Session 3 Baggio, Clark and Dervin Big Ideas
Baggio- The key ideas I found most significant and useful in my teaching was Baggio's approach the "Trilogy of the mind." it is a three fold approach to learning that incorporates the affective, cognitive and conative domains of the brain. It makes no difference what technologies, or approaches you use to create learning. If you don't design for the way that people learn, you are lowering the probability that they will learn. This is so significant in my classroom teaching the young children and engaging them in their learning.
I thought this idea from Baggio is very interesting and significant to remember in my teaching. This is one of my ahahas. Understanding how the brain takes in and processes information, where and how it is stored and how it can be retrieved is paramount in designing for learning. The conative domain is the least well known and is often over looked or ignored. The reason for this is that conation is your instinct, or firmware, and cannot easily be influenced or changed. Conation is our knack for doing things or how we do the things we do. It is totally separate from a person's intelligence, personality type, or learning style.
Dervin- "What is the gap and how do we bridge the gap in learning?" The big question teachers and administrators ask themselves everyday. This is what all educators are working towards.
Dervin’s contribution to the field of information science was to shed light on what she called the “cognitive gap,” or the break between observed “data” and the connotations that data carries, which can only be bridged by human intuition. Further, given that there is no such thing as plain, straightforward, unambiguous “information,” but only “communication” between the author and their audience, how the information is cataloged and presented is of the utmost importance. This reminds me that in my teaching, and how I create lesson plans to meet the needs of my students each one will process it differently and gain a different amount of information at different times. As an educator I can employ all of the best practices and differentiate as much as possible using the best resources. In the end each student will progress and improve in their own level of cognitive development and time.
Clark- The method that was significant to me as I learned about Clark is his "Instructional Systems design". This design has four ingredients of instruction. Information, performance, outcome, instructional media. There are similarities in this framework in what Baggio and Dervin discuss. What do we want to teach? How are we going to deliver it? This instructional method is useful for me to integrate in my classroom as I plan lessons and ask myself these questions. What do I want to teach? How and what is the best approach in delivering the information I want to teach?
These ideas influence my journey in a way where I'm more reflective and thoughtful of my teaching and the changes I would like to implement such as using technology more. It may take trial and error and stepping out of my comfort zone, but it will help support my driving question which is how can I differentiate instruction using technology as a high visual approach for learners with special needs?
My need to knows
How can I use technology more effectively?
Which methods would be most beneficial for teaching Literacy to students with special needs?
How can I increase visual learning in a highly engaging way?
