What Is a Schema? - Psychology - About.com - 1 views

  • A schema is a cognitive framework or concept that helps organize and interpret information. Schemas can be useful because they allow us to take shortcuts in interpreting the vast amount of information that is available in our environment. However, these mental frameworks also cause us to exclude pertinent information to instead focus only on things that confirm our pre-existing beliefs and ideas. Schemas can contribute to stereotypes and make it difficult to retain new information that does not conform to our established ideas about the world.

The Wrath Against Khan: Why Some Educators Are Questioning Khan Academy - 0 views

  • But that's the crux of the problem right there: lecture-demonstrations. Although there's a tech component here that makes this appear innovative, that's really a matter of form, not content, that's new. There's actually very little in the videos that distinguishes Khan from "traditional" teaching. A teacher talks. Students listen. And that's "learning." Repeat over and over again (Pause, rewind, replay in this case). And that's "drilling."
    • djplaner
       
      So is this "replacement", "amplification" or "transformation"? At a base level it's amplification in that the learner can pause, rewind and replay. Not something they can do in typical lecture demonstrations.
  • They point to studies that find while students receive these sorts of videos positively, they are actually learning very little or learning very superficially
  • Physics teacher Frank Noschese, for example, contrasts the video of Khan's explanation of force with a video documenting his students' exploration of force through hands-on experimentation.

  • But as some people have found, this sort of reward system on Khan Academy may encourage completion of material for the sake of badges, rather than for the sake of learning itself.
    • djplaner
       
      The ramifications of changes wrought by ICT can lead to unexpected consequences. Yes, students may be completing all of the Khan Academy activities, but are they learning? How long do they retain that learning?
  • Khan Academy has expanded from just creating videos to include a whole platform through which students can move through the content, including analytics for teachers and parents to track them
    • djplaner
       
      Replacement, amplification or transformation? Teachers should always have been tracking student progress. Khan Academy makes it much, much easier - so amplification. But Khan Academy also makes it easy for the parent's to track - amplification or transformation?
  •  
    Another article looking at the argument between those who see Khan Academy as "the bees-knees" and those who see some problems. There's a point about "lecture-demonstrations" (the model used by Khan) that is particularly relevant to this cause and the idea of the RAT framework.

Trump University's Online Materials Are a Lot Better Than Your University's Online Mate... - 0 views

  • Here’s a list of what you need, from some of Schank’s early 1990s work: Learning goals – target skills or understandings the student will grapple with Mission – objective the student will pursue Cover story – a fictional background story that provides a motivational context for the activity Role – the character a student will play in the simulation Scenario operations – the activities the student will perform to achieve mission, presented in optimal sequence. Resources – the reference materials the student will use to solve the problems presented Feedback – provided by experts (usually through video) but in just-in-time segments, usually telling stories about related experiences

TPACK | ~ Vinah's Blog ~ - 1 views

  •  
    Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge , known for short as TPACK, is a framework used to understand and describe the kinds of knowledge needed by a Teacher for effective pedagogical practice in a technologically enhanced learning environment. The idea of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) was first described by Lee Shulman (1986) and TPACK builds on those core ideas through the inclusion of technology (Wikipedia, 2013).

  • By helping children self-author and produce e-books, early childhood professionals can make the use of computers more interactive and personal.
  • PowerPoint is ideal for helping young children to make basic self-authored e-books.
  • information and communication technology (ICT) is being viewed as another tool for early childhood professionals and children to use in this domain of learning in a way that can complement the more traditional provision of literacy experiences (Hills, 2010; Parett, Quesenberry & Blum, 2010; Marks, 2007; Siraj-Blatchford & Siraj-Blatchford, 2003).
  • Brown and Murray (2006) put it, children need to be able to use ICT so that they are adequately prepared for the future
    • Elke Arndell
       
      This can be included in play-based, co-constructed classrooms by incorporating the internet, digital camera, iPad. Communication can be a simple as a menu of pictures, looking at a picture to create a mask or sea creature, to photograph a collage item and add the photo to a construction book.
  • Western society has invested print-based media with significant authority, but notions about literacy are changing. As society and technology evolve, there is a shift to an acceptance of digital forms of literacy (Jewitt & Kress, 2003). Increasingly, young children are exposed to communication tools and circumstances that are multimodal instead of solely linguistic (Hill, 2007
  • ICT as a tool for enriching the teaching and learning environment for young children.
  • They explain a mode as a ‘regularised organised set of resources for meaning-making, including image, gaze, gesture, movement, music, speech and sound effect’ (p. 2).
  • Text now refers to multiple forms of communication including information on a digital screen, video, film and other media, oral speech, television, and works of art as well as print materials. Electronic texts in particular have become part of children’s everyday lives to the extent that before they commence school, a growing number of children have more experience with electronic texts than they do with books. It is important to recognise that print is now only one of several media which transmit messages in our culture (p. 156).
  • The reading of texts has traditionally focused on decoding–encoding print’s alphabetic codes. Texts children read today, however, might be a mixture of images and print, and the delivery might be interactive with mobile forms rather than just print fixed on a page (Walsh, 2008).
  • These multi-media forms of literacy include traditional forms of print and numbers, but also hypertext, symbols, photographs, animations, movies, DVDs, video, CD-ROMs and website environments (Luke, 1999; Walsh, 2008).
  • Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework. In particular, Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators, has a section on how they can use ICTs to access information, explore ideas and represent their thinking (Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations [DEEWR] for the Council of Australian Governments, 2009).
    • Elke Arndell
       
