EDTE 408 Principles of Teaching Session 2 Dimensions of Learning: An Overview 4/25/2019

Board Work Share your definition of teaching and your definition of learning with your teammates. Use the following process: Working as an individual, review your definitions (making any changes you want in pencil) until you get at least two team members at your table. After you have 2-3 team members at your table, go around the table and read your definitions of teaching. After every team member has read her/his definition discuss any similarities or differences you noticed. Next have each person read his/her definition of learning. Now discuss any similarities between your definitions of teaching and your definitions of learning. Place your definitions in the communication folders in the center of your table. 4/25/2019

The Five Dimensions 4/25/2019

Learners’ Questions Do I feel accepted? Am I comfortable? Am I safe? Is this information useful or interesting to me? Can I do this? Do I know what is expected? 4/25/2019

Think-Pair-Share Think of a situation when you were a learner and your attitudes and perceptions influenced your learning, either positively or negatively. Share your experience with your north/south partner. 4/25/2019

Attitudes and Perceptions About Classroom Climate Feel accepted by teachers and peers Experience a sense of comfort and order About Classroom Tasks Perceive tasks as valuable and interesting Believe they have the ability and resources to complete tasks Understand and be clear about tasks 4/25/2019

The procedure is actually quite simple The procedure is actually quite simple. First, you arrange items into different groups. Of course, one pile may be sufficient depending on how much there is to do. If you have to go somewhere else due to a lack of facilities, that is the next step; otherwise, you are pretty well set. It is important not to overdo things. That is, it is better to do too few things at once than too many. In the short run, this may not seem important, but complications can easily arise. A mistake can be expensive as well. At first, the whole procedure will seem complicated. Soon, however, it will become just another facet of life. It is difficult to foresee any end to the necessity for this task in the immediate future, but then, one never can tell. After the procedure is complete, you arrange the materials into different groups again. Then you can put them into their appropriate places. Eventually, they will be used again, and the whole cycle will then have to be repeated. However, that is part of life. 4/25/2019

Think-Pair-Share Suppose there is a school in which the report card students take home includes only these 15 habits of mind. These are the only things for which students receive actually grades; the curriculum stays the same. Students are given assignments and feedback on how well they are doing, but grades are limited to these 15 habits of mind. Would you want to work at this school? Why or why not? Think about this, pair up with your north/south partner and share your thoughts. 4/25/2019

Closure: Think-Pair-Share North South Partners One of you is partner A; the other partner B Spend a little time reflecting on what you learned today. A’s – Identify and briefly describe each of the five dimensions of learning. B’s – After your “A” partner has described a dimension, identify one thing that was clear, or validating, and one thing that was perhaps confusing, or of concern. Be prepared to share your thoughts with the whole class. 4/25/2019
