Active Learning with Technology

The SLS Pedagogical Scaffold 2.0

SLS PS 2.0_Phase 2

It is about facilitating active learning with technology.

Teachers design learning activities based on the four active learning processes and facilitate the learning interactions during lessons. 

Three Learning Principles

_{that guide the way we design for active learning with technology.}

• Engaging preconceptions

• Developing Schema

• Metacognition

Multiple Select

"Students have preconceptions about how the world works and that must be engaged and harnessed for conceptual change."

Which principle it address?

• Engaging Preconceptions

• Developing Schema

• Metacognition

Multiple Select

"Students need support to take control of their learning by defining learning goals, monitoring their own progress in achieving them and thinking about their own thinking and actions."

Which principle it address?

• Engaging Preconceptions

• Developing Schema

• Metacognition

Multiple Select

"To develop competence in an area of inquiry, students must be supported to understand ideas in the context of a conceptual framework, re-organise knowledge according to their own structures for retrieval and application."

Which principle it address?

• Engaging Preconceptions

• Developing Schema

• Metacognition

Poll

1st _Activate Learning

When activating students' learning, _With technology, the teacher can provide multimodal stimuli such as videos, infographics and interactive media to trigger students’ prior understanding of the topic and identify any misconception that he may need to address.

• I understand the role of technology in "Activate Learning" process.

• I don't understand the role of technology in "Activate Learning" process.

Poll

2nd_Promote Thinking and Discussion

At this stage, the teachers guide the students in using thinking strategies and routines to deepen their learning through the different interactions. Technology can be leveraged to scaffold students’ learning and offer personalised learning pathways. Students can leverage online tools and resources to collaborate and research.

• I understand the role of technology in "Promote Thinking and Discussion" process.

• I don't understand the role of technology in "Promote Thinking and Discussion" process.

Poll

3rd_Facilitate Demonstration of Learning

In this process, technology affords the students to express themselves in a myriad of media forms, offering autonomy. They can receive automated feedback on their work, or feedback from the teacher and peers synchronously or asynchronously, depending on the digital tool used.

• I understand the role of technology in "Facilitate Demonstration of Learning" process.

• I don't understand the role of technology in "Facilitate Demonstration of Learning" process.

Poll

4th_Monitor and Provide Feedback

Throughout the learning process, technological affordances bring out efficient and effective means to data collection, providing meaningful visual representations for analysis and insight. It supports teachers to monitor students' understanding, review their progress and provide timely and relevant feedback.

• I understand the role of technology in "Monitor and Provide Feedback" process.

• I don't understand the role of technology in "Monitor and Provide Feedback" process.
