'Teaching as a Design Science' by Diana Laurillard - 20 views

    Teaching is changing. It is no longer simply about passing on knowledge to the next generation. Teachers in the 21st century, in all educational sectors, have to cope with an ever-changing cultural and technological environment. Teaching is now a design science. Like other design professionals - architects, engineers, town planners, programmers - teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. But teaching is not treated as a design profession. Every day, teachers design and test new ways of teaching, using learning technology to help their learners. But their discoveries remain local. By representing and communicating their best ideas as structured pedagogical patterns, teachers could develop this vital professional knowledge collectively. Teacher professional development has not embedded in the teacher's everyday role the idea that they could discover something worth communicating to other teachers, or build on each others' ideas. Could the culture change? From this unique perspective on the nature of teaching, Diana Laurillard argues that a 21st century education system needs teachers who work collaboratively to design effective and innovative teaching.

    I never thought of it this way. It's a great concept. We need to understand that design is not about beauty, but about vision, about following a process and always trying to make a dent. And of course, this will only be achieved by the use of crowd wisdom and the sharing process.
  • bwhitingjr on 27 May 14
     
    Teaching by design is an interesting way to contemplate the way we teach. I suppose, I am always designing bridges to each and everyone of my students. One student understands the concept given in a traditional manner while the other needs to walk up the hill and see it from afar. Either way I have to figure out how to get my student to understand.
  • kadiyan on 28 May 14
     
    True......even i did not think of it this way!!yes even i now think teaching is now a design science. With technology changing every day, we as teachers will have to think of new ways to use the new tools and as individual isolated teachers we wont be able to keep pace and do justice so we all will have to share and work collaboratively to design innovative ways to teach effectively.
  • hackingmom on 28 May 14
     
    Dear Diana, I can't agree more on your proposals. In fact the peer2peer learning that we propose and expect from children in class has to become a MUST between teachers. I am not a teacher but I have experienced hoy there is Little sharing between teachers of same "level" of education in same school, almost NO dialog between those of different levels, and scarcely any between other teachers. How to rebuild this communication is crutial, and not only between heads and teachers but also upon other school staff, which sometimes get more information about each child environment and learning attitude than teachers or tutors themselves because they do see students in "non directed" situations react to real life problems.
  • merilau on 28 May 14
     
    You are so right. One thing I like about the school I work with is the enthusiasm some teachers have for finding new tools. Some of us work collaboratively and it makes a real difference. Unfortunately this is not the case with the whole school, but I believe there will come a time when this will be the only way to work. Thanks for sharing!
  • roshanmohammad on 28 May 14
     
    Thank you for Diana for your thought inspiring article. I think that the teachers who understand and master this 'design science' are really going to use ICT to leverage their teaching and their students learning. Institutes will probably need mature 'innovators' to drive the concept of 'design scientists' forward. In addition i believe we will also need a 'design artist' to create a ICT learning culture within the organization too.
  • rosefraser on 29 May 14
     
    Thank you for sharing as a new person to the Teaching Profession I found collaborating efforts have worked really well for me and I am always willing to learn from others and share my ideas with them to get their input and it have proven fruitful. Working as a team and sharing with others to get a different point of view is always important.
  • katrin_n on 29 May 14
     
    In my opinion the most important thing is -given teaching will be treated as a collective design science- learning about how to apply new ways of teaching on our individual children. The newest would probably not always be the best and what worked in other schools elsewhere might not work in your own school. So let´s also stress how to individualize collective knowledge again and break it down to everyday usable teaching aid that we can evaluate.

    I totally agree with your opinion about education, specially when you talk about collaborative work among teachers to help our students build knowledge .THank you

    I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.

    Actually there is also a new curriculum for Scratch with worksheets: http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/download.html It has also been translated into several languages. This is a very helpful tool if you want to start introducing programming to a class. I have been using it now twice, and I am happy with the outcome. In particular the worksheets are so helpful and give you more time to support the individual child.

  • the discovery technique has three primary benefits
  • First
  • since students are solving a grammar mystery, they tend to pay more attention and stay more engaged
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • They are discovering it for themselves
  • Secondly, students who learn with the discovery technique tend to remember the rules of grammar better because they have played a part in discovering them
  • The final benefit might be the greatest of all. Because they have learned grammar by figuring out the rules from context, students familiar with this technique have an easier time figuring out unfamiliar grammar structures they encounter in the future
  • Instead, students are given content in which the target structure is used. Students then discover the grammatical rule or figure out the pattern for themselves. The teacher’s role is to guide students to their own discovery, not to give students the information on the grammar rule.

This has been described as a protoparadigm, which is still in the 'beta' stage of construction." -Cristóbal Cobo & John Moravec

    Becta. (2008). Harnessing Technology Review 2008: The role of technology and its impact on education. Coventry, UK: Becta. Reviews the role of technology in the UK and summarises the approach of primary and secondary schools and colleges. In all three sectors, the review reflects the same kinds of opportunities, attitudes and barriers that we found represented in our UNESCO survey of primary schools around the world. This data shows the range of different stages of maturity of ICT use between primary schools within one country with a unified system of state education. The range will be even broader when private education is included. Some countries will not yet have had the amount of government investment in ICT infrastructure for schools that the UK had by 2008, others will by now be well ahead of this. However, the issues are universal.

    There are a lot of different ways of using word clouds as far as EFL is concerned. You name it: 1) predict the content of a text e.g. topics, style, purpose, etc. 2) writing or speaking prompts 3) reading comprehension questions just, then comparing answers after reading the actual text 4) summarise a presentation 5) identify or create the key words to a text 6) expanding vocabulary (definitions, synonyms, antonyms, or brainstorm words associated with a new one, match parts of collocations) 7) explore a topic (students add own ideas to a question stimulus & build a cloud) 8) student ice-breaker 9) highlight examples of misspelled or overused words in student writing by inputting their own work 10) 'grammar game' e.g. students classify words from a cloud into different parts of speech or different tenses 11) 'sentence structure' game e.g. input a complex sentence or short series of sentences into a word cloud, and have students reconstruct them in the correct word order 12) 'memory game' e.g. show a word cloud, take it off the screen, students write as many words as they can recall 13) identify parts of speech (students highlight or underline in different colours) 14) Students pre-assessing their own knowledge and understanding - "What does something mean to me?" as in a KWL chart
