unit 2 ped107A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION LEARNING COMPETENCIES

1. G eneral statement that describes the use of desired knowledge, skills, behaviors and abilities. Competencies often define specific applied skills and knowledge that enables people to successfully perform specific functions in a work or educational setting. Some examples include: Learning Competencies

2. Functional competencies : Skills that are required to use on a daily or regular basis, such as cognitive, methodological, technological, and linguistic abilities. Interpersonal competencies : Oral, written and visual communication skills, as well as the ability to work effectively with diverse teams. Critical thinking competencies : The ability to reason effectively, use systems thinking and make judgments and decisions toward solving complex problems.

3. A statement that describes what a faculty member will cover in a course and what a course will have provided students. They are generally broader that student learning outcomes. Learning Objective

4. For example : “By the end of the course, students will use change theory to develop family-centered care within the context of nursing practice.” Learning Objectives determine what the course will have provided to the student. Both learning outcomes and learning objectives are used to gauge the effectiveness of a course.

5. LEARNING OUTCOMES: A specific statement that outlines the overall purpose or goal from participation in an educational activity.

6. Stem phrase- starter statement at the beginning of each learning outcome “students will be able to”. Action verb that denotes the level of learning expected - such as understand, analyze, or evaluate. The final part is to write the application of that verb in context and describe the desired performance level, “write a report” or “provide three peers with feedback”. Outcome Statement Is : “Students will be able to locate, apply, and cite effective secondary sources in their essays”.

7. When setting up a college course, it's important to clearly define what students need to learn and achieve. This can be done by looking at the bigger program goals or by starting from the end result and working backward. No matter how it's done, it's essential for everyone to understand what needs to be learned and how to measure it. Writing Learning Objectives, Competencies, and Outcomes

8. Characteristics of Objectives Learning objectives describe the measurable skills, abilities, knowledge, or values that students should be able to do or demonstrate as a result of a completing a program of study, a course, or lesson. Learning objectives are student-centered rather than teacher-centered, in that they describe what the students will do, not what the instructor will teach.

9. Articulating learning objectives for students is a valuable part of the students' learning experience. This is especially critical to the development of online courses, where instruction is broken into technology mediated forms of presentation, activity and assessment. Contents of online courses, or learning objects, should directly relate to the stated learning objectives.

10. As you consider learning objectives, you may answer the following three questions: What learning or transference of knowledge do you want to accomplish? How are you going to accomplish it? (What steps will you take to accomplish your objective? What activities will you do? How will students acquire the learning? Under what conditions will the learning occur)? How you will measure your objective? (What evidence will you have to demonstrate that learning has taken place? What criteria will be used to evaluate your evidence)?

11. THANK YOU!

12. If you inform students what is expected of them, and provide both instruction and an opportunity to apply the learning, this can help student achievement, and provide opportunities for assessment. For legal education, learning objectives can help students read dense texts and focus on the essential learning concepts. If you do not tell them what they will be expected to do, then they are left guessing what you want.
