A lot of schools in Norway practice an individual plan - a so called ” plan of work” or study plan.

interest in your own school ?

Ian Fox, Head teacher,

Student centred learning
• How can we create student centred learning?
•Teachers need to focus on the student’s needs, abilities, and interests -- they need to "look at how kids learn, rather than at what there is to teach" (Aaronsohn 1996).

In addition to learning goals and

What do I know from before ?

Deep learning and surface learning
Deep learning approach An intention to develop personal
understanding
Active interaction with content, particularly relating new ideas for previous knowledge and experience
Linking ideas together using integrating principles
Relating evidence to conclusions
Surface learning approach An intention to be able to reproduce
content as required
Passive acceptance of ideas and information
Lack of recognition of guiding principles and patterns
Focusing learning on assessment requirements.

Main model for learning(KWL – form )
1. What do I
know from
before
Know
2. This is what
I want to learn
Want
3. This is what
I have learned

The meaning of knowing has shifted from being
able to remember and to repeat information - to be
able to find and use it. (Herbert Simon)

Learning strategies
HOW TO IMPLEMENT LS. IN SCHOOL:
•Introduce the strategy
•Modelling by the teacher
•Practice and guidance
•Individually work
”The strategy door”reminds the students of the learning strategies they have learned.

Facilitate learning
How is it possible to facilitate learning to each pupil compared to :
skills
maturity
learning style
without knowing how they learn?
05.10.2009 48
Model – learning style
05.10.2009 49
At the university college I had a very good teacher in biology.
Why was he a good teacher for me?
His teaching style matched my learning style.

For discussion
If I as an external
evaluator spent a week at
your school – what would
I see of learning styles, MI
and learning strategies –
are they important at your
school? Give examples

The vital element
"An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers,
but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.“
---Carl Jung

Prof. Bill Rogers, Austrailia
It is, generally speaking the
positive relationships we develop with our
students, they remember
05.10.2009 55
For discussion
Reflect on your own time as a
student.
Did you meet any teacher who
touched your heart and who had
impact on your life?
And – what about your own
teaching/ work in the library - is
building relationship important to
you?

The assessment wave
05.10.2009 66
Assessment for learningImproving learning depends on five simple factors:
1. Providing effective feedback to students2. Student’s active involvement in their own learning3. Adjusting teaching to take account of the result
of assessment4. Recognising the profound influence of assessment
on student’s motivation and self- esteem – both crucial influence on learning.
5. Ensuring pupils reflection on their learning and understand how to improve.

Paul Black
Three main questions
05.10.2009 67
1. Where am I going?
2. How am I going?
3. Where to next?
05.10.2009 68
The student-teacher dialogoue is…
A tool to:
•Understand
•Plan
•Facilitate and
•evaluate
The student’s learning.
05.10.2009 69
Teacher – student dialogoue
Frequent feedback is a powerful instrument for learning.
Individual guidance gives you an opportunity to build another kind of relation – the so called knowledge –relation.
05.10.2009 70
Feedback from pupils
•11 years old Marius gets feedback from his classmates after a power point presentation.
•They have discussed his presentation in groups.
•Now their feedback must consist of one positive comment and one element he should improve.

05.10.2009 74
1. Have a talk about the practice of Assessment for Learning in your school.
2. And what about the teacher-student dialogue - is it , or could it be a tool for learning in your school?

Student portfolio
A portfolio could look like this.
But more and more a digital portfolio or a mixture between digital and traditional portfolio seems to be what schools go for.
“ What my portfolio shows about my progress as a learner”
05.10.2009 78
A positive angel
Portfolio brings into focus the strength of each student.
Clarifies possibilities.
Demonstrate what the student is able to.
Demonstrate what can be
improved. A tool for learning and
evaluation.

Learning by reflection
How did my work go this week ?
How has my effort been? Did I achieve my goals? What was easy? What was difficult? How was my thinking
about…... What can I do to learn
more? Is there anything I can
do in another way?
