Independent Learning

Independent Learning

• Thinking about your thinking is important • Emotional Intelligence
EQ matters more than IQ
• `Emotional Intelligence is a master aptitude that profoundly affects all other abilities’ (Daniel Goleman 1996)
Developing Learning
• Government has extolled `lifelong learning’, which requires people to be independent thinkers
I find that whilst many 6th formers appear happy to work independently they generally have poorly developed research skills. Many seem to think that this consists of being directed to a resource and either cutting and pasting or re-writing information without any actual analysis or evaluation of either the source or content. In fact many appear to believe that it is the teacher’s job to provide any & all analysis for them and simply tell them what they need to write in their coursework/exam.

合作学习(cooperative learning)简述

合作学习(cooperative learning)简述

合作学习(cooperative learning)简述《国务院关于基础教育改革与发展的决定》中专门提及合作学习,指出“鼓励合作学习,促讲学生之间的相互交流、共同发展、促进师生教学相长”。

合作学习不仅能有效提升学生的学习成就和提高学生学习动机,而且更有助于培养学生尊重他人、清楚表达、理性沟通与人际关系等重要社会技巧与观念。

1发展历程在很早以前,人类对于学生学习中的互动与合作便已有所阐述,如:中国古代教育家孔子云“独学而无友,则孤陋而寡闻”。

进入二十世纪,有关合作学习的教学理论逐渐产生发展。

至于合作学习开始真正受到人们重视并实际应用在班级教学且有系统地发展成教学法,则是最近三十四年的事。

2概念及特点合作学习(cooperative learning)是指教师在教学时,依照学生不同的能力、性别等特质,将学生进行适当的异质分组,以进行各项学习的活动,并利用小组成员间的分工合作、互相分享经验和彼此支持等,再配合小组内的评核和组间的比赛,以增进学生学习效果培养学生人际关系并完成共同学习目标的一种教学方式。

因此,合作学习的主要特点有:①采异质性分组的小组学习方式。

②团体目标与个人绩效责任并重。

③重视并建立组员间的积极相互依赖。

④强调学生人际关系的培养。

⑤鼓励学生面对面的积极互动。

3类型至于在合作学习的类型上,至今已衍生出数十种不同的学习策略。

其中,以下列四种类型较为世人熟知,也较具代表性:3.1学生小组学习(Student Team Learning,简称STL)。

STL主要是由美国约翰霍普金斯大学的斯莱文教授及同事研发而成的一种教学模式。

以往约有超过半数以上的合作学习相关之实验研究,均以这种模式来进行,所以堪称为合作学习中的主要模式。

STL主要分成三种不同的教学设计:①学生小组成就区分(STAD);②小组游戏竞赛(TGT);③小组辅助个别化学习(TAI)。

虽然STL 分成多种不同的设计,但均以“小组奖励”、“个人绩效责任”和“成功的机会均等”三个主要概念为核心。

八年级下册英语那种学习方式对你最有效

Question: What method of learning works best for you?那种学习方式对你最有效?Answer:1. Independent learningThe method that works best for me is independent study. The most important skill any student should learn in college is to learn by him/ herself.When you study independently, you don't have to catch up with fast students and you don't have to wait for slow students. You can totally control your own speed of learning. So learning efficiency is very high.You can enjoy academic freedom by choosing the subject that you're interested in to learn. So you can be very absorbed in learning. And what's more, you are always making new discoveries. Isn't that exciting? And after you learn something without any outside help, the feeling of achievement is very strong. (114 Words)2. Lecture classWhen you go to a lecture class, you see a lot of new people, so your chances of making new friends increase. And since so many people are learning the same class, you know you're in the right place because not all people are wrong.The most obvious advantage of a lecture class is that there's a teacher. And this person is the engineer of the whole class.He or she has a clear objective in teaching and will improve the students learning efficiency by using a syllabus. So you find you learn very fast. (95 words)3. Lab class/class tripThe primary purpose of learning is to use our knowledge and to see our learning results in real life. So if you have a lab class or class trip, you can deepen your understanding of the new knowledge, you can consolidate such new information.When you do a lab experiment, you practice your theories and make sense of them. And when you go to a class trip, you can see the real figures in museums.Well, seeing is believing. This method makes learning more interesting and vivid . (87 words)4.Seminar/discussion classSeminars usually only have a limited number of people. So you can get the personal attention that you can't get at a lecture.You can ask questions and answer questions. This is healthy academic interaction . And when you discuss or debate with a classmate, you can exchange ideas, communicate information, and share learning experience.It's always a win-win situation. (59 words)。

