Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire: Robot Teachers
http://annekemajors.blogspot.com/2010/03/robot-teachers.html
Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Class notes: where have we gone with this 2 sigma question. What I want to know is: are computers really the answer? Do we believe that? It seems that's where all the research has gone ever since Bloom's 1984 article - we automatically assumed "Well, that's easy. We'll make robot teachers.". Which means, of course, that the science fiction authors were all right! Do you like my disturbingly gross over-simplifications? Robot teachers, right?

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Monday, November 10, 2008. I attended the UFLA (Utah Foreign Language Association) conference last Thursday and one of the workshops discussed online tools for foreign language teachers. There was some fantastic stuff available. If I get more time, I'll discuss some of the others but one of my favorites was classtools.net. Click here for full screen version.

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Tuesday, April 13, 2010. 2 Sigma in Summary. Today one of the guys from my apartment complex made the mistake of walking with me on my way to campus. No, that wasn't the mistake. The mistake was when he asked me "So, I have a question about pedagogy in general. How do you balance the needs of an individual learner with the needs of our programs and the demands of giving everyone a free public education? To accommodate mastery learning systems? There is a fundamental di...

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire: Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development and Immigration
http://annekemajors.blogspot.com/2011/06/kohlbergs-theory-of-moral-development.html
Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development and Immigration. This term I've been teaching my last-ever section of Educational Psychology. It's a bittersweet feeling, because I love this class and I love my students and I'm sad to see it come to an end but I'm happy to see what we have achieved together. Stages 1 and 2 - Preconventional. Her question was, basically, "Have you progressed past Kohlberg's preconventional level of moral reasoning yet?

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire: What's Actually Happening in a Tutoring Environment?

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Tuesday, January 26, 2010. What's Actually Happening in a Tutoring Environment? So, given that we're wanting to simulate human one-on-one tutoring, or get as close as we can to it to achieve the 2-sigma effect, what is it about the tutoring experience, exactly, that we want to replicate? So far, the Chi article has been the most compelling for me. Chi, Michelene et al (2001). Learning from Human Tutoring. Cognitive Science. 25, 471-533 ( Here's a link to the PDF. I fou...

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Designing in a studio environment - notes and reactions. Four characteristics of a studio education:. 1 Studio space itself. Work spaces, work surfaces - not organized towards a lecture setting. Can be difficult to hold a discussion or lecture in this space. Space is available to students 24/7 - each student owns his own space. More time is required - a 3 credit hour class requires 6 hours in studio classes a week. Because the opportunity t...

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Notes from Wednesday's seminar - Dr. Rich. 1949: Our field started as a result of WWII - the education standardization movement (Ralph Tyler). 1983: "A Nation at Risk" - a back-to-basics movement. 1995: TIMSS - found that the US was lagging - pushed forward No Child Left Behind. 2003: PISA - another study on science and mathematics - the US wasn't as bad as we thought, but not great. Non-sister languages: even more studies show that it help...

Rêveries d'une étudiante solitaire. Wednesday, September 16, 2009. The anthropology of Youtube. What is Web 2.0 and what does it mean for us, not only in education but in society? Anthropologist Michael Wesch tells us. This is an hour-long documentary, but it's fascinating. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. I was just talking with a colleague about long, boring classes. What's the answer to three-hour class periods? Are they just too long, or is there an effective way to handle them? What would that be like?
