Week 8

Explain what is a procedure knowledge.

Concepts and facts that affect/determine how you behave. Involve both mental and physical activiteis.

Ditto , principle knowledge.

Principles are making use of procedures, concepts and facts. Finding the link among them and using them for higher order tasks.

FACTS/Verbal Information : circle, shapes, geometry. (knowing what are circles etc)

Concepts: Circles different from square.

Procedures: Area of circles and squares.

Principle knowledge: (Pie R Square=area) Applying it on other kinds of shapes/problems. (Are these correct? pls correct me if i am wrong)

Distinguish procedure and principle learning.

Principle consists of procedures. Knowing how vs Knowing why.

State the key instructional events in teaching procedure (p. 193 - 195; 202).

Know WHEN the situation are appropriate for the procedure and those which are inappropriate.
Knowing of steps.
Introduce demonstration. (worked examples/whole to parts/parts to whole)
Let learners practice.
Mus feedback to them.

State the key instructional events in teaching principles (p. 206 - 207; 216).

State Principle.
When the principle applies.
Introduce variables, factors and provide illustrations and explanations.
Introduce context and conditions.
Provide practice and feedback.

Difficult to determine practice and provide feedback in E learning.
Maybe a solution could be to have them record/film their methods down for psychomotor skills like doing a certain stunt on a bicycle or folding paper cranes and have it posted on youtube and you(instructor) can evaluate that and provide feedback on that as well.

For our WebQuest we thought it wouldbe difficult to evaluate their performance and provide feedback as well. So we thought it would be appropriate to supply them a form of support and resource by having them post their success/failure(obviously we wont use the term failure since this might demotivate learners to share) stories on online platforms such as asynchronous forums to allow instructors to evaluate their performance and provide feedback. It also allows other learners of the WebQuest to know where they stand in the process and have a form of group cohesion to stimulate motivation to learn and create the 'I am not alone' mentality. Learning and applying to our particular WebQuest, since it has highly individual parts and is quite complex and also learners online have relatively short attention span so in conclusion we need to emphasis on the parts and I think we did just that by focusing on the Time and Date function.
