A Primer In Heutagogy And Self-Directed Learning

The Difference Between Pedagogy, Andragogy, And Heutagogy by Terry Heick Jackie Gerstein’s passionate thinking about learning is some of my favorite to read. She is rarely pulled down by trend or fad, but is unquestionably progressive and forward-thinking in her approaches to learning and thinking about learning. Her and I also both share a passion: self-directed learning. I’m embarrassingly interested in any kind of learning at all–formal or informal, self-directed or teacher-centered, authentic or academic. Gerstein’s presentation, “Education 3.0 and the Pedagogy of Mobile Learning” uses the concept of mobile learning as a spearhead into a broader discussion of how people learn–different approaches, different domains, and different technologies.

Accueil Teacher Performance Evaluation: Definitions, Research, Models, and More In general, teacher evaluation refers to the formal process a school uses to review and rate teachers’ performance and effectiveness in the classroom. Ideally, the findings from these evaluations are used to provide feedback to teachers and guide their professional development. While governed by state laws, teacher-evaluation systems are generally designed and operated at the district level, and they vary widely in their details and requirements. But many evaluation systems have undergone significant changes in recent years. That surprise reversal can be attributed to at least four factors: a wave of new research on teacher quality, philanthropic interest in boosting teacher effectiveness, efforts by advocacy groups and policymakers to revamp state laws on evaluation, and political pressure to dismiss poorly performing teachers. All that momentum aside, the results of recent changes to teacher-evaluation systems are, as yet, difficult to quantify. Terms to Know Related Blog “Tenn.

Marc My Words: In Learning and Performance Ecosystems, the Whole is Greater Than the Sum of the Parts (Part One) by Marc Rosenberg “A learning and performance ecosystem introduces new capabilities that integrate learning and performance solutions into the work environment, where the vast preponderance of learning actually takes place. While training is still important, the overall strategy minimizes the need for workers to leave work in order to learn, reducing work disruption, and placing more learning opportunities directly into the workflow.” Part One: What Is a Learning and Performance Ecosystem? “You cannot create value for any one investment—you have to bundle them.” Here’s a blinding flash of the obvious… The increasing complexity of the world in which we live and work, combined with the explosion in the amount of knowledge we need to be successful, requires us to be more sophisticated in how we learn. Training is not enough Training alone will not get people to mastery. Figure 1: Training is not enough to get people to mastery The growing diversity—and complexity—of learning and performance solutions
