,INTRODUCTION

FUNDAMENTALS OF NODULES,

AN OUTLINED GUIDE TO ACCOMPANY GROUP DISCUSSION SL-SIONS

t

,k

This document.is in the 'form of an .outline guid5to accompany group, .

discussion sessions.

Each page in this guide is an attempt to structure group discussion

r

towards the operationalization of modules..

Page 1 cpntains'Lve elementary characteristics of a module. In other

words,, a module is a self-contained, student-oriented, multi-media learning

system of limited time duration. For each of the five components of this,

definition, each participant is expected to come up withme example followed

immediately by an application. As an example of self-contained; one

participant might suggest that,everything in a module should be placed in

an envelope pr in a box. The ,application of this would be to avoid ,.;

scattering modules in drawers, filing cabinets,, and other inaccessible areas.

A 'module should be something that can be taken in hand and given to a specific

student,'at a specific time, for a specific purpose, and according to a-

regular timetable. If the module exists partly in the teacher's mind and

on partly on paper, thi's idea of providing a self-contained learning activity

package is not readily applicable.

Page 2, goes into a deeper definition of modules by concentrating upon

the purposes which an institution would have in organizing a sequence of

modular learning opportunities. With modules, learners'would be able, to

learn at their own pace, according to individual learning styles based upon

4

Page 5: P0B''DITE, ROTE / ED'S PRICE BP-80.83 .Plies Postage. BC ... · Page 3 provides a quasi-legal definition of modules. This definition' is composed of components A through I. Pages

learner needs; learner abilities, and learner interests. Page 2 is an

attempt to structure the discussion by providing an example and an application

of each component of the definition. For example, the stress on the'learner's

own pace indicates that the typical academic requirement of changing all

intompletcto failuresafter six months is unrealistic with the modular system'

I* modular system, some learners might take six weeks to learn what would

take another learner six months. It a modular system, the learner who would

./need a much longer period of learning time is also permitted to take as long

as necessary to achieve competency. Of course, there is no need to be

ridiculous and to give students bad habits by not pushing for 9 reasonable

accomplishment time. However, the point is Otat a reasonable expectation

2

of finishing time for a rapid reader is not the same as a reasonable expectation

of finishing time for a slow reader or even for a non-reader....,---flodules must

help individualize by looking at different paces, speeds, and styles of

learning.

Page 3 provides a quasi-legal definition of modules. This definition'

is composed of components A through I.

Pages 4 and 5 look at this quagi-legal definition of a module. For each

component of the definition, a component description is given. After each

component description, a matrix X-ray is mate to show where this component

of legal definition,of a module fits in to the ALVIR MATRIX. Thus, component A

of the legal definition of a module refers to the title component.of the

ALVIR MATRIX. -Similarly, component B of the legal definition of a module

refers to the KO, P0, and AO components # the ALVIR MATRIX. Component C

of the legal definition of a module refers to the KR component of the ALVIR

MATRIX. A similar analysis is made of every part of the legal definition of

Page 6: P0B''DITE, ROTE / ED'S PRICE BP-80.83 .Plies Postage. BC ... · Page 3 provides a quasi-legal definition of modules. This definition' is composed of components A through I. Pages

3

amodule. One conclusion emerges: if you are able to analyze your module

on the ALVIR MATRIX, you arcs able to meot.the legal definipiontof a module.

Page 6 presents a list of 13 things-to look for in a'module: Each of

of these things to look for in a module is analyzed according to the ALVIR

MATRIX-model. In the ALVIR MATRIX model, K stands1 for Knowledge, P stands

for Performed-be, Astands for'Atti.tude, 0 stands for Objective's, stands, for

Evaluation, and R stands for Resources: Thus, KO stands for Knowledge

Objectives, PE stands for Performance Evaluation, AR stands for Attitude

Resource, and so forth, There are so many things to remember, in going thtough

.the legal definition of a module.and the list of things you should look for in

describing a module; that the ALVIR MATRIX is proposed as a very simple way

to make sure that every component is present in a modtile.

Page 10 talks about THE MODULES YOU NEED. Each one of the examples given

is inten 6 to be followed with n application suggested by participants. The

example o THE' RIGKT DIGESTION shows that a learner should be required tol

finish a lower level module before going.= to a higher level,-(and more

interesting) module in the exact same subject matter area. This teaches the

0:1learner discipline, organization, and &equencl,ng of learner activities. Such

a systematic process avoids intellectual indigestion.

.

Page 11 compares the module to the familiar thesis or dissertation. The

parallel is drawn along five dimensions. As a iron clad contract, every,

student will get a different iron clad contract. .Sometimes, every monolithic

module is,pretty much the same for each individual. However, within a flexible

module, certain options will be available. Similarly, in the selection of

a learning program, one student may choose modules A, B, and C while another

student chooses modules A, B, and D. This forces *teacher to determine which

641.

