Overview
Guidelines for Use Adaptation to the Discipline
|
This module is designed to accommodate a range of experience levels. For
those new to the experience of teaching and those who have not had the
benefit of formal instruction on college-level teaching, we recommend that
you follow the Concepts and skills, Assessing students’ learning of module
materials and skills, and Application of module concepts and skills
sections in sequence, reading the information and engaging in the
activities. More experienced instructors may wish to go directly to the
topic of primary interest by following the link indicated. Professors of college teaching courses may wish to copy sections of the module for use in their classes. The test that follows the concepts and skills section, in the assessment component of this module, for example, was created to not only give the reader an opportunity to assess his/her learning of the material, but also to serve as an exercise in test construction. Therefore, after members work on the test individually, group and/or class discussion is encouraged to clarify and reinforce concepts as well as enhance understanding. Likewise, the sample rubrics in the application section may serve as a model for students to construct their own rubrics related to the courses they are teaching; therefore, discussion on the use of rubrics in general and analysis of selected rubrics from the samples provided, is recommended. “Objectively Speaking”, the one hour instructional module on writing good objectives, is intended to be actively implemented, not merely read, since learning tends to be more effective when students are actively engaged with the material being presented. |
