Currently a classroom teacher in TUSD, Arizona, I will be posting educational content for use by classroom teachers whether they teach in person or online. My educational practice emphasizes active learning. So you will see decks on flipped learning and active learning strategies for youth and adults, as well as decks addressing strategies for engaging learners in reflective feedback conversations, discussions on cognitive error, a structured approach to problem-solving and critical thinking. I hope these are helpful to your professional practice. You will notice that 42 of these decks address a different audience -- educators who teach in medical education settings. Many of these do address issues pertinent as well to K-12 educators. These decks, however, indicate my former title, Director, Faculty Instructional Development at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Tucson. While this account has always been a personally owned and operated account, I have not changed the credits on those earlier decks (dated up through 2021) because I continue to make them available, in the Haiku Deck tradition, for use at the UArizona.

The ZPD Guide: Developmental Learning Theory a la Vygotksy

The ZPD Guide: Developmental Learning Theory a la Vygotksy

44 Slides350 Views

Education

This Haiku Deck illustrates LS Vygotsky's theory of learning and development as defined by the concept of the zone of proximal development -- the distance between what someone can do without assistance and what they could achieve with the strategic guidance of peers, teachers or other resources. Educators should create learning situations that challenge learners to draw on what they know and can do, while offering "strategic guidance" (Reiser, 2009) tor enhance or build new knowledge, skills and practices. Thus, Vygotksy's theory anticipates that learning leads development.

The ZDD Guide based on Vygotksy

Education

This Haiku Deck illustrates Spear-Ellinwood's characterization of the ZDD - the Zone of Distal Development, which extends Vygotksy's concept of the zone of proximal development. The ZDD is characterized by the distance between what the learner can achieve now without assistance and the ultimate goal of engagement in a longitudinal learning experience. The ZDD consists of a series of ZPDs through which the learner develops knowledge, skills and practices, attitudes and behaviors, that support achievement of successive proximal objects, bringing the ultimate or distal object of the longitudinal experience into proximal distance in the final zone.

Formulating Effective Inquiry

Formulating Effective Inquiry

28 Slides203 Views1 Haifive

Education, How To

There is a great difference between asking effective questions - questions that promote learning, and asking ineffective questions - questions that do not. The intended purpose is to ask questions that encourage the learner's active participation in thinking through the problem and finding a solution, without having to rely on the instructor to provide answers. This means we should activate what the learner knows in active, critical thinking and problem-solving. We should promote reflection on the issues, the role of society and self in addressing those issues, and the questions inevitably raised by any issue that is not well-settled. This Guide offers a "formula" for crafting effective questions that do just that.

Instructional Conversations

Instructional Conversations

38 Slides390 Views

Education, How To

The concept of "instructional conversations" was introduced by Goldenberg (1990) and elaborated by Gallimore & Goldenberg as well as Gallimore and Tharpe (1992/93). Sherry & Billig (2008) have discussed this as a helpful way to approach the teacher/learner relationship in higher education settings. Instructional Conversations is a Socratic art form, not simply a question & answer session. "A simple request-respond dyad does not constitute a true conversation, though the research shows that it is currently the most frequent type of conversation that occurs in both classrooms today," (Sherry & Billig, 2008, 2). Find out how you could use this approach in your teaching.
