Using Online Learning Resources To Promote Deeper Learning, Roger Bruning, Arthur I. Zygielbaum, Neal Grandgenett
Using Online Learning Resources To Promote Deeper Learning, Roger Bruning, Arthur I. Zygielbaum, Neal Grandgenett
Teacher Education Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
This paper describes research on four web-based learning applications that employ a variety of assessment approaches and student tracking and data aggregation mechanisms. These applications are aimed at promoting deeper learning in web-based learning applications and courses and at facilitating a research-based, design experiment approach to prototype development and improvement. Developmental research on two of these tools, Affinity Learning and Critical Thinking, is discussed in this paper. Affinity Learning uses database-driven software to capture the teaching skill of a master teacher. Students are guided through online activities and assessments in accord with their skills and rate of learning. When a …

Affinity Learning In Mathematics, Arthur I. Zygielbaum, Neal Grandgenett
Teacher Education Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
Teaching complex subjects such as mathematical modeling is intrinsically challenging. It is more so in a typical classroom setting. In this paper, we explore the use of technology to provide an electronic tutor that interacts with both teacher and student to provide a personalized and focused learning experience. Affinity Learning is an environment that captures the skills of a master teacher in a dynamic but simple technical embodiment and presents lessons and assessments online to a student. Initial results not only indicate that learning has occurred, but also distinguish male from female performance and give interesting insight into the learning …
Helping Elementary Education Majors Brush Up On Mathematical Modeling: Insights From A Field Test Of A New Online Learning Prototype, Neal Grandgenett, Arthur I. Zygielbaum, Elliott Ostler, Steve Hamersky, Bob Pawloski
Helping Elementary Education Majors Brush Up On Mathematical Modeling: Insights From A Field Test Of A New Online Learning Prototype, Neal Grandgenett, Arthur I. Zygielbaum, Elliott Ostler, Steve Hamersky, Bob Pawloski
Teacher Education Faculty Proceedings & Presentations
This paper describes insights related to the potential use of on-line training modules with elementary education pre-service teachers for enhancing their experience and background in mathematical modeling. These insights resulted from a field test of a new online learning prototype developed within a National Science Foundation Proof-of-Concept project. The insights listed in the paper are further supported by two URL addresses that link to detailed notes, background documents, and various demonstration pieces.
