What pedagogical strategies will help us reach our educational goals?

Discussion: Important Pedagogical Concepts Encourage deep learning Challenge mental models Learn to be a facilitator as well as an

teacher Design to encourage personal motivation Understand and let students use the

opportunities that technology brings Understand the importance of feedback Encourage creativity Provide active learning opportunities

Deep Learning and Mental Models Learning for the sake of

understanding meaning Design assignments and

assessments that reward those willing to think beyond the obvious answers rather than the surface or strategic learner

which the reward for doing something is external to the activity, not the activity itself.Deci identified two intrinsic (personal) motivations:1. The desire to be autonomous (to determine what we do and how we do it).2. The desire to be competent (to be good at what we do).

Why does Wikipedia exist?

Learn to be a facilitator as well as a teacher Sage on the Stage vs Guide on the Side Encouraging peer to peer interactions Encouraging active, deep learning rather

than rote memorization and surface/strategic learning.

Understand the importance of feedback Feedback: Information about how we did

in light of some stated goal. Guidance: Instructions for future

direction Evaluation: Summary of whether work

has been deemed successful.

Encourage Creativity The decline of creativity in America Example of encouraging creativity in Akron,

Understand and let students use the opportunities that technology brings

“Human motivations change little over the years, but opportunity can change a little or a lot, depending on the social environment. In a world where opportunity changes little, behavior will change little, but when opportunity changes a lot, behavior will as well, so long as the opportunities appeal to real human motivations.”

Clay Shirky “Cognitive Surplus”

Active Learning Students are given an opportunity to

take a more interactive relationship with subject matter

Students are asked to generate and not just receive knowledge

Knowledge is Constructed, not received
