Leadership collaboration and testing practise.(subject Business development and leadership)
In the left corner of this picture, we are trying a new way of learning and self testing by memorycard. We did it as a competition, where winning students of each team had a final duel, where the final winner got some extra points in the upcoming test as a bonus. The rest of the pictures shows an exercise of collaboration. The class was divided into two, each team equipped only with sissors, a few paper sheets and tape. The only information given to both teams was that the bridge should be able to carry a smartphone. Each group was responsible for making half of the bridge, communicating only via spokesmen. The goal was ofcourse to be able to put the two halfs into one, having the same width and stability. We did succeed :)- All of this can be seen as a way to involve more of practical studies into a heavy subject normally tought in a theroretical way.
Hello Annika Collaborative learning is one of the areas I get my students to embrace by presenting assessment items informally therefore learning from each other. I read some great assignments and now each student brings a new dimension to the classroom the link below is good for bloggers
ReplyDeleteCollaborative learning, as we are defining it here, is learning where learners not only take responsibility for their own learning but also for the learning of others. It involves the learner not only responding to their own ideas and experiences but also to the ideas and experiences of other learners.

Hello Nina, yes it's all about sharing. When sharing and teaching others you really show that you have understood and can display your knowledge to yourself and others. As your link shows us, collaboration doesn't have to take place physical in the classroom but on blogs (as we do now) and other network communities. Actually, our school has a kind of slogan when it comes to pedagogy, one of the words in that slogan is "sharing"
ReplyDeleteHello Annika did you think it was a pedagogic good training exercise?
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot! :)

Well Jonas, it really called for a talented multisaking teacher. So for the training of me, yes. For the training of them, I don't know.
