Is it YOU? Is it THEM? Is it the CURRICULUM? You know that you taught it, so why don’t they remember? Why is it so difficult for good teachers to connect with some students? You love to teach, but does it have to be so frustrating? Keeping it fun and lively, Rom Duckworth shows why the “Curse of Knowledge” can actually make it harder for the most experienced educators to reach their students. Attendees will learn the origins and current applications of adult education theory as well as new ideas as to what makes in-formation “sticky” to students. Most importantly, this program presents instructors with the techniques to troubleshoot training program issues and keys to motivating students who don’t seem to otherwise respond to your best efforts.</b> <br> Teaching Formats: -Lecture -Interactive Role Play <br> Learning Objectives: Students will learn: -How to improve not just test scores, but the also retention of knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge in real-world emergency services. -How to conduct an assessment of learning factors pertinent to an entire education pro-gram, a single class or even a specific student. -The selection and use of different motivators, presentation types and activities in the EMS classroom. -How to follow the path of development from “Trainer” to “Instructor” to “Educator”. -How the application of higher education theories such as Perry’s “journey of growth” from received knowledge to constructed knowledge is critical to create effective EMS field care providers. <br> Notes: Updated for 2011. As seen in EMS World online and the EMS EduCast Podcast. <br> http://www.emsworld.com/web/online/Education/Why-Wont-They-Learn-Part-3/5$18217 <br> http://www.emseducast.com/archives/633

- PEDAGOGYUnlike the kinds of learning we do in the classroom, ones that require learning out of “context,” Lave (1988) suggests that there are learning activities that can be “situational.” This type of learning is based on a community setting, and occurs in a social environment. Situational learn- ing is characterized by collaborative social interaction and requires that information be presented in a relevant context. This applies to adult learn- ers because they are more likely to have realistic problems that need to be resolved. Adult learners are expected to be critically reflective and to question their assumptions about answers to these problems (Stein, 1998). Although we don’t see this as strictly the purview of the adult classroom and we do encourage the community of learning philosophy, we think that adult learners are more inclined to take on these types of learning experi- ences without direction from a teacher. Young (1993) believes that there are four distinct components that should be included in this type of learning: situations that promote real- istic, problem-centered and complex activities; situations where teachers must scaffold the learners; situations where teachers must be seen as learning facilitators, not transmitters of information; and an ongoing assessment to determine how the learner and the learning community are progressing (Stein, 1998).
- Level One: Non-learningIn the first three routs or choices of the nine routs no learning takes place:1) Presumption people react through mechanical response (like saying hello) or a presumption that what has previously worked will work again.2) Non-consideration when a person does not respond to a potential learning situation.3) Rejection when a person consciously chose to reject the opportunity to learn.Level Two: Non-reflective learningThe second three routs of the nine include a small amount of learning occurring for the individual:4) Pre-conscious when having experiences in daily living that are not really thought about.5) Practice when a person practices a new skill until it is learned. An example would be training for a particular physical skill or the acquisition of a language.6) Memorization when acquiring presented information the learner learns the information so it can be reproduced at a later time.Level Three: Reflective learningThe final three routs of the nine considered choices of reflective learning.7) Contemplation when a person thinks about what is being learned.8) Reflective practice when there is reflection prior to an action and during the action. An example would be problem solving.9) Experiential learning when there is actual experimenting on one’s environment. It is postulated this might be the way to learn pragmatic knowledge.[3] [[4]],[[5]]
