Hi
I tell students to think about what workplace learning will be like
Look something up online, read a bit, lean over to the next cubicle....maybe
get some clarification from near-peer.....maybe ask your boss next....the
company expert....eventually the industry expert across town
the real theme here is you trying to understand as much as you can by
yourself....then talking with near-peer (teammate)....then talking to boss
or expert (whole class conversation)
trying to understand the importance of the increasingly sophisticated
conversation to increase your understanding
BOTTOM LINE
TBL is like WORKPLACE LEARNING
####################
I have an instructor that has taught Construction Management for 6 years
using TBL......after the first year....he now spends some time going over
Bloom's Taxonomy.....so students have a framework to understand what he is
trying to do
##################
Reminding students of your rationales
I think once a semester is NOT enough....keep reminding students why you do
what you do
######################
two best quotes of last few week
"student evaluations are about managing expectations"
"who ever does the work, does the learning"
