Peer Review in Medical School
This document discusses peer review processes for students and community faculty. It begins by outlining objectives to examine features of useful peer review, and how it can be used with students and faculty. Key considerations for planning peer review are discussed, such as the types of information desired, impediments, and whether the goal is formative or summative. Criteria for peer review should be behavior-focused, observable, and based on clear expectations. Specific, descriptive feedback is important. The document provides examples of effective peer review processes when used with students or community faculty, emphasizing collaboration in creating the review process. Potential issues like bullying or sham peer reviews are also addressed.
The Compton ASE TeachMeet - SOLO Taxonomy
SOLO is a model of learning that helps develop a common understanding of the learning process through five levels of thinking - prestructural, unistructural, multistructural, relational, and extended abstract. The levels represent increasing complexity in a learner's ideas and ability to link them together and think in new ways. Teachers can use SOLO to plan learning outcomes, structure lessons that progress through topics, provide feedback, and put pupils in control of their learning.
Rethinking Homework
The document discusses rethinking the purpose and design of homework in light of modern technology. It notes that while research shows homework can be beneficial for older students, the quality of tasks and ability to individualize are more important than quantity. The document advocates using technology to create homework that enhances learning rather than causes frustration, provides formative feedback, and meets individual student needs and learning styles.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment involves gathering evidence of a student's learning to provide feedback and adjust teaching. It answers three key questions: where is the student going, where is the student now, and what needs to be done to get the student to the goal. Formative assessment takes place through various informal methods like observation, classwork, quizzes, journals, and graphic organizers. Providing timely, descriptive feedback is important to guide students and encourage accountability for their own learning.
Preparation for peer observation of teaching
This document outlines the process and benefits of peer observation partnerships between teachers. It discusses planning meetings between partners, observing each other's teaching, providing individual reflection and feedback, and changing roles. Partnerships can involve two teachers, groups, or coordinators. The goal is to provide constructive feedback, share ideas, develop teaching skills, and create an open approach to improvement. The observation process and post-observation discussions are structured. Critical reflection on teaching philosophy and practice helps drive ongoing professional development. Effective partnerships are seen through positive outcomes for personal and teaching skills and the ability to critically engage with feedback.

Metacognition refers to thinking about one's own thinking processes. It involves monitoring and controlling one's thoughts. There are several subcategories of metacognition including metamemory and metacomprehension, which involve appraising one's own prior knowledge and comprehension. Developing metacognition in students is important as research shows academic gains with metacognitive instruction. Teachers can model metacognition for students by consciously demonstrating their own thinking processes and using strategies, checklists, and whiteboards to make their cognitive work visible.

Peer observation of teaching
Peer observation of teaching involves teachers observing each other teach and providing feedback to support professional development. It can be used for developing new teachers or continuous learning, but also for evaluation which some warn should be non-judgmental and developmental. Peer observation allows teachers to gain exposure to different styles, reflect on their teaching, and try new ideas. It needs to be expanded to cover online and blended teaching environments. The role of the observer is critical for reflection, by providing feedback as a "critical helper" to build understanding and question practices.

#LFE15 Learning is invisible
This document summarizes David Didau's presentation on invisible learning at the London Festival of Education. It discusses two definitions of learning, the difference between learning and performance, and challenges common assumptions about what constitutes effective teaching and learning. Specifically, it notes that performance does not necessarily indicate learning, that lesson observations are poor proxies for learning, and that introducing "desirable difficulties" like spacing, interleaving and testing can actually improve long-term learning compared to conventional approaches. The presentation argues teachers should separate learning from performance and question their own assumptions in order to better support invisible learning processes.
Research Literacy: Literacy Research
The document discusses moving away from an Accelerated Reader program for literacy research due to mixed evidence of its effectiveness, too many variables in implementation, and lack of progress for some students given the resources. It will instead adopt a Thinking Reading program which teaches reading skills directly rather than just encouraging reading, can accurately track student progress and evaluate the program, and has shown promising evidence even if limited as an individualized approach.

Three teachers create a lesson model focused on modeling and challenge, observing its implementation and discussing positives and issues to adapt the model until agreed upon. They then share the finalized model with the department. Lesson study allows for departmental development around a focus, familiarity with content, student-centered tasks, and consistency within departments, with benefits to students across involved teachers. Potential barriers include time, scheduling, delivery to different groups, and ensuring familiarity with all teaching groups.

