Module 2: ABCD learning objectives - Web search
My energy was lifted up a bit after the discussion part with other members in group 6 as some ideas came across my mind about what I would do next with things I learnt from reading materials and others during the lesson. It was a productive lesson and I felt pretty good about my contribution during the discussion.
1. ABCD learning objectivesThree of us including Ms. Thanh, Ms. Hien and I are familiar with using ABCD model in writing learning objectives. The other three never used this method before but they did give an attempt to try and present their first ABCD learning objectives ever. Even to those who are currently using ABCD models, we didn't think we master it yet. We gave each other's work feedbacks and comments. Some reflections after the discussion that I think teachers should bear in mind when writing learning objectives include:- Behavior:+) Verbs selected to describe students' behavior which demonstrates their understanding of the lesson should be Specific (well defined, clear), Measurable (observable - can be heard, seen so that teacher can assess if students achieve the learning objective by the end of the lesson), Attainable (at cognitive level suitable/ appropriate with students' level), Relevant (topic - relevant or contribute to the achievement of overal learning outcomes)=> "know, learn, appreciate, remember, understand" which appeared in some samples presented should be avoided as they are not observable.+) One learning objective should describe only ONE behavior+) Ms. Huong's feedback to groups' report which resonates very well with my teaching beliefs. Teachers are encouraged to integrate higher level thinking verbs (based on Bloom Taxonomy) in writing learning objectives including learning objectives for very young learners. Don't underestimate the thinking power of young minds!Have you ever tried to flip the Bloom Taxonomy?This article provides an interesting perspective and thought-provoking opinions of the authout towards using BLOOM TAXONOMY: https://plpnetwork.com/2012/05/15/flipping-blooms-taxonomy/- Degree: This part of the learning objective caused some confusion among members in our group. However, after teacher anaylized several examples, I feel much more secure in my understanding about this part.How am I going to apply what I learnt in my daily teaching practice?Writing clear learning objectives is the first step in designing an effective lesson. Setting clear learning objectives will direct students' and teacher's activities to be goal-oriented. I will spend more time sharpening my objective writing skills. This is what I came up after the second module:2. Web search
My most often use search engines are Google and Bing. I recently tried some search engines suggested in https://www.searchenginewatch.com/2016/02/25/say-goodbye-to-google-14-alternative-search-engines/. However, I guess, that would not change much my searching habit. I will try and explore these tools in the future.
What I want to know more about this topic?
Do teachers always assess learners' understanding by the end of the lessons based on learning objectives?
How do teachers record student's performance against learning objectives?
Do they use assessment data after each lesson for future planning?
Is there any research comparing students' learning outcomes improve as a result of teachers setting ABCD learning objectives for each lesson?
I am rather interested in your second question. But can you make your question clearer so that I can understand your confusion well?
Trả lờiXóaHow do you know that your students achieve the learning objectives or not? / How do you know that your students are learning something from you?
XóaI feel interested in your questions. Let's discuss them in class.
