Learning outcomes

- to discuss teaching practices in different contexts

- to plan for interaction and student engagement

- to reflect on current practice - to develop an action plan to refine approaches used to maximise engagement and learning

Preparing to teach...

3 questions

Page 16: Teaching in Higher Education

Q1 - Who?

A1: Students in Higher Education

Page 17: Teaching in Higher Education

Q2 - What

do you want students to learn and achieve?

Page 18: Teaching in Higher Education

Q3 - How

do you want students to learn and achieve the goals you set

for them ?

Page 19: Teaching in Higher Education

Constructive alignment 1 2

1 - students construct meaning through relevant learning

activities --> creation (teaching as a catalyst for learning)

2 - what the teacher does to support learning

--> facilitation (of an environment for learning)

Page 20: Teaching in Higher Education

4 - Arriving at a final grade.

Constructive alignment requires 4 steps:

1 - Defining the intended learning outcomes (ILOs);

2 - Choosing teaching/learning activities likely to lead to the ILOs

3 - Assessing students' actual learning outcomes to see how well they match what was intended

....is a statement of what a learner is

expected to know,

understand and be able to

do at the end of a period of learning and of how that learning is to be demonstrated. (Moon, 2002)

A learning outcome...

Moon, J. (2002) The Module and Programme Development Handbook. London: Kogan Page Limited

Page 22: Teaching in Higher Education

Learning outcomes should:

• be written in the future tense

• identify important learning requirements

• be achievable and

• assessable use clear language easily understandable to students

When writing outcomes, it may be useful to use the following expression

At the end of this module you should be able to.......

Let’s write some learning outcomes!

Active learning in laboratories?

You have it easy! :-)

Research advocates interaction!

Learning activities in labs

Page 34: Teaching in Higher Education

Let’s designactivities for learning!

Page 35: Teaching in Higher Education

Things to consider:

• How does the learning outcome relate to the learning activity?

• How long will the activity take?

• How do you communicate the activity to the students?

• How will students be engaged?

• How will students demonstrate their learning?