Teacher's beliefs n intentions concerning teaching in higher education
The document discusses teachers' beliefs and intentions regarding teaching in higher education. A questionnaire was distributed to teachers at four UK institutions measuring nine aspects of their beliefs and intentions. There were two main factors identified - an orientation toward learning facilitation and an orientation toward knowledge transmission. However, teachers' intentions were more oriented toward knowledge transmission than their actual beliefs. Differences in teachers' intentions seemed to result from different conceptions of teaching across disciplines and gender, as well as contextual factors like institution and experience. Teaching intentions represent a compromise between teachers' conceptions and their academic/social contexts.

Theories of Second Language Acquisition.
This document discusses several theories of second language acquisition (SLA):
- Behaviorism theory focuses on repetition and external stimuli but ignores mental processes.
- Universal grammar and linguistic theory posit an innate language acquisition device.
- Monitor theory emphasizes the importance of comprehensible input and affective factors like motivation.
- Skill acquisition theory views SLA as developing automaticity through practice like other skills.
- Sociocultural theory examines SLA through social interaction and scaffolding.
- Complexity theory sees emergent patterns from nonlinear interactions between components.
- Effective learning theory stresses the role of exposure, interaction, vocabulary, motivation, and skill development.

The gap model of service quality identifies five potential gaps that can lead to unsatisfactory customer experiences. The first gap is between customer expectations and management perceptions. The second gap is between management perceptions and service quality specifications. The third gap is between service quality specifications and service delivery. The fourth gap is between service delivery and what is communicated to customers. Addressing these gaps requires effective communication across departments, accurate translation of customer expectations into standards, and ensuring adequate resources support service delivery. Cultural differences must also be considered when applying this model internationally.

Cognition is defined as 'the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. ' At Cambridge Cognition we look at it as the mental processes relating to the input and storage of information and how that information is then used to guide your behavior
Team5 cognitive-learning-theory
Cognitive theory focuses on how people think and process information. It replaced behaviorism and looks at how the mind works through thinking, knowledge, memory, and problem solving. Key people who developed aspects of cognitive theory include Paivio, Gagne, Gardner, and Bloom. Classroom implications for teachers include using hands-on activities, scaffolding lessons, addressing multiple learning styles, and challenging students' thinking. Technology can also support cognitive theory through educational games, information mapping, research tools, and interactive software.
Cognitivism
Cognitivism rejects behaviorism and instead focuses on internal mental processes like thinking, memory, and problem solving. It views learning as involving the formation of mental representations and associations rather than just stimulus-response behaviors. Cognitivism sees humans as actively generating knowledge through cognitive processes like recognizing, analyzing, and evaluating information, rather than just passively responding to environmental conditions. Cognitive theories emphasize understanding over rote memorization and see the teacher's role as facilitating meaningful learning by helping students relate new concepts to their prior knowledge.
Student centered mathematics
This document discusses student-centered instruction. It defines student-centered instruction as focusing on how students learn, what they experience, and how they engage with learning. Students actively construct their own knowledge through discovery, inquiry, and problem solving. The teacher acts as a facilitator rather than solely delivering information. Examples of student-centered instruction include cooperative problem solving, students justifying their thinking, and performance-based problems that require constructing ideas. The goal is for students to deeply understand concepts by making connections between new and existing ideas, rather than just knowing answers.
Rusa Mars Ala2009 Rosenblatt
This document discusses creating online tutorials using screencasts for an online class. It explores how librarians typically teach using techniques like scaffolding, modeling, and connecting new concepts to prior knowledge. It also examines learning theories like behaviorism which focuses on stimulus-response learning and cognitivism/constructivism where learners actively construct their own understanding. The document questions how to determine learning goals for tutorials, how to assess if users attain the goals, and how to understand why certain teaching approaches in screencasts are effective.
Information Processing and Cognitive Theories of Learning
Cognitive information processing theory views learning through the lens of how information is processed in the human mind. It involves three main stages: [1] sensory memory, [2] short term memory, and [3] long term memory. Effective encoding strategies include note taking, summarizing, outlining, and constructing mental images. Retrieval depends on factors like organization of knowledge and acquisition of expertise over time through practice and motivation. Expert teachers utilize metacognition and self-regulatory strategies to help students monitor and improve their own learning.
Theories of learning.ppt
This document provides an overview of various theories of learning, including behavioral, cognitive, social, and brain-based theories. It defines learning and discusses major theorists and concepts within each approach. Behaviorism focuses on observable behaviors and conditioning, while cognitivism examines mental processes. Social learning theory emphasizes observational learning. Constructivism views learning as an active, social process of constructing knowledge. Multiple intelligences theory proposes eight types of intelligence. Brain-based learning incorporates findings from neuroscience.

