conduct inspections on actual vessels and performance critiqued
-
drleftwich on 21 Jun 07This sounds like it might be more related to a constructivist framework with the authentic practice. What's the difference here? What does everyone else think?

cbruncli on 24 Jun 07I agree, the group does a mock inspection, once complete they would all discuss what went right and wrong with an instuctor there for guidence. This is a constructivist concept (social negotiation). I will use this type of example over in the constructivist page. However, I also think it fits here as it is practice w/ feedback. However, in congntivism the member would practice the skill and the instructor would provide the feedback (which sometimes happens).

Discovery learning refers to the process of obtaining knowledge through one’s own efforts. In the Surgical Technology program we use this form of learning to allow students to manipulate materials in computer simulation that allows them to discover important concepts related to operating room technique. The idea of discovery learning is that students are more likely to remember concepts or principles that they discover on their own. After presentation of fundamental information students work with an interactive CD-ROM that simulates a real life experience in the operating room allowing them to perform many skills necessary for a successful operation. Students are given the opportunity through case study and computer-based simulation to prepare the OR and the patient. They can use drag and drop to experiment with the selection of which instruments should be given to the surgeon at the appropriate time. Students can request “coaching” in the form of tips, hints or brief multimedia explanations called “Pearls of Wisdom.” Selection of inappropriate materials or techniques may lead to simulated patient complications. Students must then discover which action lead to the complication and then learn to correct that action. Use of the CD-ROM format also allows for presentation of the information in multiple formats (audio and visual) which enhances learning.

do all the students come together and discuss what went right or wrong or is the student only interacting with the computer?
-
Chris = 1 point. Chris makes an excellent point here, showing the difference between cognitivism and constructivism. Note that when the students come together, they can construct their own understanding. The teacher is the facilitator in this case. However, what happens if the student is just interacting with the computer? Is this constructivist? Is the student able to construct their own knowledge this way? What about when we go on the Internet to look up information? Is that a constructivist learning experience?

This website has some interesting information (the clif notes version) of what Chris was talking about..... http://www.foshay.org/PDFs/COGNITIVEAPPROACH.pdf
