Module 3 Reflections
Learning more about learning.... This week we encountered some good information about learning guides and I particularly began working on my syllabus for HHP 300. While I was working on it, I particularly found the syllabus development guides and examples particularly helpful. I had previously appreciated the online checklist that we covered in class and knowing that we have similar checklists here at Dordt is much appreciated. While I was completing the syllabus, I kept in mind the learning guides that I plan on developing for each module. Things are beginning to take shape! I am really finding this course interesting and believe I will go into future courses with more intentionality on how to best teach. I especially appreciate Bloom's Taxonomy as well. This is something I have heard referenced, but I do not believe I had ever seen. I really appreciate the action verbs that are provided and plan on using this resource in my instruction of future courses.

Aaron,
ReplyDeleteYour post almost screams to Bloom's taxonomy's highest level of proficiency in this way: "Look, I'm teaching my football players to evaluate game situations in such a way that they can creatively come up with the best move possible."
I'm not very familiar with football, I've played soccer all my life, but is that the kind of situation your players can solve on their own, or is there a coach who tells them in their earpiece what kind of decision to take? If that is so, this means they'll have to be very creative in their decision-making.
Leendert,
ReplyDeleteDecision making is important for football players, but it is not critical for everyone. In football, the quarterback is the one who has the biggest role in decision making while everyone else is recalling knowledge of what their assignment is to do on the play that the coach calls. While there are moving parts, in almost all cases assignments have been drilled to cover those situations so it is not up to the player to decide what to do, more so to do what has been instructed. I would compare it closer to mathematics, in which there is a correct answer. I imagine soccer is more fluid, with less set plays so therefore places more decision making into the hands of the players. I think basketball splits the difference and football is on the other end of the spectrum.
I had a similar experience with Bloom's Taxanomy and the action verb list. I'd been using many pieces of it but hadn't had it wrapped up in a nice neat diagram. Really gives validity to what we are doing as well as some helpful tips on how to sharpen what things we as teachers wanted to accomplish in the classroom, and drives home the actual goal in a concise manner.