情境学习理论

情境学习理论

情境学习理论情境学习(Situated learning)是由美国加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的让·莱夫(Jean Lave)教授和独立研究者爱丁纳·温格(Etienne Wenger)于1990年前后提出的一种学习方式。

中文名情景学习外文名Situated learning创立者让·莱夫和爱丁纳·温格创立时间情境学习理论认为,学习不仅仅是一个个体性的意义建构的心理过程,而更是一个社会性的、实践性的、以差异资源为中介的参与过程。

知识的意义连同学习者自身的意识与角色都是在学习者和学习情境的互动、学习者与学习者之间的互动过程生成的,因此学习情境的创设就致力于将学习者的身份和角色意识、完整的生活经验、以及认知性任务重新回归到真实的、融合的状态,由此力图解决传统学校学习的去自我、去情境的顽疾。

正是基于对知识的社会性和情境性的主张,情境学习理论告诉我们:学习的本质就是对话,在学习的过程中所经历的就是广泛的社会协商。

而“学习的快乐就是走向对话”。

简单说来,情境学习是指在要学习的知识、技能的应用情境中进行学习的方式。

也就是说,你要学习的东西将实际应用在什么情境中,那么你就应该在什么样的情境中学习这些东西。

“在哪里用,就在哪里学。

”譬如,你要学习做菜,就应该在厨房里学习,因为你以后炒菜就是在厨房里。

再如,你要学习讨价还价的技巧,就应该在实际的销售场合学习,因为这一技巧最终是用在销售场合的。

为什么要这样学习呢?因为在莱夫和温格看来,学习不能被简单地视为把抽象的、去情境化的知识从一个人传递给另外一个人;学习是一个社会性的过程,知识在这个过程中是由大家共同建构的;这样的学习总是处于一个特定的情境中,渗透在特定的社会和自然环境中。

在莱夫和温格1991年出版的代表作《情境学习:合法的边缘参与》(Situated Learning: legitimate peripheral participation)这本书中,他们提出了三个核心概念:一是实践共同体(community of practice),它所指的是由从事实际工作的人们组成的“圈子”,而新来者将进入这个圈子并试图从中获得这个圈子中的社会文化实践。

On Independent Learning

On Independent Learning

On Independent LearningCurrently, it is a common practice that independent learning is a necessary and essential quality for young people. On one hand, being independent will hone their abilities of industrious, ingenious and even motivated, which can build up their abilities on how to learn knowledge and put it into practice. On the other hand, being independent also means that they need to be risk to facing more obstacles by themselves.As far as we can see from the survey that thousands of college students aged between 20 and 25claimed that they have difficulty supporting t hemselves after independence. Learning independence makes them learn to be mature. For example, without any independ ent experience of being a sales man, how can a student-just graduated from a university and usually having learned only academic knowledge during his school time- know whether he is good at selling products. Besides, during this exploring process, yo ung people will become mature. It is important for young peop le to learn to be independent. There are two areas of independence. One is being independent in daily liv es. Because of the lower birth rate, many young people are single child and have been taken care of very well by parents and grandparents. However, time will come when they have to take care of their lives themselves. So it is important to start learning to be independent early on. Second area of independence is on the mind side. In the age of Internet, there are many voices and many opinions published online. Since young people are the biggest group on the web, it is important for them to learn how to think independently and critically so they can distinguish how to filter out harmful thoughts and suggestions.All above, I suggest that must to learn how to be independent, which needs the quality of facing unexpected difficulties.。

