Common features of Powerful Learning Environments: De Corte (2000), De Corte et al (2003)
- group discussions of content & process
- authentic tasks and realistic problems that have personal meaning and future use
- initiate and support active, constructive learning processes
- enhance students’ awareness of their cognitive processes
Deep approach to learning: Biggs, Entwistle, Ramsden, Tait & McCune, Marton (1976 – 2006) Starts with an intention to form a personal understanding - plus a range of conceptually related learning processes:
- Active interest and personal engagement
- Thinking for yourself
- Relating ideas
- Gaining an overview
- Questioning and using evidence critically
- Seeking the main point / seeing the purpose or wider context of a task
- Drawing conclusions
- Monitoring understanding and regulating
The SLICE of LIFE Conference
- see the keynote presentation "Principles of E-learning: lessons from cognitive psychology" by Geoff Norman - he talks about Cognitive Overload and how text, image and sound can be less effective than sound and image (for example)
