Intro Week Induction and Inquiry-based Learning: Varying Approachescilass.slideshare
The University of Sheffield has considered strategically the induction
process undertaken by departments during Intro Week in order to
facilitate the transition to university for new students. The approaches from three
departments Human Communication Sciences, Automatic Control and Systems
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering will be showcased in the symposium. Two
main aims were:
(i) welcome students into the department and discipline,
(ii) begin the education of students into a new way of learning,
specifically independent learning. Topics included:
How was intro week organised to meet the aims?
Which aspects of good practise might be usefully summarised for other
departments?
The presentation was given on the workshop for the orientation BED111A. B.Ed. syllabus of Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune. It is a personal document, for official information please see SPPU B.Ed. syllabus.
Discover the unique features of Alpha Math Grades 1-5
Alpha Math consists of two volumes for each grade that have distinctive and rich content. The content is built on the Common Core State Standards. The instructions and practices are designed in accordance with the learning domains of Bloom’s taxonomy to help build a deep, strong and innovative foundation in mathematics.
The program includes interactive, visual, and differentiated learning styles that address the needs of all learners.
Assessing the prior knowledge before starting new topics.
Hands-on activity as a lesson starter.
Clear and organized steps to deliver mathematical concepts.
Rich visuals and strategies to provide multiple approaches to doing mathematics.
Guided differentiated practices.
Independent differentiated practices.
Problem-solving that improves reading & writing in mathematics as well as developing critical thinking skills.
Organised vocabulary in each lesson that builds on itself.
The presentation is prepared for pre service teacher trainees of Geography subject. it is a brief description of various learning resources or teaching aids which are used in learning and teaching of Geography subjet.
AECT 2017 - Digital Didactical Designs as a Framework for iPad/Tablet classr...Isa Jahnke
We present results from 64 Nordic 1:1 iPad-classrooms. The data analysis revealed three clusters: Cluster A (n=23) demonstrated full integration and alignment toward deeper learning that we termed Learning by Crossaction; cluster B (n=21) showed potential for deeper learning but only a semi-alignment of design elements; and cluster C (n=20) revealed irritations and conflicts. The results highlight the different types of designs and implications for meaningful integration of media tablets for learning.
