Writing an effective Learning Outcome Learning Outcome should be learner (student) centred, not instructor centred. Instructor Centred OutcomeLearner Centred Outcome During this session the instructor will introduce the criteria used in determining the strength of a support system. By the end of the session the students will be able to apply the criteria necessary to determine the strength of the support system presented.

Think of the mini lesson you will teach next time and write a learning outcome.

Assess the learning outcome … What will the learner do? Which level of Bloom? Is the activity observable? Is the activity measurable? Is the learning outcome derived from the concept map?

Write another leaning outcome: One that applies to a particular day in a course you might be TA’ing.

Assess your partner’s learning outcome … What will the learner do? Which level of Bloom? Is the activity observable? Is the activity measurable? Is the learning outcome derived from the concept map?

Tips for Writing Objectives Objectives should specify four main things: Objectives should specify four main things: – Audience - Who? Who is this aimed at? – Behavior - What? What do you expect them to be able to do? Use action verbs to describe an overt, observable behavior. – Condition - How? Under what circumstances will the learning occur? – Degree - How much? This is often called the ABCD's of objectives. This is often called the ABCD's of objectives.

Most of the time students are involved only passively in learning: in listening to the instructor, looking at the occasional overhead or slide, reading the text book.

Research shows that such passive involvement generally leads to a limited retention of knowledge by students. Adapted from R.M. Felder and R. Brent Effective Teaching Workshop, North Carolina State University, 1997

Participatory or Active Learning What are active learning strategies and how can we use them in a course?

Think/Pair/Share Each person considers the topic/question and writes down some ideas/answers. S/he joins with one other for discussion. This provides a good basis for wider discussion.

Buzz Groups Working in small groups, people discuss an issue. Topics can include: How much they already know about a topic How much they already know about a topic What they are not sure about What they are not sure about What they want the lecturer to cover next What they want the lecturer to cover next

Round Every person takes a turn to make a statement. Useful topics: One thing I need to know about … One thing I need to know about … Something that I learned today Something that I learned today One important point (about the topic) … One important point (about the topic) …

Case studies A ‘story’ or scenario is presented to the group (often, but not always, as a handout). Groups discuss the story or work together on questions.

Group discussion Groups (up to 6 people) talk about a topic. A set of questions from the lecturer helps to structure the discussion and focus the group. The larger the group, the more difficult it is for everyone to participate actively.

Maypole When the leader is the central figure and communication occurs from the leader to the member and from the member to the leader

Tell your partner Pairs. Each person explains a topic/concept/ answer to someone else. The partner has to listen, then ask questions.

Fishbowl One group discusses a topic. The second group observes the discussion and each person records: One group discusses a topic. The second group observes the discussion and each person records: A partner’s contributions (and gives individual feedback afterwards), or A partner’s contributions (and gives individual feedback afterwards), or The important parts of the discussion (may be identification of issues, applications, generalizations, etc., depending on the task instructions) The important parts of the discussion (may be identification of issues, applications, generalizations, etc., depending on the task instructions)

Peer evaluation The class is divided into pairs. Partners exchange written work or observe each other’s oral presentation. They give each other feedback and work together to identify : The class is divided into pairs. Partners exchange written work or observe each other’s oral presentation. They give each other feedback and work together to identify : What was good What was good What needed improvement What needed improvement How it could be improved How it could be improved They can focus on delivery and/or content. This activity works best if students already have knowledge on the topic. Giving them a checklist is also a good idea. They can focus on delivery and/or content. This activity works best if students already have knowledge on the topic. Giving them a checklist is also a good idea.

Role play Groups/ pairs/ individuals ‘act out’ information on a specific topic, often in front of the class or group. If they lack confidence, they can work in pairs without ‘performing’ in front of the whole class. Set a time limit for each group. This activity can be used for formative or summative assessment. It is important to allow time for participants to de-role/debrief.

Presentations Individuals or small groups find information on a topic, then prepare and deliver a short informative session to the wider group.

Syndicates Groups of students work together on a project(s) which entails researching and presenting (written and/or oral) information. Useful for focusing on group and cooperative skills while covering discipline content.

Brainstorming Everyone thinks of as many different ideas as possible. All ideas are accepted and recorded without comment. The ideas are evaluated after a set time period or when inspiration ends.

1 – 2 – 4 – more Each person writes brief notes about the topic and then compares them with a partner. Each pair discusses its combined list with another couple. This provides a good basis for discussion in the wider group. It is a good idea to limit the ‘1 – 2 – 4’ stages, e.g. 2 minutes or so for individual and for paired work, 5 minutes for the ‘4’ stage.
