Process models What is a process model? –Identifies major types of activities and provides definitions for them –Describes the primary sequencing of activities during the development and completion of a design –Illustrates the relationships between activities during the development and completion of a design –Organizes the view of an activity for the purpose of those involved in that activity

Process models Activities can be identified by means of a list … –Analysis … collecting data that will impact the design of instruction –Design … creating the "blueprints" of the instructional experience –Development … turning the plans of the design phase become the reality of instructional materials and activities –Implementation … the instruction in practice –Evaluation … certifying that learning has actually occurred and identifying ways to improve future applications of the instructional activities and materials

Process models … but a list does not show sequencing or relationships.

Use of models Models help to teach and to learn. Using models … –Simplifies the view of a complex activity –Gives structure to the actions of a novice team working together –Ensures that important activities are not overlooked or grossly misplaced –Connects experienced action to abstract understanding –Shapes prior knowledge into accepted forms

Use of models Models help to answer these questions: –What should we do first? Next? –What have we overlooked? –Which activities are needed in order to provide information for other activities? –How do we know when we should move from one activity to another? –What do we need to know at certain times in a project? –How can we communicate efficiently with each other about our design activities?

Use of models Models help experienced designers … –Communicate efficiently with each other about their design activities –Discriminate between activities that may look and feel similar to one another, to avoid getting stuck or distracted –Explain what they do to others who need to understand it (clients, participants, other professionals, learners) –

What is Concept Concept is a category used to group similar ideas or things. It is a way to organize knowledge. A group of things that have something in common can be considered a concept. Learning concepts may involve either recall or application.

How do I choose an appropriate concept to teach for my project? Make sure it really is a concept and not a procedure. –If the idea of "how to" is embedded in it (how to set up a tent, how to bake a cake, how to iron, how to wrap a gift, etc.), then it is a procedure, not a concept. Remember that a concept is essentially a category. Next, make sure the concept is appropriate for this project and for your target audience.

Instructional approaches to teaching concepts Reigeluth Approach Tessmer, Wilson & Driscoll Approach And others

Reigeluth’s principles for teaching concepts Present a prototypical example. Facilitate discrimination: Present the definition of the concept (generality). Or, contrast an example and a matched nonexample to show only the variable characteristic and facilitate identification of the critical characteristic (e.g. fruits) Facilitate generalization: Present a generality which identifies most common variable characteristic. Or, present divergent examples and practice.

Reigeluth’s tactics for teaching concepts Presentation Generality: label, superordinate concept, critical characteristics Practice: New particulars which show the critical characteristics Feedback: Confirmation or correct answer.

What are the enrichment tactics for teaching concepts? Focus learner's attention on important parts. Use a variety of representations. Present an algorithm. Increase the number of examples & practice items. Sequence from easy to difficult. Provide encouragement & praise in feedback.

Concept Learning Concepts are categories of stimuli that have certain features in common. The shapes on the left are all members of a conceptual category: rectangle. Their common features are: (what are they?) (1) 4 lines; (2) opposite lines parallel; (3) lines connected at ends; (4) lines form 4 right angles. The fact that they are different colors and sizes and have different orientations is irrelevant. Color, size, and orientation are not defining features of the concept Analyzing Concepts

Concept Learning If a stimulus is a member of a specified conceptual category, it is referred to as a “positive instance - example”. If it is not a member, it is referred to as “negative instance – non example”. These are all negative instances of the rectangle concept: Analyzing Concepts As rectangles are defined, a stimulus is a negative instance if it lacks any one of the specified features.

Concept Learning Every concept has two components: Attributes: These are features of a stimulus that one must look for to decide if that stimulus is a positive instance of the concept. A rule: This a statement that specifies which attributes must be present or absent for a stimulus to qualify as a positive instance of the concept. Analyzing Concepts For rectangles, the attributes would be the four features discussed earlier, and the rule would be that all the attributes must be present.

Concept Learning Analyzing Concepts The simplest rules refer to the presence or absence of a single attribute. For example, a “vertebrate” animal is defined as an animal with a backbone. Which of these stimuli are positive instances? ++ + _ This rule is called affirmation. It says that a stimulus must possess a single specified attribute to qualify as a positive instance of a concept.

Concept Learning Analyzing Concepts The opposite or “complement” of affirmation is negation. To qualify as a positive instance, a stimulus must lack a single specified attribute. + _ An invertebrate animal is one that lacks a backbone. These are the positive and negative instances when the negation rule is applied. __

Concept Learning Analyzing Concepts More complex conceptual rules involve two or more specified attributes. For example, the conjunction rule states that a stimulus must possess two or more specified attributes to qualify as a positive instance of the concept. This was the rule used earlier to define the concept of a rectangle.

Concept Learning Behavioral Processes In behavioral terms, when a concept is learned, two processes control how we respond to a stimulus: Generalization: We generalize a certain response (like the name of an object) to all members of the conceptual class based on their common attributes. Discrimination: We discriminate between stimuli which belong to the conceptual class and those that don’t because they lack one or more of the defining attributes.

Concept Learning Behavioral Processes For example, we generalize the word “rectangle” to those stimuli that possess the defining attributes......and discriminate between these stimuli and others that are outside the conceptual class, in which case we respond with a different word: rectangle ?
