  • Principles of Knowledge building Scardamalia (2002) identifies twelve principles of Knowledge building as follows:
  • Real ideas and authentic problems. In the classroom as a Knowledge building community, learners are concerned with understanding, based on their real problems in the real world. Improvable ideas. Students' ideas are regarded as improvable objects. Idea diversity. In the classroom, the diversity of ideas raised by students is necessary. Rise above. Through a sustained improvement of ideas and understanding, students create higher level concepts. Epistemic agency. Students themselves find their way in order to advance. Community knowledge, collective responsibility. Students' contribution to improving their collective knowledge in the classroom is the primary purpose of the Knowledge building classroom. Democratizing knowledge. All individuals are invited to contribute to the knowledge advancement in the classroom. Symmetric knowledge advancement. A goal for Knowledge building communities is to have individuals and organizations actively working to provide a reciprocal advance of their knowledge. Pervasive Knowledge building. Students contribute to collective Knowledge building. Constructive uses of authoritative sources. All members, including the teacher, sustain inquiry as a natural approach to support their understanding. Knowledge building discourse. Students are engaged in discourse to share with each other, and to improve the knowledge advancement in the classroom. Concurrent, embedded, and transformative assessment. Students take a global view of their understanding, then decide how to approach their assessments. They create and engage in assessments in a variety of ways.

    Third-year undergraduate nursing students and first-year master's entry clinical nursing students received an iPod Touch. The device provides students with mobile applications that give them information they'll need in the classroom and at the bedside, as well as an app to help them prepare for the nursing board examination.   The apps include:   Nursing Central Provides everything the nurse needs - nursing assessment, nursing diagnoses and nursing procedures. It includes the Davis Drug Guide, lab and diagnostic tests, a diseases and disorders reference, and Taber's Medical Dictionary. There is also a Medline Journal citation and study-abstract explorer.   Medical Spanish Translates English questions and phrases into Spanish to support Spanish-speaking patients. With Hispanics now constituting nearly half the population in Southern California, having the ability to communicate successfully with patients is critical to delivering the proper care. The app includes more than 3,000 phrases.   NCLEX Review This comprehensive review is what students study before taking the California Nursing Board Examination to become licensed as registered nurses.

  • they can now also read all the class blogs (as they used to) and pass judgment on whether the blogs posted by their fellow students  are satisfactory. Thumbs up, thumbs down.   If not, any student who wishes can revise. If you revise, you get the credit.  End of story.  Or, if you are too busy and want to skip it, no problem.  It just means you'll have fewer ticks on the chart and will probably get the lower grade.  No whining.  It's clearcut and everyone knows the system from day one.  (btw, every study of peer review among students shows that students perform at a higher level, and with more care, when they know they are being evaluated by their peers than when they know only the teacher and the TA will be grading).

    "clickers," palm-size, wireless devices that look like a TV remote. They then use the numbered buttons on the devices to answer multiple-choice quizzes that count for nearly 20 percent of their grade, and that always begin precisely one minute into class. Later, with a click, they can signal to their teacher without raising a hand that they are confused by the day's lesson.

    A Solution Approach: Harden's Taxonomy of Curriculum Integration Building upon various earlier works on curriculum integration with more specific focus on school education, in 2000, Harden [4] proposed a taxonomy of curriculum integration wrt medical education. In my view, it is good model that can be used by all programs of higher education.  Harden has structured this taxonomy as an eleven stage ladder given below:

    Students work through material at their own speed. The program creates a "personalized learning path" that targets exactly what lessons they need to work on and then delivers the appropriate material. Points, badges and other game mechanics theoretically keep students chugging through courses with more motivation. In the meantime, teachers learn which students are struggling with exactly which concepts.
