课程名称：非常规教学（Uncommon Sense Teaching） 课程概述：您的学生在学习上花费过多（或过少）时间，但却未能取得理想效果吗？他们是否因学习无趣而拖延学习，或因容易分心而难以专注？您是否希望使教学更加包容？《非常规教学》课程将为您提供实用的新见解，以帮助解决这些挑战及更多问题。这门课程与其他教学课程截然不同，它结合了神经科学的最新研究成果与课堂的个人体验，提供意想不到而又实用的新策略。您将学到如何在今天的多元教学环境中，引导每位学生的最佳表现，无论他们的能力范围如何。 《非常规教学》将提升您的教学水平，适用于您所教授的任何学科，无论是数学、物理、文学、舞蹈、艺术，还是K-12、高校、商业、职业教育或家庭教育。 现在就加入我们，迈入教育的新纪元吧！ 课程大纲： 1. 主动学习与所有人：本周的内容探索学习的深层本质，提供对教学的实用见解。学习时，学生的工作记忆中的想法将被送往新皮质的长期记忆。不同的工作记忆容量会影响学习效率和深度，因此分层教学是实现教学包容的关键。 2. 帮助大脑建立更好的学习链接：本周深入探讨大脑的两大“学习超级高速公路”，即陈述性和程序性学习。我们将了解如何通过强化学习策略和注意力管理来提高学习效果。 3. 实践、热情与拖延：本周聚焦学生学习中的常见问题——拖延症。我们将探讨有效的学习策略，如番茄工作法，帮助学生更好地专注和计划学习。 4. 人类大脑的进化及其对教学的意义：本周探讨儿童与成人学习方式的差异，了解大脑的成熟如何影响学习策略，并讨论如何更有效地教授难度较大的学习材料。 通过这一课程，您将获得关于如何通过科学依据改善教学的深刻洞见，为学生创造更加有效和愉快的学习体验。
Name:Active Learning for All
Description:This week’s material covers the deepest essence of how we learn—which can provide surprisingly helpful and practical insights for our teaching! When students are learning, ideas captured in students’ working memories are sent to long-term memory in the neocortex. One of our biggest challenges in learning is the diversity in size of learners’ working memory—that temporary holding place for new ideas we are thinking about. (We three instructors model these differences in working memory capacity, with Terry having high capacity, Barb low capacity, and Beth variable, depending on the material.) Some people can hold more information in working memory—these “racecar” learners might learn more quickly, but what they learn can go by in a blur—they can jump to conclusions and find it difficult to correct themselves when they make errors. “Hiker” learners with lesser capacity working memory may learn more slowly, but they can learn more deeply, and sometimes more creatively, as a consequence. They can also find it easier to be flexible and change their thinking when they are wrong. What this all means is that the different sizes of working memory can have their advantages and disadvantages. Scaffolded instruction is a key to being more inclusive, so we can reach all of our learners, not just the few who are easy to teach. We will also take a fresh view of active learning—those words, as you will discover, do not always mean what you think they mean!
Name:Helping the Brain Build Better Links for Learning
Description:This week, we'll dive into the brain's two major "superhighways" of learning. The declarative pathway wends its way through the hippocampus and onto the neocortex. This pathway is for new information students are trying to figure out or learn. A tiny, fun, metaphorical choir will help you better understand how the hippocampus (a glib character named Hip!), the neocortex (a capacious singer named Neo), and working memory (the Conductor) all interact to help students learn declaratively. And you'll learn how Beth used this type of learning, along with the underlying, all-important consolidation processes—to help her recover her ability to read the words she can now speak so eloquently. The more mysterious procedural pathway involves information, skills, or activities that we use or do so often that we don't want to have to waste cognitive resources in having to think about them. Think that drill means kill? Think again—we teachers ignore the value of the procedural pathway at our peril. As we'll discover, smartly done drill leads to skill! We'll also cover important issues related to lack of focus, including task switching, dual tasking, and continuous partial attention. But unrelenting focus isn't always the answer—as we'll see, there are tricks to help students get around the cognitive fixation that can cause them so many problems on tests. Finally, we'll show how using a neural approach to understanding the effects of your teaching can also help you to understand the value of seemingly unrelated ideas and approaches like physical exercise, and of metaphor, when it learning. It's going to be a fun, action-packed week!
Name:Practice, Passion, and Procrastination
Description:This week, we dive into one of students' most common issues with their studies—procrastination. A common tool for business, the Pomodoro Technique, turns out to be also useful to help students of all ages focus their meditation. This is because the Pomodoro Technique makes masterful use of the brain's focusing and relaxing modes of thinking. Judicious focusing and relaxing of one's thoughts is also a great way to figure out difficult or frustrating concepts or problems. But when it comes to studying, it's important not only to focus and relax, but also to step back and look at the big picture of where the studies are headed. Is the common career advice for students to "follow your passion" always the best advice? And there are other bigger picture issues related to learning to help ensure our students approach their studies, projects, and tests with the best possible attitude and preparation
Name:How Human Brains Evolved—and Why This Matters for your Teaching
Description:Do children learn differently than adults? Yes they do, and this week's insights show us how our brains change as we mature. These changes mean that certain approaches that work great for our youngest students aren't necessarily appropriate for middle and high school students. Looking at learning from an evolutionary perspective helps us to understand why some types of learning are natural and easy, while other forms can be far more difficult. What are some of the best ways to tackle teaching the more-difficult-to-learn material? That's what this culminating week of our first MOOC in the Uncommon Sense Teaching Specialization is all about!
Do your students spend too much (or too little) time learning, with disappointing results? Do they procrastinate in their study because it’s boring and they’re easily distracted? Are you working to make your teaching even more inclusive? Uncommon Sense Teaching will give you practical new insights that will help you solve these goals and challenges, and many more. This is like no other course on teaching—it weaves late-breaking insights from neuroscience with personal insights from the classroom to provide unexpected, yet practical, new approaches. You’ll discover how to bring out the best from all your students in today’s diverse teaching environment, where students often have a wide range of abilities. Uncommon Sense Teaching will take your teaching to a higher level for whatever subjects you teach, whether math, physics, literature, dance, art, or anything else; and whether you are teaching K-12, university, business, vocational, or at home. Join us today to move into the new era of education!
