Learning domains affective cognitive

shared by Diane Gusa on 25 Jun 12 - Cached
  • The affective domain is critical for learning but is often not specifically addressed.  This is the domain that deals with attitudes, motivation, willingness to participate, valuing what is being learned, and ultimately incorporating the values of a discipline into a way of life.  Stages in that domain are not as sequential as the cognitive domain, but have been described as the following: Receiving (willing to listen) Responding (willing to participate) Valuing (willing to be involved) Organizing (willing to be an advocate) Characterization (willing to change one’s behavior, lifestyle, or way of life)
  • Videos and audio clips are also excellent ways to engage the affective domain. These should be short and may include the following: Former students giving tips on how to be successful The instructor informing the students of the value of the course Professionals who are using the knowledge from the course in their lives An overview of the program with key support personnel and facilities visible to the student Streaming audio files throughout the course encouraging students and providing helpful tips Short video clips of the instructor explaining course content

4 Tips for Reaching Training Introverts | Mindflash - 0 views

  • try wording the question a little more provocatively, like: “How does your solution to the scenario differ from the recommended solution provided in the training?”
  • If you’re primarily an extrovert you’re outgoing, gregarious, friendly, and talkative – but you tend to bore easily
  • If you’re primarily an introvert, you’re less outwardly expressive and more likely to process your emotions and thoughts internally. You tend to embrace critical-thinking and you do more listening than talking – but your introspective ways may leave you feeling awkward in social or group settings

  • working with introverts and extroverts is a little easier because you can observe the audience and adjust your delivery to suit their dynamics – using a little less talk here and a little more action there.
  • because introverts are more solitary, the self-guided nature of online training is actually a good fit for them
  • Introverts like to think first and talk later
  • focus on relevancy. Introverts respond to substance
  • keep the number of between lesson “pulse-check” questions to a minimum
  • Introverts disdain superficiality
  • keep scenarios realistic, succinct (get to the point!), and complex to up the engagement.
  • communicating relevancy and incorporating design features that show respect for the introvert’s preference for independent learning.
  • send your trainees a link to the quiz or survey a day or two after they take the module. This gives introverts more time to think about the lessons and how they apply on the job
  • Introverts prefer to write down their ideas

voice pitch using your voice

shared by Nicole Frescura on 21 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • poor classroom management often speak in a very high voice
  • speak from the chest. It gives you power, it’s believable, and it’s not straining. My acting coaches would say, “think low.”
  • high pitched, it can sometimes sound desperate, apologetic, and it seems as if you are asking students for permission when you are giving directions.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Students tend to take on their teacher’s personality
  • If you’re not relaxed in tone then hyper students are more hyper, distracted
  • students are more distracted
  • Barking teachers breed barking students. Don’t confuse meanness with firmness.

  • "Allowing students to decide which grade they wish to strive for, which activities they will engage in, and how they will demonstrate that they have satisfactorily completed their studies permits a teacher to seize upon powerful motivating forces within individual students ... This notion shifts responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student, but at the same time offers an incentive by insuring success under known conditions. Students are challenged without being threatened." (Frymier, 1965)
  • Diane Gusa on 22 Jun 12
     
    "A learning contract is a collaboratively written agreement between a student and a faculty member that delineates what is to be learned, how it will be learned, and how that learning will be evaluated. There are many different ways to design a learning contract, incorporating as many or as few elements as you wish. Despite this flexibility, there is a general format which the majority of learning contracts follow: Identify what content will be learned Specify the methods and strategies that will be used to learn the content Specify resources to be used in order to learn the content Specify the type of evidence that will be used to demonstrate learning Specify how the evidence will be validated, and by whom"

  • Tips for Increasing Instructor Presence in your Distance Learning Course
  • Record an introductory video for the first week of the course introducing yourself, your teaching style, student expectations and goals for the course. Contact the ATC to schedule a time for recording your video. Start off each week with a brief personalized note detailing your learning objectives for the lesson and what assignments or tasks need to be done for the week. If relevant, include a personal anecdote or a brief comment on a current event. An example would be to welcome students back for a new semester or from the midterm break. This can be done easily in myWPI by Adding an item at the top of your folder and typing your note in the text box. Incorporate your own voice by narrating your PowerPoint slides or other on-screen materials with Camtasia Studio. For written materials, try a more natural and conversational tone.
  • Show your presence by checking in to the website as often as possible and leave timely "evidence" that you have been there such as posting new announcements or discussion board postings. For example, if you only post every other week the students may feel that the course site has been "abandoned." Set expectations at the beginning of the course for your students of how often you will be checking in and your response time. Share information with your distance learners that will help them in their careers, just as you would with on-campus students. For example, post links to articles or current job postings in your industry to the Announcements area.

  • Make your course site as organized, clear, and easy to navigate as possible
  • Post your weekly folders in reverse order so that the current weekly folder is at the top of the list and easy to find.

time management online learning

  • Effectively managing your time becomes crucial to succeeding in online learning.
  • the reality is that online courses are just as time consuming as classes that are delivered in a traditional classroom format.
  • Allow yourself a realistic amount of time to complete all the needed assignments. This may mean you have to free up your schedule in order to complete everything.

  •  Pinterest is a social booking marking site (a.k.a. an online bulletin board!) where people can “pin” their favorite things; anything from fashion and home décor to fitness tips and recipes.  Pinterest began as an invite only site, but users are rapidly multiplying, with women currently making up 58% of all traffic.
