Learning in phases

     Acquisition
     	
 - reading, listening, lectures etc.

     Assimilation
     	
 - making meaning, connections, practice,
        discussion, integrating ….

There are 2 problems:

     • We spend much class
       contact time in
       activities towards the
       bottom
     • We provide most
       access to expert help
       and guidance during
       class hours

Consequences:

     • Lack of engagement

     • Strategic / shallow
       learning, geared totally
       towards passing exam

     • Helplessness, general

‘Inverting the classroom’…

     Is about making more time for more
       cognitively demanding tasks in class hours

     And / or

     About finding new ways to engage
      participants outside class hours.

‘Inverting the classroom’…

     Is a long term strategic change process

     - We’re at about 5 on a scale of 1-10.
     - And coverage is patchy

Conceptual understanding

     Despite high grades, often large deficits in
      conceptual understanding in e.g.

     Newtonian Mechanics
     Electricity and magnetism
     Scientific thinking

Labs: the implicit curriculum

                • In practical work, we expect students
                  to acquire data analysis skills in
                  parallel to practical abilities.
                • Frequently, these generic skills are not
                  explicitly taught and not effectively
                  assessed.
