Learners and Learning: Section One: About this moduleSaide OER Africa
This covers the writers’ understanding of learning and how this informs the learning guide. It also explains how the writers intended the module to be studied. Learners and Learning aims to develop your understanding of learning. It seeks to assist you, as a teacher, to be able to analyse learning, and in so doing, to reflect on what you can do to improve it. We have divided the module into six sections.
This first section:
• introduces the module;
• discusses how we’d like you to study;
• explains how we understand learning;
• begins to explore, at a simple level, how learning is initiated

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. What did we discuss?
Are there any pressing issues/ questions/ ideas
that arose during the week?
Is there anything that needs to be clarified so far?
Did you use any of the strategies we learned or
applied any of the knowledge we discussed last week
at school in any way?
How did you do with the UdB unit? The
GANAG lesson plan?
lunes, 11 de febrero de 13
3. What was your
E = Excited. What excites you about this idea or proposition?
It´s so much more interesting and leads to deeper learning. The idea of
going deeper when planning a unit or lesson, it makes more sense when
thinking about our thinking and teaching practices. Teachers can
teach towards concept within a subject. It doesn´t seem so difficult to
implement. Gives new ways for students to recognise their learning
progress, I am really excited to continue working with thinking
routines, Preparing myself to become a better teacher, it is great to be able
to teach kids how to think because thats a tool for their whole lives, It is
interesting to explore new ways of thinking and perspectives, it is a great
way to identify how students are performing in class, Apply it in my school,
loved the routines it is a way of helping students go further and
understand, making thinking visible makes kids aware of their
thinking (metacognition) and not just providing a final answer, Good
thinking is not only a matter of skills but also dispositions, the way those
models take into account higher level thinking skills.
lunes, 11 de febrero de 13
4. What was your
W = Worrisome. What do you find worrisome about this idea?
The right design of the unit and GANAG planning, really teaching towards
an enduring understanding, how do I know they really got it? practice,
if not implemented well some of the “requirements” may fallout, The
implementation in my own school - how can I change the curriculum? the
difference between concept and topics, a lot of information so I feel a bit
confused, writing the big ideas or enduring understandings,
applying those ideas into my lesson plans, how to make students feel
successful, it is all very complex - I have to digest it, the time it takes
lunes, 11 de febrero de 13
5. What was your
N = Need to Know. What else do you need to know or find out about it? What
additional information would help you?
understanding my students needs, work with thinking routines
ourselves before using the strategies with the students, understand the
thinking routines, what protocol to use, difference between concepts and
topics, how to apply this in a public school, learn to write
generalisations or big ideas, how to effectively involve students in what
is meaningful to them to understand, new ideas to make learning visible,
get more practice
lunes, 11 de febrero de 13
6. What was your
S = Stance, Steps, or Suggestions for Moving Forward. What is your current
stance on the idea or proposition? What steps might you take to increase your
understanding of the issue?
Be more aware and smart, it is a process, practice, how does it look like in a
classroom with young children, complete a good plan, need to read more
and feel more confident, I am just at the beginning, Apply it, see more
examples, it will be useful in my classroom to lower anxiety and increase
understanding, learn how to focus on big ideas and not just the small details