      Families and parents are still a child first teacher. Teachers acknowledge and respect that each child comes to a centre with varying degrees of prior knowledge.
  • Young children may have access to certain technologies as they were already present in their homes but this did not always mean that they were allowed and/or able to use these. O’Hara’s findings support the arguments made by Marsh (2004), Smith (2005) and others that young children already have an understanding of ICT knowledge and competences when they enter formal schooling as a consequence of differing levels of parental intervention and modelling along with being able to acquire their own new information, abilities and attitudes.
  • that to read and create multimodal texts, children do need to be able to combine traditional literacy practices with the comprehension, design and manipulation of various ‘modes of image, graphics, sound and movement with text’ (p. 108).
  • Walsh (2008) and Healy (2000), we are not suggesting abandoning practices centred on the traditions of print literacy but instead propose early childhood professionals include a range of texts for young children that expand beyond the current print traditions. Self-authored e-books are one way to accomplish this, as they can create a partnership between ICT and reading.

The Overselling of Ed Tech - Alfie Kohn - 2 views

  • y, my response to ed tech is “It depends.” And one key consideration on which it depends is the reason given for supporting it
    • djplaner
       
      'd sugest that "it depends" includes consideration of the "somewhere" in which it is being used. The class, the learners, the teacher(s), what is being learned..
  • But the rationale that I find most disturbing — despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that it’s rarely made explicit — is the idea that technology will increase our efficiency
    • djplaner
       
      And here's #2 of the "big three".
  • Other people, particularly politicians, defend technology on the grounds that it will keep our students “competitive in the global economy.”
    • djplaner
       
      The first of the "big three reason". As here, there are arguments aginst this particular reason, or at least for not having it drive the why (not) question
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • We can’t answer the question “Is tech useful in schools?” until we’ve grappled with a deeper question: “What kinds of learning should be taking place in those schools?”
    • djplaner
       
      The "theory" method from the Why (not) framework can help inform this, but you do need to question your deeper assumptions about this question. Of course, the problem you face is that the "way things are done" impacts this greatly and can limit what you can question
  • Some people seem to be drawn to technology for its own sake — because it’s cool
    • djplaner
       
      Why "goodish practice" can be a problem. Often it's what is "cool" that attracts attention.
  • Despite corporate-style declarations about the benefits of “innovation” and “disruption,” new forms of technology in the classroom mesh quite comfortably with an old-school model that consists of pouring a bunch o’ facts into empty receptacles
    • djplaner
       
      i.e. horsey horseless carriage thinking
  • Far more common, in any case, are examples of technology that take for granted, and ultimately help to perpetuate, traditional teacher-centered instruction that consists mostly of memorizing facts and practicing skills
    • djplaner
       
      This is where we can have some argument. There is some value in doing this type of stuff as long as there is amplification going on AND it's part of a broader move from traditional forms of learning to different types of learning. I'm also troubled by the "one size fits all" approach to this. "Nothing works everywhere".
  • According to an article in Education Week, “a host of national and regional surveys suggest that teachers are far more likely to use tech to make their own jobs easier and to supplement traditional instructional strategies than to put students in control of their own learning.
    • djplaner
       
      This is a danger
    • djplaner
       
      There's nothing wrong with using ICT to make your job easier, but it shouldn't be the only thing you do with it

13 reasons to use educational technology in lessons - ICT and Computing in Ed... - 7 views

  • ICT can provide both the resources and the pedagogical framework for enabling pupils to become effective independent learners. For example, computer programs are available that adjust themselves to the pupils’ level and then set appropriate tasks and give feedback on performance. Used wisely, these can help pupils to move on.
  • Where information and communications technology (ICT) is taught well, it has been shown to enhance pupils’ levels of understanding and attainment in other subjects. That’s because “real” ICT is more about thinking skills than about mastering particular software applications.
  • Pupils usually enjoy using computers and other types of technology, so lessons which make use of it start off with an advantage (which is all too often squandered).
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Just about every aspect of modern life involves educational technology; therefore, to not make use of it in the curriculum is anachronistic.

    • katrina carpenter
       
      this is an important area. Used correctly ICT can support students that require greater levels of scaffolding and do so in a way that allows the student to maintain control of their own learning path.
  • Educational technology puts the pupil in control (if it is well-designed), enabling her to personalise the interface, select and create resources, and even choose what to learn
    • katrina carpenter
       
      This needs to be managed well as few students have the skills to fully manage what they are learning. Perhaps they do however the constraints of the curriculum require they cover set criteria. Choices are available but these still need to be guided and negotiated with the teacher
  • motivating pupils
    • katrina carpenter
       
      motivation also extends to reduced behaviour issues in a class where students are engaged in their learning
