Extractions: Home Creating a Vision (Shared Teaching Beliefs - adapt for your school) This Framework has been developed as the result of input from a number of schools. It is constantly evolving. If you can see a use for it in your school it is suggested that the staff first list their own learning beliefs and then combine the Framework below to customise to suit their own circumstances. Some schools have also included in the appropriate section the official Professional Standards. The Framework is based on the belief that students not only need a good grounding in the foundation skills of numeracy and literacy but also need experience to develop the skills and attitudes to become life-long learners , able to thrive in a rapidly changing world. It combines the best of traditional and innovative approaches to learning - the best of both worlds. A more Informed Vision for the 21stC. The Framework is an attempt to defines the philosophy in action of our School Vision and Core Teaching Beliefs. It provides clear expectations, a sense of unity and consistency for the teaching teams.

Extractions: About SABES Contact Us Site Map What's New ... Other Sites Fostering Independent Learning by Tom Lynch Field Notes main page Summer 2000 issue O ne of my biggest challenges over the last ten years has been motivating students to become more responsible for their own learning. While some students relied almost completely on the teacher for direction, were frequently absent or late for class, neglected homework, or forgot their books at home, the more successful students not only managed their assignments, but did additional work and always seemed to be one step ahead of everyone else. The successful students are what I want so much to teach all my students to become: motivated, independent learners. As teachers know, we cannot "teach" passive learners to become independent learners. We can, according to Paulo Freire , create and support the conditions where teachers and students share power in learning rather than the traditional "teacher as the expert" model. Creating these conditions helps promote independent learning. I believe two areas are crucial to motivating students to become independent learners-teacher preparedness and student learning-to-learn strategies. Teacher Preparedness

Some teachers say that there is now less opportunity within their subject for independent learning, particularly at AS, and are looking at ways to ensure that students still develop skills in this area. Ofsted calculates that, on average, less than 10 per cent of students' time is not teacher-directed. Inspectors also point out that students are often positive about how much more they learn when they are required to be at 'supervised workstations'. In several surveys, students have said that what they need most help with is time management - they find it difficult to make the move from recording what needs to be done, to scheduling their work in accordance with priorities. Students' workloads are heaviest when they have two or more teachers for a subject, when coursework deadlines coincide and when they take subjects with similar demands (particularly essay writing). Studies indicate a significant difference in the number of hours that students spend on homework.

Learning Environments / Developing Independent Learners A one day workshop held on Wednesday 31 March 2004, jointly organised by the University of Portsmouth Business School and LTSN BEST The workshop was opened and delegates welcomed by Marjorie Corbridge, BEST Key Contact at University of Portsmouth Business School. Marjorie was representing Ann Ridley, Dean of the Business School who was unable to be present and sent her apologies. Independent Learning Dr Sherria Hoskins, Psychology Department, University of Portsmouth Some of the problems with the expectation of independent learning highlighted in the presentation are: We cannot rely on the intrinsic motivation of students and must recognise that they are assessment driven. However we do not always use assessment as well as we might and tend to assess the product rather than the process. For the development of independent learning the process is important. Sherria suggested that much of the research on well-being in the workplace is relevant to the educational context. The next part of the meeting required delegates to chose to attend two of three possible workshops. Each workshop ran twice in the day. The workshops were:
Preparing To Teach Literacy (html) 2.2.4 The pace of work during teaching and learning activities in the HEIs wasusually all programmes involved student teachers in independent learning http://www.hmie.gov.uk/documents/publication/pttl-04.htm
Extractions: Previous Contents Next Preparing to teach literacy HEIs should share their expertise to devise effective ways of demonstrating to student teachers that good theory and good practice are inextricably inter-related. In some HEIs, there was need to ensure more overt and consistent attention to helping student teachers develop their understanding of the role of language in learning their subject and effective ways of teaching pupils to read and write within it. Opportunities were sometimes missed to help student teachers see how significant language dimensions in activities and assessment assignments were related to effective teaching in a subject. However, this issue was raised by enough school staff with experience of supporting student teachers to suggest that the HEIs should consider how best to meet the need for more detailed information, possibly using print materials and/or web site facilities. However, in several institutions there were student teachers whose own command of language was limited. These students needed more proactive guidance and support from the HEI on where and how to find help.

Extractions: David and Carole Baume Research students, research assistants and graduate teaching assistants are increasingly being asked to take on more undergraduate teaching tasks. This series of books written by David and Carole Baume is designed to support these new teachers as they plan and review effective teaching and learning sessions, mark graduate students' work and give useful feedback to students. The booklets build on the experiences of the research students as learners themselves. They include checklists and worksheets which can be used in a series of workshops or for independent study by research students alone or in groups. Titles in the series include: Powerful ideas in teaching and learning Introduction: What is teaching? Students construct knowledge Students need the whole picture Students learn well by doing Taking responsibility for learning Students are driven by assessment Students often only memorise Students' attention is limited Students are selectively negligent Students can be overburdened Students do well in small groups Students have feelings

Extractions: The University of Western Australia There are several limitations in the traditional pedagogical methods wherein the lecturer delivers course material to students in the classroom. Students are largely passive in their learning approach and depend on the lecturer to provide the information in the course. In small group situations this method of teaching can be modified to facilitate the development of communication and team skills in addition to the acquisition of other important skills such as questioning, thinking critically, participation in discussions, researching a topic and presentation of research. The question posed in this paper is: How can we make learning enjoyable for students while assisting them in acquiring transferable skills? This paper outlines a method of interactive and peer-assisted learning in two units: Molecular Genetics and Plant Breeding 303; and Molecular Genetics, Plant and Animal Improvement 403 developed for third and fourth year students at the University of Western Australia. In this study, students were required to select a topic in molecular genetics, research the topic seeking help from the lecturer if required, prepare a 3000 word written assignment and make a presentation to their peers. In this paper we address the questions posed above and examine the students' feedback in the light of their learning.
