Description
Welcome to this course titled:Better Learning Teaching Support Material – WHY & HOW?You can read the course description below or listen to the promotion video, but I invite you to do one of the two or both.IMAGINE A CHILD THAT WENT THROUGH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC…The child is talking and you’re listening.What do you think the child is saying?Who is the child talking to?MAYBE THE CHILD IS SAYING…HELP US!To read and understand.To think and learn better.To get an education.To get jobs and earn an income.MAYBE THE CHILD IS TALKING TO YOU…So, on behalf of all school and adult learners all over the world… I urge you to stop and think.Educators, lecturers & trainersTutors & academic coachesCreators of online therapeutic or educational products & servicesStudents & adult learnersProfessionalsEmployersParentsOr any interested person.WE ALL HAVE ONE IMPORTANTANT THING IN COMMON.We have all experienced the COVID Pandemic.And we all have been affected in some or other way.BUT THE EFFECT OF THE PANDEMIC ON OUR CHILDREN IS NOT OVER!THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF…Articles about how COVID-19 has caused a global learning crisis.Reports discussing the impact of COVID-19 on Education.Research related to the effects of the pandemic on education.Statements that will be quoted, shared and tweeted for years to come.Alarming headlines, like:"Only 18% of grade 4 learners in South Africa can read for meaning" or "The percentage of Gr 4 children who can’t read for meaning in any one of the 11 official languages in South Africa has increased to 81% in 2021."Recommendations about what must be done to address the global education crisis, or the crisis in every country, like the crisis in South Africa.MOST OF US ARE NOT IN THE POSITION…To make policy decisions orTo create solutions on a national level.WE CAN… Blame and point fingers at the government or education departments.Seek professional help.Use the opportunity to create products or services to support desperate parents and their children.We can leave the country.ORWe can take initiative and be pro-active.We can help address the global education crisis by making it easier for learners to learn.BEFORE I TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THIS COURSE, LET’S LOOK AN IMPORTANT STUDY BY HOHN HATTIEJohn Hattie is a well know professor and researcher in education. He did a meta-analysis of more than 65 000 studies of student achievement. Together the studies involved close to a quarter of a billion students.Hattie listed the top 195 factors that influence learning. He then combined the data from all the studies and looked for common groupings of factors that influenced learning. Although this study was done a few years before the COVID Pandemic, we can still learn a lot from this study.Hattie’s work indicates that…50% of what predicts learning is how you approach studying. So, half of the learning depends on what the learner is doing.25%, the next largest single chunk of influence, is related to teacher qualities. In other words what the teachers do, their characteristics, their training , etc.5% can be attributed to peers.5% can be attributed to home factors.15% can be attributed to other smaller factors.I think these percentages might be different after the pandemic, but we can still use it as guidelines.Teachers probably now have a bigger role to play to support learners and help them to learn than before the pandemic.THERE IS ANOTHER THING WE HAVE IN COMMON…To a large extent a hidden problem.And this is what this course is about!SO LET ME GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE…The sections in this course can broadly be divided in 3 groupings or categories.The first few sections of the course will provide the background and give the context for this course titled – Better Learning Teaching Support Material (LTSM) – Why and how? The important hidden problem will become clearer through these sections.The next category of sections in the course will provide information related to the theoretical basis for this course.Understanding cognitive load theory, cognitive load effects and the importance of evidence-based and research-based learning strategies will be covered.The remainder of this course will cover strategies to create better Learning Teaching Support Material to improve readability, to prevent cognitive overload and to enhance learning.I AM ESTELLE BRETTENNY FROM CAPE TOWN IN SOUTH AFRICA…As an Occupational Therapist I have worked with older school learners and adult learners for decades and my clinical and hands-on experience empowers me to create courses like this one.You can look at the course biography for some more background information if needed.And please look at my other courses as they all complement each other.PLEASE JOIN ME & HELP OUR CHILDREN AND STUDENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD.LET’S MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO LEARN.