IntroductionMany students have trouble making the transition to the more independent learning required at university compared with their previous study. University study requires students to take responsibility for their own learning, to be more self-directed, to make decisions about what they will focus on and how much time they will spend on learning both inside and outside the classroom.This transition may be especially difficult for international students who may be used to more support and direction and even ‘parent-like’ relationships with their teachers at university. It will be useful for them (and all students) to know precisely how they are responsible for their learning in their new setting. This will require them to understand that they need to play a more active role in their own learning and will require greater self-motivation and organisation and greater self-awareness (metacognition) of their learning needs and behaviours.2. The main issues: getting started2.1 What is ‘independent learning’?As is the case with many terms commonly used in higher education learning, such as ‘critical thinking’,‘independent learning’ can mean different things to different people, in different disciplines and in different cultures. Therefore, it is important that this pivotal concept is explained to students so that they know what is required of them within their new context and discipline.Philip Candy, in the now classic text ‘Self-direction for lifelong learning’ (1991), quotes Forster (1972) to define independent learning/ study:1‘Independent study is a process, a method and a philosophy of education:in which a student acquires knowledge by his or her own efforts and develops the ability for inquiry and critical evaluation;2it includes freedom of choice in determining those objectives, within the limits of a given project or program and with the aid of a faculty adviser;3it requires freedom of process to carry out the objectives;4it places increased educational responsibility on the student for the achieving of objectives and for the value of the goals’.This definition clearly places the responsibility for learning in higher education on students, aided by teaching staff and defined by the limits and objectives of the programme.2.2 Differences across disciplinesMany international students may be surprised at how much work they are required to do ‘on their own’ outside of class and, in the absence of specific direction, may not be aware of their own responsibilities. They sometimes complain about the lack of direction generally in their courses. They may be surprised by the low contact hours in many courses, especially in the Humanities and Social Sciences. They may even interpret this as a lack of ‘value for money’ or a lack of interest and support from teachers or their department. It can be useful to spell out in course documents how many hours of work outside of the classroom are expected for each module or unit, and what precisely students are expected to do during this time.Contact hours and the level of autonomy required (or possible) vary considerably across discipline areas. Inmay be required to work on tasks and topics set for them right up to doctoral level, where students work in teams under the explicit direction of their supervisor. In the Humanities and Social Sciences, however, there can be much more autonomy in choosing learning and assignment tasks and topics even from the first year of study.2.3 Differences across culturesThe extent to which independent learning is culturally situated has been hotly debated in the literature. Some describe learners from particular cultures as passive and dependent learners (discussed in Kingston & Forland, 2008). Conversely, others are more positive, such as in a study on self-directed learning by Gieve and Clark (2005) in which Chinese students expressed as much appreciation of the benefits of autonomous learning as their EU counterparts. Interestingly, the current system-wide reform of education in China has as its top priority the development of ‘autonomous’ learners (which is perhaps a more accurate term to use) and is clearly an indication of the importance placed on this attribute for effective learning.It is important, however, to avoid making assumptions about individual students, especially where their home contexts are diverse and undergoing rapid change. International students are likely to be unsure about what is required in their new learning contexts and may at least initially seem to want to know the ‘correct’ methods and answers during this period of uncertainty, but they may be perfectly capable of ‘independence’ and autonomy.The apparently culturally determined dispositions of students in Gieve and Clark’s study were found to be‘flexible’ in the right (new) conditions. This resource will explore what these ‘right conditions’ might be; looking at the actions practitioners might take to enhance students’ independent learning.2.4 What are the challenges in encouraging more ‘independent learning’?This story from a colleague working in China illustrates some of the misunderstandings (in this case, linguistic) around the concept of independent learning:'Independent learning' was translated differently on a poster in a school I visited in China. They had borrowed our list of 'good learning behaviours' but had translated independent learning as 'learning on your own and not distracting or talking to others around you'.This point reinforces the need to be explicit about what precisely students are expected to do and achieve.Most adult learning theory (e.g. Freire, 1972; Knowles, 1990; Mezirow, 1991) and the concept of independent learning itself should be acknowledged as being predominantly ‘Western’. Trahar (2007) gives a personal and academic account of the implications of this on teaching in an international landscape including the potential for a lack of sensitivity to diversity, cultural inviolability and false universalism.Recognising this and using Forster’s (1972) definition of independent learning, it can be seen quite broadly to encompass a variety of situations and contexts where students are interpreting and scaffolding new knowledge and skills independently from those around them. However, this may include situations of group learning where activity may be collaborative and individual learning outcomes similar (or different) but each reached independently. Considered in this light, independent learning does not need to be seen only in terms of learning in ‘isolation’ but also within a community of learners.Certainly, independent learning is a term used frequently in higher education:‘Here, they (lecturers) all the time emphasise self-learning and self-directed learning. But how can we learn when there is no direction at all?’ (International student quoted in Welikala & Watkins, 2008).Here, we see how this concept, if not introduced and exemplified can be seen as confusing. No doubt, students accepted on to higher education courses are already successful learners (Forland, 2006) but in order to expand learners’ e xisting strategies to new contexts mutual effort is required from all participants to learn about and appreciate alternative approaches to learning (Jin & Cortazzi, 2006). The following sections identify some strategies practitioners have described as useful in their practice.3. Possible solutions: suggestions for action3.1 Setting the foundations for independent learning∙Talk to your students about their previous learning and teaching experiences.∙Find out their expectations of the course – how are they expecting to be taught, assessed and how do they expect to facilitate their own learning.∙Talk about your expectations (as a teacher, organiser and facilitator) and the requirements of the course∙Reach a shared understanding of these expectations (see sections on lectures, supervision).∙Talk about independent learning in the context of communities of learners and provide opportunities for developing study communities (through group work, tutor-organised study buddies, online discussion boards).∙The transition for students into new ways of learning can be supported by providing early formative assessment and plenty of opportunities for students to explore their learning with peers and teachers. 3.2 Ongoing support – evidence suggests that effective and inspiring teachers:∙Take time to develop a ‘meta-awareness’ of other cultures (Ryan & Louie, 2007).∙Give an overview of the subject matter so that learners have a framework within which to build their knowledge. Consideration given to internationalising the curriculum will pay dividends as an accessible curriculum will be more easily engaged with by students looking to become autonomous learners.∙Recommend multi-media resources for independent study including texts, audio, internet and video.In the case study linked from the download page for this section, Andrew Cree from Teesside University describes how to build screen-capture movies of teaching slides to allow students multi-media access to his teaching outside class; the additional audio track seemed to benefit students and resulted in reduced failure rates.∙Find ways to motivate students using culturally inclusive pedagogy. ‘Motivating International Students’ by Dolan & Macias (2009) has several suggestions for motivating students in the classroom e.g. beingwelcoming, responsive and explicit. Whilst not necessarily directly affecting students’ skills in independent learning, the connections made between teachers and students in the classroom can motivate students to learn outside the classroom.∙Encourage and build confidence especially in the early stages by providing opportunities for students to bring questions and observations to class which have arisen from their independent reading.∙Remind students of the various support systems available to them especially a few weeks after induction when this useful information may have been forgotten.∙Provide un-assessed opportunities to test out students’ independent learning with tasks set between classes.∙When appropriate, create situations where students can control aspects of classroom learning such as selecting a reading for critical analysis for the next class so that they can practise freedom of choice and objective-setting with peers.∙Gradually move over time from a role as teacher to that of a learning facilitator and teacher (Scharle & Szabó, 2000) as students become more confident independent learners.3.3 Tools for independent learning and self-organisation include:∙E-portfolios (collections of multimedia including text, images, audio, blogs) can be assembled by international students to demonstrate their learning over time (see Hill, 2009).∙Peer-mentoring schemes (UKCISA has a useful guide to setting up schemes, 2008).∙Study skills sessions (goal setting, time management, working to deadlines, self-appraisal, reading).∙Ongoing training in using online information. Crucial to independent learning are the skills and knowledge of effectively using online information. However, some international students find identifying databases and extracting resources difficult (Hughes, 2005). Ongoing support should be available both in the classroom and the library to help students use strategic approaches to finding the information they need, and in the right quantities by defining the scope of their searches.3.4 ConclusionsThe above suggestions are not meant to be prescriptive – you may read these knowing that some will not work in particular local contexts or that others may already have been used for decades to great effect in your department. Jin and Cortazzi (2006) and Kingston and Forland (2008) argue that, by whatever methods, focusing on independent learning should encourage lifelong learning. It should also contribute to a ‘cultural synergy’ where cultures are equally valued in the classroom, and the benefits for learning are reaped by all. 4.

