Learning Theory and Pedagogical Use of

Technology(THEORY)


Objective

• The module includes three theoretical points of view on learning and the support of learning– self-regulated learning– collaborative learning,– learning of expertise.

• A central topic of examination is the potential of different technologies to support learning and collaborative knowledge construction.

• In this course, the student will be introduced to different collaborative learning models and themes related to the guidance and evaluation of learning.


Contents

• Self-regulated learning: Motivation in technology-supported environments

• Collaborative learning: perspective on group dynamics and social interaction

• Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) Learning of expertise

• Possibilities of supporting learning offered by technology

• Planning technology-supported learning, guiding, and evaluating learning


Learning objectives

After this course the student can• identify the theoretical learning-related principles that

form the basis of technology-supported studying and teaching

• define self-regulated learning, collaborative learning, and the acquisition of expertise on a conceptual level, as well as describe the relationships of those concepts

• justify the utilization of technology as support for learning from the point of view of learning research

• evaluate various collaborative learning models as supports for the learning sciences

• describe the basics of planning, supporting, and evaluating a learning process in a technology-based learning environment

Producing a ’science book’ collaboratively

• Structure– Introduction– Self-regulated learning– Collaborative learning and CSCL– Learning of expertice– Discussion– List of references

• Four groups/ three articles (+ lectures)• In wiki (GoogleDrive etc. in addition if needed)• Use texts, pictures, photos, videos etc.


FORMING THE GROUPS- Form groups of 5 students.- Discuss and decide the name of your group and write it

to the wiki.- Form the rules of your group work and write them down

in the wiki


Final exam

• Based on science books produced by the students.

• Questions made by the students.

• If possible, the exam will be in exam aquarium during weeks 50-51.

• Grade 1-5


Working methods and materials

• Lectures

• Study Circles

• Collaborative writing

• Final exam

• Reflective notes in digital portfolio

• All the slides and istructions can be found at: http://www.oulu.fi/let


Course assessment

• Grading: 0-5

Based on Active participation on lectures and study

circles The exam The collaboratively written book The reflective notes written on your portfolio

Intro and discussion


Evaluation criteria

• Knowledge base – All key points must be succinctly developed. Concepts are to be clearly elaborated and knowledge well established. Students should demonstrate familiarity with the phenomenon being studied.

• Structure – Work produced show clear arrangement. Opening, body and closing should be adequately conceptualized and structured. Title and subtitle should also be concise and informative. Overall design and presentation must adhere to guidelines.

• Use of references - References must be utilized in accordance to instructions given. All sources should be properly documented.

• Analysis and reflection – The main ideas of the project must be well evaluated by the group. The discussions and conclusion presented should be critical and analytical, and thoughtful considerations given to the materials used.

• Collaboration – Every individual is expected to contribute accordingly. Each member of the group should be equally committed to the outcome of the project.
