4. How I conduct
effective learning
experiences
•Brainstorming
•Total class
•Open discussion
•Cooperative learning
•Role playing
•Guided inquiry
•Problem solving
•Concept mapping
Interactive Instruction
Constructivism
Cognitivism
Indirect Instruction
Constructivism
Cognitivism
5. Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Representation, Action & Expression and Engagement
CAST (2011). Universal Design for Learning Guidelines version 2.0. Wakefield, MA: Author.
6. Social and
Emotional
Wellbeing
•Underpins the other four “petals”
of my framework
•Realise and understand fullest
potential and be able to fully
function as part of society
•If not addressed, can unfold into
later problems in learning
engagement and social
interactions with peers
•Strongly linked to cognitive
growth
•Promoting expectations and
beliefs that optimise motivation
connects to UDL
7. Formative
Assessment
•Need to generate
understanding of student
learning
•Allows opportunities to
adjust future learning
•Allows opportunities for
feedback
•Lack of formative
assessment affects self-efficacy
beliefs
•Encouraging formative
feedback and self-assessment
is an important
aspect of UDL
8. Authentic +
Discovery
Learning
Experiences
•Constructivist learning
environment
•John Dewey,, Jean Piaget, and
Lev Vygotsky
•Learning is connected to real-world
and is relevant to learners
•Hands-on and problem-solving
activities rather than knowledge
transfer
•Sustained investigation
•Making learning outcomes
authentic, communicating to real
audiences, and reflecting a
purpose links to UDL
9. Differentiation
•Flexibility in
• Learning content
• Resources
• Instruction
• Student output
• Assessment
•Learners have a variety of needs
and styles
•Front-load diversity
•Enables maximisation of students
capabilities
•Providing alternatives in
requirements , as well as physical
responses and interactions
connects concept to UDL
10. Will not always be able
to employ my
preferences for
cognitivism and
contructivism
Provide safe, supportive
environment to
maximise cognitive
abilities
11. Make educated
decisions on future
learning
Increase independence
and engagement
Cater for all individuals