The ENGLISH TEACHER - the NEUROPLASTICIAN in the classroom
Teaching aims to help language students master all four skills. Despite the effort and the multitude of techniques, some students seem to be still struggling with learning fast and using the language accurately. Can the brain-based approach to teaching languages be used to drive better academic results and give us hope to make our students smarter? Studies show that training the brain how to process information in a more efficient manner will boost results. Let’s move from brain walking to brain jogging by adding a new dimension: “knowing about knowing”.

Intentional instruction involves systematic, focused teaching where the teacher determines what is most important for students to learn. It transfers responsibility from the teacher to the student through establishing clear purposes, modeling expert thinking, guiding students' thinking with questions and prompts, providing meaningful group tasks, and assigning independent work for students to apply what they have learned. The roots of intentional instruction come from theories of gradual release of responsibility, direct explanation, and literacy as a social practice.
Costructivist group2
This document discusses key concepts in constructivist learning theory including the work of Piaget, Bruner, Vygotsky, and Dewey. It explains that constructivism posits that learning is an active process where learners construct knowledge based on their experiences. The role of the teacher is as a facilitator who provides resources to support students' meaning making. Technology can effectively support constructivist pedagogy by providing interactive learning experiences.
Mini project 2-- teaching and learning theories spring 2015
Directions:
Imagine you are the principal in a school with a large influx of new teachers who have been prepared to use constructivist teaching strategies and to distrust direct instruction. Your older teachers, on the other hand, are the opposite – they distrust the new constructivist approaches and believe strongly in “traditional teaching.”
Prepare a 20 minute (or longer) discussion/presentation about different theories of teaching and learning, including direct instruction. Include a PowerPoint presentation with recorded audio on the strengths and weaknesses of each of the learning perspectives discussed in this chapter –behavioral, cognitive, and constructivist. Be sure to discuss the situations for which the behavioral approach is best. Give at least one example for each approach. Make sure that during your presentation, you:
Consider the pros and cons of direct instruction
Contrast direct instruction with a constructivist approach to teaching
Examine under what situations each approach is appropriate
Propose and defend a balanced approach to teaching.
This is a wonderful information and cite the author if you are using it in your presentation. Thank you for checking it out.

learn English
This document discusses different approaches to learning including behaviorism, constructivism, and social constructivism. It compares problem-based learning and inquiry-based learning, both of which are constructivist approaches. Problem-based learning uses ill-structured problems or case studies as the starting point for students to identify what they need to learn to solve the problem. It involves students working collaboratively to investigate problems, identify solutions, and present their findings. Inquiry-based learning follows a similar process of asking questions, investigating, discussing, creating, and reflecting, allowing students to take the lead in their learning.
Teaching methods
This document discusses modern teaching methodologies used in early childhood classrooms. It explores a variety of active learning techniques like discussions, group work, storytelling and role playing that encourage student participation and holistic development. Traditional lecturing is compared to these modern methods, which aim to make lessons more engaging and memorable by directly involving students in the learning process. The impact of these student-centered approaches on children's physical, social-emotional and cognitive growth is also addressed.

Reading PowerPoint Isn't Teaching
This document provides teaching strategies and techniques for making physiology lessons more active and student-centered. It recommends using anonymous opinion polls, jigsaw puzzles, and peer instruction quizzes to get students engaged. The document also suggests dividing students into groups and having them teach each other as a way to physically involve them. Additional tips include using reflective questions to get students thinking about what they've learned and quizzing them on key takeaways. Resources like interactive presentation tools are also referenced. The overall message is that active learning approaches work better than passive lectures according to evidence.
Working with difficult learning situations
This document provides guidance for working with difficult learning situations. It outlines objectives of reflecting on feelings, diagnosing student needs, and managing challenges. Specific techniques are presented for different issues like lack of knowledge, attention issues, clashes. The CALMER technique is described for managing clashes, which involves catalyzing change, altering thoughts, listening, making agreements, providing education and follow-up, and reaching out for support. The document aims to help teachers effectively handle difficult students and learning situations.
Puzzling Over Self Assessment
This document summarizes a presentation on using deliberate practice theory to develop self-assessment skills. It discusses how deliberate practice involves focusing practice on tasks at one's maximum level of ability, self-monitoring to identify weaknesses, and repeating tasks to improve performance. Research found that high-achieving medical students used more deliberate practice techniques than low-achieving students. Attendees were asked to brainstorm ways to develop lifelong habits of self-monitoring and one idea would be selected to try and report back on. The goal is to help residents develop effective self-assessment through deliberate practice.