Page 7: P0B''DITE, ROTE / ED'S PRICE BP-80.83 .Plies Postage. BC ... · Page 3 provides a quasi-legal definition of modules. This definition' is composed of components A through I. Pages

modules are obligatory for everyone and for which modules are optional.

This forces the teacher to come up with more than one way of achieving s

prespecified obligatory objective. In certain. professions and occupations,

this optional way of thinking is not always as'acceptable as the commonplace

of the iron clad contract. However, before beginning the work, the learner

should know what is expected and what options are open.

Page 12 shows how customs will vary from'campus to campus. In the same

way, whenever modules are transported from one campus to another, 'certain

adjustments,.whether minor or major, must be made.

Page 13 talks about various phases of curriculum development. Fort

example, an individual campus must decide whether it is in the phase ocI

determining, "What is going on?" or "What should be going on?" There is a

vast difference between these two different. situations.

pale 14 stresses the heed for. certain principles of modular development.

For example, one danger of doing it all yourself is similar to the non-mechanic

husband who took the cuckoo clock apart to repair it because it was making a

Linn); noise. After .the alleged repairs, the cuckoo came out and said, "What

time is it?" Similar anecdote's are used to make one or more points.

Page 15 talks about avoidable module dangers. The typical teacher

.

1was used to spending 7 hours or more each day talking to students. Many

,

4,..

friendships developed that lead to professional growth. After working with

0

modules, the same teachers might be spending 8 hours or more writing modulus..

Unfortunately, this gives the students i very impersonal impression of the

teacher who:was too busy writing to take time out to talk and answer questions.

I

Page 16 stresses vat foul results of modular Instruction. For example,

microfiche is a new word to the beginning student. Sometimes this new word

is misheard as micro (that in, little) fish. The teacher must make sure that'

the idea expressed is' done in words that, are understandable by the beginning

student.

Page 17 shows how to put cveryth1ng together in one simple workshop

The point is made that instead of trying to ,jam everything we know into

tiny module, it is better to say what we can in the available time and space.

Whenever time or space is at a premium, it is better to stress priority

activities rather than enumerate each detail.

Page 18 provides a flowchart that discusses what, can happen whenever

teachers get together in a attempt to set up a no-fail module system. One

of the important points to notice is that a number of LEARNING CHECK POIfITS

are placed in the path of the learner. This avoids leaving the learner

completely isolated for a long period of time without any chance for evaluation

feedback. Simply making one module is not enough. A system must be developed

that enables yi)h learner to keep on going without the constant and frequent

intervention of a human,teacher. The human teacher will be available for /,

human consultations However, whatever the mdule can handle owits own is

,'done in a systematic and impartial fashion. It must not be presumed that2

modules can completely replace teachers. However, a system wherein a teacher

can fall back upon the textbook and modules is better to a system wherein a

*teacher has nothing but the textbook to rely upon for structuring subject

matter, skills, band attitudeS.,The effort that goes into developing modules

can result'in a large number of benefits to both teacher and learner.

PRACTICA: APPLICATIONS

Your explanation of a module is interesting,by of what practical benefit is it? .

I like what youisaid about modules, but /simply don't have enough time or enough moneyto look into the system of modules'you proposed.

Are you sure there in much difference betweena module and what we used to call a unit ofinstruction?

I think it's ridiculous to insist that everysubject matter be modularized into the same length'of time!

Without reinforcement, most modular systeto

of learning are doomed to failure!. e;

I'm willing .to learn about much, eS,'but,

. just not sure that I-am convinced .

)

The above com9ents reflect a with; aivetgenc of opinions 'about mocli

4,

The above comments show that modules cap be used r7r..abused.

A module is different from a-unit in the fact that a mo4u1.4 is student- 4

centered and student-paced. In addition, a module is supposed to be self-

contained, that is, theconstdni intf,rvf-wt,i-6ci of a teacher t tzu47117wIt

required.

There are many different types of modular systems. Some modulars are

supposed to be equivalent to 30 hours in length. There, is no research

conclusion proving exclusively that a 30 hour module length Is better than

a shorter or longer pefiod of time. The 30 hour module length seems to have

arrived from the desire of certain administrators to squeeze all modules into

a type of procrustean bed. Procrustes was the ancient Creek tyrant who

arbitarily and often ruthlessly disregarded individual differences and special

or feet che.p?ed off to fit the size of the bek Obviously, the effectiveness

of Procro!.4te5 is too ruthle,,s to he imitated as an educational model in the

applikatAon of module:,

It is hoped that the discussion outlines,provided in this document serve

as a worthwhile, complete, and challenging introduction to modules After all

of this reading, the next step is to ,start developing samples of modules that

can be t,ed in individualizing educat n,
