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"

I just received end of semester student evaluations for fall 2010 semester.  Some students did not “buy into” the TBL theory of teaching.

I did my best to explain the justification for using TBL during the first week of class.

 

More specifically, I used

1.)    the process described in the attached document

First-Day Questions for the Learner-Centered Classroom

by Gary A. Smith  (National Teaching and Learning Forum, Sept. 2008)

 

and

 

 

2.)    the  video from U. of Texas  (http://magenta.cit.utexas.edu/largeclasses/#tbl)   .

 

Still, some students think they should be lectured to every class and, also, think they are being short- changed by a professor that uses TBL.

I have interacted with Larry Michaelsen over the years and have watched the videos at

             http://tblc.camp9.org/TBLVideos

Please advise me of things besides the above that will make students better “buy into” the TBL process.

 

Thanks in advance.