Fostering Independent Learning in Kindergarten

Fostering Independent Learning in Kindergarten

Fostering Independent Learning inKindergartenIntroduction:In today's rapidly changing world, the ability to learn independently is becoming increasingly important. This is especially true for students in kindergarten who are just beginning their educational journey. By fostering independent learning in kindergarten, educators can empower young learners to take ownership of their education, develop critical thinking skills, and become lifelong learners. This article will explore various strategies and approaches that can be implemented to promote independent learning in kindergarten classrooms.I. Creating an Inquiry-Based Learning EnvironmentA. Encourage Curiosity:Kindergarten is a time when children are naturally curious about the world around them. Teachers can tap into this curiosity by providing hands-on experiences and opportunities for exploration. By asking open-ended questions and encouraging children to ask their own questions, educators can foster a sense of inquiry and a desire to seek answers independently.B. Provide Choice:Offering choices empowers kindergarteners to take ownership of their learning. Teachers can provide a variety of activities or projects related to a particular theme or topic. By allowing students to choose what interests them the most, they become more engaged learners and are more likely to take on a proactive role in their education.II. Developing Self-Regulation SkillsA. Teach Goal Setting:In order to become independent learners, kindergarteners need to learn how to set goals. Teachers can guide students in setting achievable goals for themselves, whether it's completing a puzzle, practicing writing their names, or mastering a particular skill. By helping students break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable goals, educators can instill a sense of accomplishment and motivate children to take charge of their own learning.B. Promote Self-Monitoring:Self-monitoring is a vital skill for independent learning. Educators can teach kindergarteners to reflect on their own progress and identify areas of improvement. By encouraging self-assessment and providing opportunities for self-reflection, students can learn how to evaluate their own work and make necessary adjustments. This skill allows children to take responsibility for their own learning and develop a growth mindset.III. Cultivating a Growth MindsetA. Embrace Mistakes and Setbacks:In a kindergarten classroom, it's crucial to create a safe and supportive environment where mistakes and setbacks are seen as an opportunity for growth. Teachers can encourage students to take risks and view mistakes as valuable learning experiences. By praising effort and perseverance rather than just the end result, educators help kindergarteners develop resilience and a desire to keep improving.B. Foster Collaboration:Collaborative learning experiences can greatly enhance independent learning skills. Teachers can create opportunities for kindergarteners to work together on projects or problem-solving tasks. By promoting teamwork and encouraging students to share ideas, they learn from one another and develop the ability to seek help or guidance when needed. Collaboration also builds essential social skills, such as communication and empathy.IV. Utilizing Technology for Independent LearningA. Integrate Educational Apps and Websites:In today's digital age, technology can be a valuable tool for encouraging independent learning. Kindergarten teachers can introduce educational apps and websites that provide interactive learning experiences. These resources can offer engaging activities, virtual field trips, and opportunities to explore various subjects independently. However, it is essential to carefully monitor and select age-appropriate content to ensure effective and safe use of technology in the classroom.B. Teach Digital Literacy:Alongside utilizing technology, it is crucial to teach kindergarteners digital literacy skills. Educators can introduce basic computer skills, internet safety guidelines, and responsible online behavior. By equipping students with these skills, they can navigate online resources independently and become critical consumers of digital information.Conclusion:Fostering independent learning in kindergarten is a crucial step towards empowering young learners to become self-directed, confident, and curious individuals. By creating an inquiry-based learning environment, developing self-regulation skills, cultivating a growth mindset, and utilizing technology, educators can effectively support the journey of kindergarten students towards lifelong learning. By nurturing independence from an early age, we can prepare our young learners to thrive in a world that values critical thinking, adaptability, and self-motivation.。

