SOLO Taxonomy

SOLO Taxonomy
click to view a bigger version As learning progresses it becomes more complex. SOLO, which stands for the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome, is a means of classifying learning outcomes in terms of their complexity, enabling us to assess students’ work in terms of its quality not of how many bits of this and of that they have got right. SOLO can be used not only in assessment, but in designing the curriculum in terms of the learning outcomes intended, which is helpful in implementing constructive alignment. SOLO was first described by Kevin Collis and myself in Evaluating the Quality of Learning: The SOLO Taxonomy (New York: Academic Press, 1982, now out of print, but available in Chinese).

Groupe de formation à l'analyse des pratiques professionnelles : GFAPP L'actualité de la formation à l'A.P.P. Les textes officiels de l'Éducation nationale Ainsi en 1994, dans le premier degré, le "Référentiel des compétences professionnelles du Professeur des Écoles stagiaire en fin de formation initiale"(6) stipule, entre autres que "C'est un enjeu fondamental de la formation initiale que de s'attacher à développer chez tous les futurs enseignants les capacités à analyser et à évaluer sa pratique professionnelle. Ceci implique que l'acquisition des compétences professionnelles se fasse selon des modalités qui permettent au stagiaire de prendre le recul nécessaire à l'analyse de son activité. (…) Il doit avoir été mis en situation d'analyser sa pratique individuellement et collectivement." La formation de formateurs à l'A.P.P. en questions - Se pose alors la question de savoir comment se forment (ou non), à cet effet, les formateurs… - Se pose une autre question : Si cette formation personnelle apparaît comme nécessaire, est-elle suffisante ?

Strategies for Effective Lesson Planning Stiliana Milkova Center for Research on Learning and Teaching A lesson plan is the instructor’s road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time. Before you plan your lesson, you will first need to identify the learning objectives for the class meeting. Then, you can design appropriate learning activities and develop strategies to obtain feedback on student learning. Objectives for student learningTeaching/learning activitiesStrategies to check student understanding Specifying concrete objectives for student learning will help you determine the kinds of teaching and learning activities you will use in class, while those activities will define how you will check whether the learning objectives have been accomplished (see Fig. 1). Steps for Preparing a Lesson Plan Below are six steps to guide you when you create your first lesson plans. (1) Outline learning objectives What is the topic of the lesson? (2) Develop the introduction Conclusion Online:

Gestes professionnels, gestes de métier : de l’analyse à la formation Le 5 février dernier, la Chaire UNESCO « Former les enseignants au XXIe siècle » organisait une journée d’étude sur « Les gestes professionnels des enseignants comme objet d’étude et objet de formation ». La colonne vertébrale de cette journée a été deux extraits vidéos, des moments de vie d’une même classe et deux enseignants, l’une de français, l’autre de maths. Dans son introduction à la journée, Luc Ria a posé le décor, sur le fond et sur la forme que pouvaient prendre les réflexions et travaux sur les gestes professionnels[1]. Quelles méthodes pour les étudier ? Existe-t-il une culture partagée sur des gestes professionnels ? Ces gestes professionnels sont-ils révélateurs des préoccupations des enseignants ? On verra qu’au fil de la journée se pose la question d’une définition du geste professionnel. Pour aborder ces différentes problématiques, les chercheurs qui sont intervenus lors de cette journée ont apporté leur analyse des deux situations visionnées. Agir en tension

Constructive Alignment | John Biggs In my last year of teaching, I had a class of 82 schoolteachers who were studying how psychology could be applied to teaching. It suddenly struck me how silly it was to give the usual exam or final assignment, in which my students tell me what I had told them about applying psychology to education. Rather, they should be telling me how they themselves could apply what psychology they knew to improve their teaching decisions – that was the underlying intended outcome of the course. In constructive alignment, we start with the outcomes we intend students to learn, and align teaching and assessment to those outcomes. Constructive alignment is an example of outcomes-based education (OBE). See also: Teaching for Quality Learning at University, Buckingham: Open University Press/McGraw Hill, 2011. with Catherine Tang, extends our third edition with a wider range of examples of constructive alignment on the basis of our work in several countries.

Ice Breakers - Communication Skills Training from MindTools.com Ice breakers can be an effective way of starting a training session or team-building event. As interactive and often fun sessions run before the main proceedings, they help people get to know each other and buy into the purpose of the event. If such a session is well-designed and well-facilitated, it can really help get things off to a great start. Click here to view a transcript of this video. But have you ever been to an event when the ice breaker session went badly? As a facilitator, the secret of a successful icebreaking session is to keep it simple: design the session with specific objectives in mind and make sure that the session is appropriate and comfortable for everyone involved. This article helps you think through the objectives of your session, and then suggests various types of ice breaker you might use. When to Use Icebreakers As the name suggests, these sessions are designed to "break the ice" at an event or meeting. Consider using an ice breaker when: So What's the "Ice"?

5 Common Misconceptions About Bloom's Taxonomy 5 Common Misconceptions About Bloom’s Taxonomy by Grant Wiggins & The TeachThought Staff Admit it–you only read the list of the six levels of the Taxonomy, not the whole book that explains each level and the rationale behind the Taxonomy. Not to worry, you are not alone: this is true for most educators. But that efficiency comes with a price. 1. This is false. The essential behavior in interpretation is that when given a communication the student can identify and comprehend the major ideas which are included in it as well as understand their interrelationships. Not only is this higher-order thinking – summary, main idea, conditional and cautious reasoning, etc. 2. This is not true, a misreading of the word “apply”, as the text makes clear. The whole cognitive domain of the taxonomy is arranged in a hierarchy, that is, each classification within it demands the skills and abilities which are lower in the classification order. Why UbD is what it is. 3. 4. 5. No they weren’t.
