The Efficiency Model

A Learning Design

 

 

 

Top 10 Principles of the Efficiency Model

10.competent advisors 9.efficiency reward 8.high ideals 7.fair dealing 6. standard schedules 5.standardized operations 4.standard conditions 3.planning 2.Discipline 1.Common Sense

Top 10 Challenges to the Efficiency Model

10. Programmed instruction 9.teacher present, students listen 8. Learning is fact-centered 7.print is the primary source of all knowledge 6. Schools are isolated and separate from the rest of the community 5.stimulus-response learning 4. View knowledge as independent of learning 3. Focuses on what should be learned and not on learning goals 2. Learning is an individual process 1.Uses books as the primary source of information

Step One: Define a Learn Goal

The students will be able to find the slope of two points.

Step Two: State Objectives

When given two points and the slope formula, the student will be able to correctly calculate the slope of the two points.

Step Three: Sequence Instruction

1. Learn how to identify the coordinates of the two points. 2. Learn how to label the coordinates of the two points. 3. Learn how to substitute the labels into the slope formula. 4. Learn how to calculate the slope.

Step Four: Determine Learning Success

I will have the students to calculate the slope of several points. If they answer 80% correctly, they have met the goal. If not, then I will reteach the concepts and then have the students to find the slope of different points.

A Reflection and Critique of the Design

I find my self using the efficiency learning model to present instruction in my classroom. I believe this is because of habit and how I was taught.

Design Challenge 5

Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Designs for Problem-Solving

 

1. Memory can be developed and strengthened through regular exercise. 2. Short term memory is limited to seven elements. 3. By analyzing the similarities and differences between experiences, we extract the general characteristics of objects, events, and situations. 4. Anchored instruction allows the student to use their learned knowledge in the real world. 5. A problem centered curriculum is one that is built around the solution to a real world problem of interest. 6. Problem based learning gives students control over the process of learning new material and representing what they know. 7. Inert knowledge is knowledge that can usually be recalled when people are explicitly asked to do so but is not used spontaneously in problem solving even thought it is relevant. 8. Authentic activities provide the bridge from inert knowledge to entrance into the culture of practice.

Design Challenge 6

 

Designs for Literacy

Poor Richard's Thoughts on Literacy

1. The understanding of literacy is the understanding of meaning. 2. A literate individual can read and write his dreams. 3. Being literate is being understood by all. 4. Being literate is knowing the unknown. 5. Literacy instruction comprehends the problem. 6. Comprehending is a process whereas comprehension is a product. 7. Communicating effectively is communicating with symbols. 8. More technology less literacy.

Description of Literacy Concepts

The student will learn the concept of the b in the slope intercept form of the linear equation.

Content Standards Included/Addressed

Algebra 1 A.6.(C) investigate, describe, and predict the effects of changes in m and b on the graph of y = mx + b.

The ABCS of Activity

Authentic Activity: The students will solve the problem of selecting the most affordable cell phone plan. The students will obtain data from three cell phone companies of their choice and create a graphing on how much it will cost to have 500 anytime minutes verses 700 when their talk time is 1400 minutes. Building Knowledge Activity: The student will complete a practice worksheet on the y- intercept (b). Sharing Activity: The students will present to the class their findings in a PowerPoint presentation.

Tools

The student will use as tools the internet, a spreadsheet, a calculator and PowerPoint.

Final Project

 

Foundations

 

Literacy:

Symbolic Competence- The learner will learn how to read and write the symbols used to represent parallel and perpendicular. Cognitive process- The learner will complete questions comparing parallel and perpendicular lines.

 

 

Problem-Solving:

Strategies- Memory would be as a strategy for this instruction. The student will use their memory on how to find slope when given two points in order to find the slope of parallel and perpendicular lines. Authentic Anchored Problem - You are in an unfamiliar city with a dated map guiding you to your destination. The map directs you to start on Broadway Street, however you are on Main Street. The lines for Broadway Street are fuzzy. How would you determine if Main Street and Broadway Street are parallel, perpendicular or neither in order for you to start on the correct street?

 

 

Knowledge:

Disciplinary Structures- Finding the slope of a line is a major concept in Geometry. The slope of a line determines if two lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither. Disciplinary Processes- In order to find the slope of a line use the slope formula and two points on that line. Disciplinary Discourse- Narratives- Plot the two point and determine what the slope would be without using the formula. Expository- Once you find the slope of the line, check your answer for accuracy.

 

 

Using Information:

The information presented in this lesson uses the integrated approach. The students will use this information in the real world to determine if lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither in professions such as engineering, medicine and sports.

 

 

Community:

 

 

 

Activities

Authentic Activities:

To solve the problem the learner would do the thing map makers would do: find the coordinates of the two streets using a coordinate grid, find the slope of the two streets. To help students identify with and understand the central problem, they will: 1.Obtain a map that contains the two streets. 2.Create coordinates for the two streets using a coordinate grid. 3.Find two points on each street (line). 4.Find the slope of each street (line).

 

 

Background Building Activities:

As background building activities the students will have to list two parallel streets and two perpendicular streets in their city. The students will then use MapQuest to determine if their streets could be rearranged and still obtain the same directions.

 

 

Constructing Activities:

The student would apply their knowledge of parallel and perpendicular lines to identify shapes in geometry. They will determine if a shape is a parallelogram by using the slope of the lines.

 

 

Sharing Activities:

The learner will complete a project displaying parallel or perpendicular lines in the real world. They will demonstrate the lines are actually parallel or perpendicular by performing calculations. The learner will then logically justify why the lines are either parallel or perpendicular. The learner will present their project to the class.

Contents

Contents:

State TEK: G.7.C. The student is expected to use formulas involving length, slope and midpoint. G.7.B. The student use slopes and equations of lines to investigate geometric relationships, including parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and special segments of triangles and other polygons. Learning Objective: The learner will correctly calculate slope in order to determine if two lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither.
