The Great Learninga
• The non-western way of thinking contributes to effective online communications for diverse teams in peer-to-peer collaboration.
• A well-known philosopher expressed the insight that the cultivation of the person depends on the “rectifying of the mind” (Confucius, 500 B.C.E) …which can be understood as expressing meaning in reasoning…

Tip #2 Open evaluation of learning experience increases awareness and trust
• A successful program is designed to cultivate ways of knowing.
• … inspires and facilitates stakeholders toward a “shared vision of purposeful change that maximizes use of digital-age resources to meet and exceed learning goals, support effective instructional practice, and maximize performance of district and school leaders” (ISTE, 2009).

Learning Styles / Influences
What are the influences on how we learn?What is the process we go through to learn?
What are the demographics of adult learners now?
A successful program is designed to cultivate ways of knowing.

Andragogy vs. Pedagogyb
Demands of learning
Learners balance life responsibilities with chosen demands of learning.
Learners can devote more time to the demands of learning, responsibilities are taken care of by someone else
Role of instructor (facilitator)
Learners are autonomous and self directed. Facilitators guide the learners to their own knowledge
Learners rely on the instructor to direct the learning. Fact based lecturing is often the mode of knowledge transmission
![Page 39: Shifting toward a Learner Centered Paradigm](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042521/545571a1af7959795d8b47bc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Andragogy vs. Pedagogyc
Life experiences
(stories, lessons)
Learners apply lessons from life experiences, recognizing the value in connecting the learning to own knowledge base
Learners build a knowledge base and are shown how life experiences connect with the present learning.
Learning Purpose
Learners become goal oriented and define the purpose served by new information
Learners accept instructions to learn certain information
Learning Retention
Learning is self-initiated, self propelling and long term
Learning is compulsory and tends to be forgotten shortly after instruction.

Setting Forces
What behaviors exhibit self-sabotage?

Tip #6 Build upon prior knowledgea
... “applying knowledge in practice and reflects the concept of learning by doing” (Xu & Quaddus, 2005). In support of the inductive approach, means guiding learners into internalizing lessons for explicit knowledge.
A successful program is designed to cultivate ways of knowing.

Five Phase Model Applied. Phase Role of Model Role of Model
1 Modeling Real-life tasks with explicit guidance using artifacts and lectures that explain “tricks of the trade”
2 Approximating
ScaffoldingCoaching and providing immediate feedback to learners
3 Fading, observing and
Coaching
Delegating coaching to teams, lighten the
scaffolding, more dialog instead of lecture style instructions
4 Self-Directed Learning (by individuals and teams)
Provide assistance. Encourage requests for further guidance based on direction already established independently.
5 Generalizing contextuality
During an end-of-course evaluation generalize what has been accomplished.