Why all the Objective Hype?
This document provides information and guidance about writing learning objectives for curriculum development. It begins with introductions and an outline of prerequisite knowledge levels. The objectives of the session are then stated as learning to describe the role of objectives and write objectives for a course. Key points covered include using active verbs, aligning objectives with assessments and content, and making objectives SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely). Examples are provided to illustrate good and poor objective writing. Guidelines are given for distinguishing objectives from learning steps. Participants are then instructed to write three objectives using the SMART criteria and exchange them for critique.
Puzzling Over Assessment
The document discusses assessment in a Structured Practice Experiences Program pharmacy course. It states that instructors will evaluate students based on their competency in required components. Students will be assessed using methods like direct observation, rubrics, and portfolios. The assessment is meant to be both formative, to guide student learning, and summative, to determine if competencies are met. Instructors are encouraged to meet with students mid-term to assess their progress and ensure communication. A final evaluation will consider demonstration of learning over the rotation to determine if students have completed requirements.
Giving Feedback
This document provides guidance on giving effective feedback. It discusses viewing learning as deliberate practice rather than students being empty vessels. The feedback process should identify what stage of the learning cycle a student is in, which includes being unconsciously incompetent, consciously incompetent, consciously competent, and unconsciously competent. The document outlines a feedback process of asking students what they want feedback on, what went well, what they could improve, and developing a plan. It also lists requirements for feedback including being timely, helpful, appropriate, never labeling, collaborative, specific, and culturally sensitive. Suggested plans for each learning stage are also provided.

Taming the Paper Tiger
This document summarizes theories about 21st century learners and explores mobile resources for faculty development. It examines the digital native theory which describes those born in the 90s as growing up with technology. It also discusses how habitual technology use develops digital skills regardless of age. While students may think they can multitask, research shows they cannot. The document promotes the use of mobile technology for faculty development through a wiki, newsletter, and upcoming iBook to support medical education.
Teaching generation z
The document discusses how the current generation of students have had access to technology and the internet their whole lives. They may think they can multitask but can't. They have access to information overload and may not know how to evaluate information sources. Educational technology is growing rapidly. When using technology, teachers should start with clear objectives and choose tools to help achieve those objectives. The document provides suggestions for how teachers can incorporate technology into their classroom like having the librarian teach a search literacy class or creating a class newsletter. It also provides some website examples and tools for blogging, social bookmarking, and wikis.
Small Group Teaching
This document describes small group teaching techniques. It discusses the similarities and differences between small group and classroom teaching. Four key techniques for small groups are described: microteaching, case studies, questioning, and structured controversy. For each technique, examples and tasks are provided to help participants practice applying the techniques, including creating lesson plans, case studies, and generating different types of questions.
CanMeds RolesTeaching
This document provides an overview of how to prepare for teaching residents in clinical settings. It discusses relating CanMEDS roles to rotation objectives and using models to determine appropriate teaching techniques and feedback. The document outlines several teaching techniques, including illness scripts, the one-minute preceptor method, case studies, and direct observation. It emphasizes the importance of reflection and improvement in teaching skills.

Creating a Personal Learning Network
This document discusses creating personal learning networks (PLNs) and getting started with developing one's own PLN. It defines personal learning environments (PLEs) and PLNs, noting that people learn through connections to other people, places and ideas. It provides examples of ways to participate in and contribute to the expansion of knowledge through blogs, wikis, Twitter and other tools. It offers advice on starting small, following relevant experts on Twitter, reading blogs, and using tools like Diigo and Ning to connect with others and share resources. The document encourages asking yourself what you want to learn more about and what knowledge you have to share.
How Medical Students Learn
The document discusses how to improve learning and retention in medical students. It defines learning as developing expertise through knowledge, thinking skills, and ability to apply knowledge. It describes how working memory, long-term memory, and retrieval impact learning. Techniques like cases, questions, modeling and the skill learning cycle can help students develop clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills over unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence. The goal is for students to not just remember but understand material and act like physicians.
