This is the brief on the deeper learning principles.
So these principles, they came from scholars
Colleen Carmine and Jeremy Hafner way back in
2002. They suggested these five crucial properties,
you know, ways to shift learning from just passively
taking stuff in to really powerful student -driven
outcomes. The goal is helping learners actually
transfer skills and knowledge to totally new
situations. Pretty cool, right? Okay, so the
framework? It's built around making sure learning
tasks are social, active, contextual, engaging,
and student -centered. Those are the big five.
First, let's talk interaction and real -world
stuff. Social learning. Well, it needs good back
and forth between students and teachers, right?
And timely feedback is super important. Then
you've got active learning. This means problems
should come from real life. Things learners actually
have to put effort into solving. Finally, the
other three are really about relevance, motivation,
and ownership. Contextual learning builds on
what students already know, their experiences,
and, yeah, includes showing they understand the
new stuff. Engaging learning? That sparks from
their own curiosity, respects differences, and
it's challenging, sure, but in a good way, not
threatening. And then student -centered learning.
This is key. It means time for reflection. encouraging
students to think about their own thinking, you
know, metacognition, and taking an active role
in planning their learning. So for educators,
what's the takeaway? Aligning classrooms with
these principles really means adopting some dynamic
new ways to prepare and plan curriculum and instruction.
