 0 views

teaching online learning course design classroom faculty development online change

shared by lkryder on 11 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • This action research study explored the change in face-to-face teaching practices as a result of faculty professional development for online teaching. Faculty’s initial teaching model is typically born from that of their own teachers, and they teach as they were taught. However, few have any online experience as a student or a teacher. Learning to teach online may be a catalyst for faculty to reflect on and evaluate their current teaching practices.
  • The results of the study indicated that learning to teach online has the potential to transform faculty’s assumptions and beliefs about teaching, changing their face-to-face teaching practices.

    The impact of training to teach online on classroom practice is very strong.

  • Only 10% of rural Americans go online from home with high-speed connections, about one-third the rate for non-rural Americans.
  • Overall, 48 million American adults had high-speed connections in the home in February 2004. This represents a growth of 60% since March 2003 when 30 million Americans had broadband connections at home. Fully half of this growth has taken place since November 2003, suggesting that it was a broadband holiday season for many Internet users in the winter of 2003/2004.
  • As for the pool of dial-up users who may one day move to broadband, 40% say they would like to get it and 58% say they don’t plan to get it. Of the 40% who would like to get broadband at home, many are not interested in paying more for it: 22% say they would not pay an extra dime for broadband at home and on average this group said they would pay about $9.40 per month extra for broadband. Of the 58% of dial-up users who say that they are not interested in broadband at home, half say they would not pay anything extra for it. On average these users say they would pay only about $4.25 a month more for broadband.

  • We are interested in both risk and resilience - why are some individuals particularly vulnerable in response to negative life events, while others appear to be relatively resilient? And how can we promote enhanced resilience? As a part of the latter work, we study interventions designed to cultivate more positive affective styles. One such intervention that we have extensively studied over the past decade is meditation. In addition to the research on normal affective function, we also study a range of psychopathologies, all of which involve abnormalities in different aspects of emotion processing. Included among the disorders we have recently studied are adult mood and anxiety disorders, and autism, fragile X and Williams syndrome in children. Some of our current research involves: Voluntary and automatic emotion regulation. Resilience in aging. Interactions between emotion and cognitive function, particularly working memory and attention. Temperament in children, in hopes of determining early signs of vulnerability to psychopathology. Social and emotional processing differences in children and adults with autism and fragile X. Mood and anxiety disorders. The impact of pharmaco-therapy and psychotherapy on brain function in patients with mood and anxiety disorders. The effects of meditation on brain function in adept practitioners and novices. Relations between neural mechanisms of emotion and peripheral measures of inflammation and lung function in asthma.

Learning Styles teaching education

shared by Diane Gusa on 29 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • Dunn and Griggs (2000) offer us another definition: “Learning style addresses the biological uniqueness and developmental changes that make one person learn differently from another. Individuals do change in the way they learn…Similarly, developmental aspects relate to how we learn but, more predictable, follow a recognizable pattern.” (p. 136)
  • Perceptual modalities
  • physiological in nature (i.e. auditory, visual kinesthetic, tactile)
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Understanding our perceptual style will help us to seek information arranged in the way that we process most directly.
  • Information processing is
  • personality factors.
  • includes their motivation, values, emotional preferences and decision-making styles.
  • The Dunn and Dunn Learning-Style Model and PEPS
  • 5 main categories and 21 elements in
  • nsist of the following: 1.      Environmental (Sound, Light, Temperature, Design) 2.      Emotional (Motivation, Persistence, Responsibility, Structure) 3.      Sociological (Self, Pair, Peers, Team, Adult, Varied) 4.      Physiological (Perceptual, Intake, Time, Mobility) 5.      Psychological (Global/Analytic, Hemisphericity, Impulsive/Reflective)
  • The Dunn and Dunn Learning-Style Model is a comprehensive and extensive model that incorporates many internal and external factors in the learner’s environment to create an optimal learning experience.
  • Kolb’s Experiential Learning Mode
  • ccording to Kolb, the learning cycle involves four processes that must be present for learning to occur
  • Concrete Experience: Feeling/Sensing; being involved in a new experience Reflective Observation: Watching; developing observations about own experience Abstract Conceptualization: Thinking; creating theories to explain observations
  • Diverger: combines preferences for experiencing and reflecting Assimilator: combines preferences for reflecting and thinking Converger: combines preferences for thinking and doing Accommodator: combines preferences for doing and experiencing
