1. The document discusses a framework called How Learning Works that bridges educational research findings and teaching practices. It outlines seven principles of how students learn based on cognitive science, including that students' prior knowledge and motivation impact learning. 2. A case study is presented on the use of PeerWise, a student-generated multiple choice question tool, in a physics course. Students engaged well beyond minimum requirements, and participation was correlated with learning outcomes. PeerWise exemplified principles like knowledge organization and motivation. 3. The document concludes by acknowledging contributions and providing resources on How Learning Works and PeerWise for further information.

Ah yes, but that would never work with my students
- 1. “Ah yes, but that would never work with my students….” Simon Bates CTLT Institute May 2013
- 2. Overview I. A framework for learning (and teaching) II. One such framework: How Learning Works III. Two principles, expanded IV. Case study: PHYS101 at UBC
- 3. What is known about learning… • is a process not a product • involves change in knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, or attitudes • is not something done to students, but rather something students themselves do
- 4. What is known about learning… Effective teaching has to be rooted in what improves learning The instructor can advance learning only by influencing what the student does to learn
- 5. Implications for the new instructor • Do NOT do what I did • Seek out, learn from, incorporate teaching strategies that are: – Theory-grounded – Evidence-based Finding these in your ‘Goldilocks Zone’ is not always easy
- 6. Bridging • What is needed is a framework that bridges and • Fortunately, such frameworks already exist.
- 7. “Ah yes, but that would never work with my students….”
- 9. What HLW is about: • A bridge between research about learning research and implications for teaching practice : – Why certain teaching approaches are or are not supporting students’ learning – Teaching approaches that effectively foster student learning in specific contexts – Transferring and applying these principles
- 10. About the 7 principles • Research in brain science, cognitive, developmental, and social psychology, anthropology, education, and diversity studies • K-12 and higher education • Domain-independent • Experience-independent • Cross-culturally relevant
- 11. 7 Principles 1. Students prior knowledge can help or hinder learning 2. How students organize knowledge influences how they learn and apply what they know 3. Students’ motivation determines, directs, and sustains what they do to learn 4. To develop mastery, students must acquire component skills, practice integrating them, and know when to apply what they have learned
- 12. 7 Principles 5. Goal-directed practice coupled with targeted feedback enhances the quality of students’ learning 6. Students’ current level of development interacts with the social, emotional, and intellectual climate of the course to impact learning 7. To become self-directed learners, students must learn to monitor and adjust their approaches to learning
- 15. Principle 2: Knowledge Structure and Organization How students organize knowledge influences how they learn and apply what they know
- 16. Principle 2: Knowledge Structure and Organization How experts and novices structure and organize knowledge Source HLW Fig 2.1
- 17. Principle 2: Knowledge Structure and Organization Consider the following code key 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
- 18. Principle 2: Knowledge Structure and Organization Write down your phone number in the symbolic code
- 19. Principle 2: Knowledge Structure and Organization Consider the following code key 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
- 21. 1 2 3 64 98 5 7
- 22. What the research shows • When S are provided with a structure for organizing new info, they learn more and better • S show better learning gains when given an advance organizer i.e. a set of principles that provide a cognitive structure to guide incorporation of new knowledge
- 23. Strategies • Create a concept map to analyze your own knowledge organization • Provide S with the organizational structure of the course • Explicitly share the organization of each lecture, lab or discussion • Explicitly highlight deep features • Make connections among concepts explicit • Ask S to draw a concept map to expose their knowledge organizations • Monitor S work for problems in their knowledge organizations
- 24. Principle 3: Motivation Students’ motivation generates, directs and sustains what they do to learn
- 25. Motivation determined by: 1. Subjective value of a goal 2. Expectancies or expectations for successful attainment of that goal Source HLW Fig 3.1
- 26. Value of a goal • Attainment value: satisfaction from mastery and accomplishment • Intrinsic value: satisfaction from simply doing the task • Instrumental value: degree to which an activity or goal helps to achieve another (e.g. praise, financial reward)
- 27. Expectancies • Positive outcome expectancies: People are motivated to pursue goals and outcomes that they believe they can successfully achieve • Efficacy expectancies: belief that one is capable of identifying, organizing, initiating and executing a course of action that will bring about a desired outcome
- 28. Expectancies determined by • Prior experience • Attribution of success or failure to internal /controllable causes (more likely to expect future success) • Attribution of success or failure to external/uncontrollable causes (less likely to expect future success) • Supportive environment
- 29. Strategies to establish value • Connect the material to S interests • Provide authentic, real-world tasks • Share relevance to S current academic lives • Demonstrate the relevance of higher-level skills to S future professional lives • Identify and reward what you value • Show your own passion and enthusiasm for the discipline
- 30. Strategies that help build positive expectancies • Ensure alignment of objectives, assessments and instructional strategies • Create assignments that provide the approp. level of challenge • Provide early success opportunities • Articulate your expectations • Provide rubrics • Provide targeted feedback • Describe effective study strategies
- 31. A case study PeerWise in PHAS 101
- 32. • Web-based Multiple Choice Question repository built by students • Students: – develop new questions with associated explanations – answer existing questions and rate them for quality and difficulty – take part in discussions – can follow other authors peerwise.cs.auckland.ac.nz

- Students are not blank slates. As they bring prior knowledge to bear it influences how they filter and learnIf robust, accurate and activated, it provides a strong foundation. If inert, insufficient or innacurate it can hinder learning2. We naturally make connections between pieces. Accurate and appopriated organized, can held with retrieval and application. Conversely, innaccurate or filed randomly, students can fail to retrieve and or apply it. 3. Uni life gives greater autonomy. What, where, when and how to studeny. Motivation plays a guiding rtole in determining intensity, persistence and quality of learning behaviours. When students find value in a learning task, and expect to achieve it, and perceive a supportive environment, they are liely to be strongly motivated to learn4. Not just component skills, but practice putting them together for fluency. Know when and hopw to apply these skills.
- Learning fostered when students practice towards a goal, with an appropriate level of challenge and oftenenough and ogften. Practice with feedback towards target. Time and frequency that make it useful. Intellectual plus social and emotional dimensions. Climate we create has far reeaching implications for all students. Learn to monitor, error-check and control their learning, evaluate strengths and weaknesses. Monitoring progress. Doesn’t come naturally but are habits of experts.
- Experts create and maintain a network of facts, concepts,procedurres and relationships. Often do it subconsciously. Organize knowledge aroind meaningful features and principlesNovices oftem lack a significantly coherent organized representation of material and their learning is impeded as a result of it.

- Aside from this being a very creative question, with a great diagram, and a good spread of answers it is also a nice example of peer-tutoringThe author wrote the question and got the calculation wrong in the first version of the questionThis was picked up on, and corrected by, another student the same evening, and the version of the question replaced with the peer’s correct explanation We also placed one of the student generated questions on the exam (not this one).
- This is typical of questions submitted by the highest performing students Focussed on quantitative problemsolving* Amusing context * Great care and attention with diags and maths The 4 images show question solutions sketch Solution maths Comment and author’s response.
