ACTIVE LEARNING

“Learning isn’t a spectator

sport.”OnCourse, p. 14

THREE PRINCIPLES OF DEEP AND LASTING LEARNING

Prior Learning: Relate new information to previously learned information.

Quality of Processing: Use numerous and varied deep processing strategies.

Quantity of Processing: Use frequent practice sessions of sufficient length distributed over time.

CORE LEARNING SYSTEM

Visual Aural Reading/Writing Kinesthetic

RESPONSIBILITY MODEL

THE WISE CHOICE PROCESS

1. What’s my present situation?(Identify the problem or difficulty.)

2. How would I like my situation to be?(Define my desired outcomes and experiences.)

3. What are my possible choices?(Without evaluating, make a list of options.)

4. What’s the likely outcome of each possible choice?(Missing information? Stop and get more!)

5. Which choice(s) will I commit to doing?(Make a promise to myself.)

6. When and how will I evaluate my plan?(Assess my results.)

THE WISE CHOICE PROCESS

FORMULA FOR MOTIVATIONV x E = M

"V" represents "Value" (how important something is to us)

"E" represents "Expectation" (how confident we are about achieving it)

Multiplying these two factors gives us "M," our level of "Motivation"