ICS教学模式的实践与探索

ICS教学模式的实践与探索

ICS教学模式的实践与探索作者:杨海娟来源:《天津教育·中》2020年第03期【摘要】本文在充分研究ICS教学模式的基础上,以“用PPT制作MV”一课为例,介绍将ICS教学模式应用到初中信息技术课堂的具体做法,旨在为广大一线教师的教学提供有效参考。

【关键词】ICS;教学模式;信息技术一、ICS教学模式界定ICS教学模式是指学生通过自主学习(Independent learning)、合作学习(Cooperation learning)与分享学习(Share learning)三步养成良好的学习习惯与学习能力,并逐步具备终生学习能力,以更好地适应未来社会的发展。

ICS教学模式将课堂分为三个部分。

自主学习(I)是课程实施的首要目标,学生通过自主学习逐步养成良好的自学习惯;合作学习(C)以小组为单位,教师作为组织者,利用课堂上各种动态因素,促进学生开展合作探究;分享学习(S)是指展示学习成果,以集体作为评价出发点,以达到预期目标。

这三部分看似相对独立实则紧密相连。

将ICS教学模式运用到初中信息技术课堂实践中,引导学生通过自主、合作、分享的学习方式,掌握自学的方法,锻炼合作的能力,培养分享的精神。

二、ICS课堂模式应用于课堂教学实践是检验真理的唯一标准。

一种课堂教学模式是否有效,最好的方法就是进行教学实践。

“用PPT制作MV”以“感受母爱,体验真情”为主线,通过营造氛围,导入情景自主学习,掌握基础合作学习,攻克难点——分享学习,巩固提升四步达成教学目标。

(一)营造氛围,情境导入教师在课间播放用PPT软件制作的母爱MV,营造氛围。

课上,用语言创设情境:“据说上帝不能无处不在,所以创造了妈妈,即便像我,已经做了妈妈,妈妈仍然是我的守护神,妈妈这个词,只是叫一叫,使触动心弦。

这节课,我们将使用PPT软件制作一段有关母爱的MV,再次感受母爱,体验真情。

”把学生带入到課堂氛围中,顺势让学生思考用PPT软件制作MV首先要做什么?学生基本都能说出“确定主题”。

q-learning公式解释

q-learning公式解释

q-learning公式解释
Q-learning是一种强化学习算法,用于训练智能体在与环境互
动中学习最优策略。

其核心概念是通过估计每个状态-动作对的价值
函数Q值来指导智能体的决策。

Q-learning算法的公式如下:
Q(s, a) = (1 α) Q(s, a) + α (r + γ max(Q(s',
a')))。

其中,Q(s, a)表示在状态s下执行动作a的价值函数,α是
学习率(0 < α <= 1),r是执行动作a后获得的即时奖励,γ是
折扣因子(0 < γ <= 1),s'是执行动作a后转移到的下一个状态,a'是在状态s'下选择的最优动作。

这个公式的意义是,智能体根据当前状态s执行动作a后,更
新Q值,使其逐渐逼近真实的最优价值函数。

其中,学习率α决定
了新学习到的信息对原有Q值的影响程度,即权衡新旧知识的重要性;即时奖励r和折扣因子γ则影响了智能体对未来奖励的重视程度,使其能够考虑长期利益。

通过不断迭代更新Q值,智能体可以
学习到最优策略,从而在与环境互动中获得最大的长期累积奖励。
