Watch it Work!
4.
Learning
Objectives
Set appropriate goals and objectives for
the learning activity.
You want to learn how to set the watch
to the correct time and date.
5.
Performance
Criteria
Determine specific desired outcomes
used to measure and gauge
performance.
Set the watch to the correct time and
date within five minutes.
6.
Vocabulary
Identify and learn key terminology.
Terms to know: functions, apps
7.
Information
Collect, read, and study appropriate
resources.
The operating instructions booklet
8.
Plan
Develop a plan of action to meet the
performance criteria.
Read instructions for three minutes.
Refer to the watch while reading
instructions. Set the time and date
according to the instructions and within
two minutes.
9.
Models
Study & review examples that assist
in meeting the learning objectives and
performance criteria.
The diagram and explanations of the
watch functions included with the
instructions
10.
Thinking
Critically
Pose and answer questions that
stimulate thought and promote
understanding.
Which function controls and keys
do what with the watch? Can I
automatically synch the watch? What
is the correct time and date? Is it a
12 or 24-hour watch function or can I
choose?
11.
Transfer/
Application
Transfer knowledge to different contexts;
apply knowledge in new situations.
You should be able to adjust and
change the time correctly in the case of
changing time zones or starting daylight
savings.
12.
Problem
Solving
Use knowledge in problem solving
situations.
The watch needs to be used as a timer
and as an alarm.
13.
Self-
assessment
Assess use of the learning process and
mastery of the material learned.
Are the time and date set correctly? Did
you meet the criteria?
14.
Research
Create and develop knowledge that is
new and unique.
Think about tailoring an app for keeping
multiple ‘time settings’ for frequent
travel across time zones.
Oops! Avoiding Common Errors
●
Doing Step 11 (applying knowledge) before Step 10 (critical thinking)
Example
: Watching an instructor solve a problem in class and not asking question(s) to clarify
your understanding and then doing all the homework problems exactly the same way
the instructor did
Why?
As soon as a homework problem varies at all from the classroom example, the learner
doesn’t know what to do because of his/her lack of understanding. This learner will
then spend large amounts of time making little progress and feeling frustrated.
