Educational Technology 2



Questions:
  1. Do the new learning theories mean we should stop memorization and drill activities in class? Why?
  2. There are official truths/principles in such disciplines as Ethics, Chemistry, Physics, History, etc. Do you think Constructivism really want to abandon universal truths/principles? (Clue: some beliefs result form faulty information, ancient/unscientific traditions. Primitive people believed the world was flat. Can you cite other examples of untruthful beliefs?)
  3. Can personal discoveries contradict socially/culturally accepted principles or values? (Clue: revolutions are cause by those in power like despots unwilling to change their ways. What did Jose Rizal and other patriots discover about colonization of the Philippine islands?)

Answer:
  1. Memorization is also relevant to learning process because if we do not memorize things definitely we cannot give our ideas or our insights about and explain if effectively. And if we do not do some drill activities how can we perfect or enhance our ability towards the lessons.
  2. No because when we say universal truths or principles, it is true and it has been undergone more testing and it has been proven. And when we say constructivism it is the creating of new concepts, ideas or knowledge. 
  3. Yes, because any personal ideas or discoveries as well is a product of constructivism and it may affect the beliefs of people towards their past beliefs.

    Implementing Resource-Based Learning

    Constructionism, Learning by Design, and Project Based Learning can easily be used as models for implementing resource-based learning in the classroom. Resource-based learning begins with clearly identified instructional goals. The teacher and media specialist decide on acceptable student-generated products. They divide the teaching responsibilities and gather varied resources. A timeline is created and the media center, computer lab, guest speakers and other resources are booked. Rubrics are designed and the students begin their quests. The teacher, often with input from the media specialist, evaluates the student produced artifacts. Finally, both the teacher and media specialist assess the success of the instruction itself, making adjustments for future implementations of the unit.

    These are the steps in implementing a resource-based learning unit:
    -Identify the goal or goals.

    -Determine acceptable student produced artifacts including, but not limited to timelines, electronic slideshows, dramatic readings, videos, debates, postcards, reports, diaries, hierarchal web-based documents, or poster-board presentations.

    -Collaborate with the media specialist to plan the unit. Divide the responsibilities.

    -Select resources in a variety of formats which can include diaries, WebQuests, original documents, newspaper articles, magazine articles, games, poems, reference books, nonfiction books, experts, videos, museums, maps, charts, the Internet, works of art, plays, CD-ROMs, musical compositions, costumes, exhibits, PowerPoint presentations and field trips. This list is neither exhaustive nor static. But, rather, it is a dynamic list that will grow and change as new technologies emerge. The idea is to enlist a multitude of quality resources that will help students gather information, create knowledge and increase understanding and skill (Thompson & Henley, 2000).

    -Create a timeline for implementation of the unit.

    -Schedule the media center, computer lab, guest speakers and field trips, if applicable.

    -Create rubrics used to evaluate student artifacts.

    -Evaluate student products using rubrics.

    -Collaboratively evaluate the effectiveness of the unit and revise appropriately.
