A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH

You will need a piece of paper and a pen for this activity. Do not
write until instructed to do so.
Focus your attention on the middle of the screen.
For the following words, count how many syllables are in each word.

Have you ever been told directions that contain too many details?
Have you ever studied for a test and forgotten the content days later?
THINK BACK…

Repetition – the more you repeat something, the more likely it will be remembered
Practical application Review previously covered material with students at the
beginning of class Revisit challenging concepts with your students throughout
your lecture Create assignments that require students to reexamine
earlier material
FORGETTING CURVE: HOW CAN WE IMPROVE THIS?
![Page 21: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Quality of memory representation – create relevant, meaningful connections with new information
Learning is more effective when it is important to you
Practical application When introducing a new concept, explain a situation where
it is used, or has been relevant in the real world Allow students to research articles and newspapers that
relate to the topic (e.g. NCLB in newspapers) Show a news clip dealing with the topic Administer an interest survey at the beginning of the
semester

What materials could you provide to your students that allow them to see the importance of what they are about to learn?
DISCUSSION
![Page 23: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Keepers is a strategy of that focuses on reinforcing the crucial parts of an idea or topic.
Repetition assists in memory retention. Frequently revisit earlier, important material with your students.
Find examples of how your topic is applicable to real life.
KEEPERS (WHAT TO TAKE AWAY FROM THIS)
![Page 24: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
American psychologist David Ausubel Anchoring ideas are content specific ideas already
embedded in one’s cognitive structure (e.g. what a student understands about cell division)
Need to link new material with students prior knowledge
Learning is much more effective when you weave the knowledge you are learning into something you already know
Learning is much more difficult when you have to create an entirely new anchoring idea
ANCHORING IDEAS
![Page 25: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Practical application Administer a pre-assessment the first week of class or at
the beginning of each lesson (Clickers or Poll Everywhere) Make a list of what everyone knows
Create a concept map with students while they are learning the new material
Create an outline for students to follow during the lecture
Review information from a previous lesson and explain how it relates to the lesson you are about to teach
ANCHORING IDEAS
![Page 26: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Think about ways you could introduce a topic to your students that connects to their prior knowledge.
DISCUSSION

Learning is much more effective when one can build upon or modify their prior knowledge (anchoring ideas)
Before you introduce your topic, find a way to tap into something the students already know and teach from there

Repetition - frequently revisit earlier, important material with your students.
Quality of memory representation - create relevant, meaningful connections with new information (learning is more effective when it is important to you.)

CHUNKING
Breaking down large pieces of information into smaller sections
Much easier for the brain to digest the information
Divide your content into related sections
For online modules, break down larger modules into sections (e.g. Immunizations Part I and Immunizations Part II)
For face-to-face courses, take small breaks after about 45 minutes of lecture

KEEPERS
Students will have a difficult time retaining information if they are presented with too much material.
Chunk your content into manageable sections.
![Page 31: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Formative vs. summative assessment Ability to monitor student progressStudents actively engaged in acquiring knowledge,
instead of passively receiving itReflection provides students with an opportunity to
expand on what they have just learned Allows students to focus on what they already
understand, and what they need to study
ASSESSMENT AND REFLECTION
![Page 32: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Practical application Include questions on your topic throughout your
presentation/lecture (can use Clickers or Poll Everywhere) Provide students with opportunities to reflect on what they
have learned (e.g. learning logs). Ask students questions such as:
In what ways do you think you need to improve? What barriers did you encounter during this module? What do you think you need to work on? What part of the lesson are you most comfortable with? How
would you explain this to someone who knows nothing about the topic?
Include Articulate elements in your presentations
ASSESSMENT AND REFLECTION
![Page 33: Scaffolding Instruction A systematic approach](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815f56550346895dce3646/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Can you think of some content-specific assessment or reflection questions you can ask your students during lectures?

Open your course presentation and try to incorporate some of the learning strategies we just discussed.
Feel free to share ideas with others!

What did you like about this workshop? Is there anything you will now try differently in your
courses? Is there anything you would like to learn about that
we did not cover today?
