Presentation Outline ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What does “contextualize assignments” mean? Telling students “why” they are doing a given assignment Bringing awareness to the several dimensions to this Separating the “how to” from the “why”
Terms “ Contextualize“ - situating  “ Explicit contextualization” – distinct from “how to” “ Assignment” - a learning task “ Content domain-centered ” vs. “learning-centered” – focus is the learning experience
Limits of presentation Not talking about rubrics (marking guides) - necessary but not sufficient Not talking about feedback – actually this contextualization is part of feedback

Notas del editor

  1. The consensus is that “spoon-feeding” makes students into passive recipients of information. I’ve heard academics say the kind of contextualization I’m proposing here amounts to spoon-feeding. My intention is quite different however.
