Novel research-based pedagogy developed at ERC:

Education to empower learnerswith a profile for

success in life

( school/university and workplace)

In both student & teacher education:

Big picture within and across disciplines: Depth-breadth balance / Less is more in Episteme

Critical Habits of Mind: Skills & Dispositions

Concentrate on Patterns & representative Systems

Cross-disciplinary epistemic & cognitive taxonomy

In both student & teacher education:

Preparation for lifelong education

Mediated, experiential learning

Authentic assessment for meaningful learning, not assessment of rote learning

System: Bohr’s model of the atom Benchmarks Learning Outcomes

ScopeDomain Hydrogen atom and hydrogen-like (or hydrogenic) ions.

Function Description and explanation of certain, but not other, aspects of a single electron bound on a circular orbit.

Structure

CompositionA nucleus with one (hydrogen) proton or more (hydrogenic ions), and a single electron. Properties of interest include mass and charge of these entities, and state properties of the electron (e.g. velocity).

Internal Structure

Interaction between the nucleus and the electron partially represented by a central (binding) Coulomb force exerted by the proton(s) in the nucleus on the electron.

External Structure

Interaction between the atom in question and other neighboring atoms (molecular structure), or other types of environment (e.g., electromagnetic field).

Engagement:

Core-engagementWithin fields of study

Eco-engagementWith others & environment, at school & outside

Meta-engagementSelf-management & learning how to learn

1. Initiation / Early awareness:Know that a system (physical or conceptual) exists, but know nothing about it, and cannot use it

2. Gestation / Recognition:Partially know the scope and structure of the system, and use it in limited, familiar situations (individual HoM’s)

3. Replication / Comprehension:Know the scope and structure of the system, and use it in familiar or similar situations (HoM & Engagement)

4. Innovation / Understanding:Know the scope and structure of the system, and creatively use it in novel situations

International Arab Baccalaureate:

School-based program, Grades 10-12 / K-12

Deployed with existing curricula for enrichment & to bring harmony within diversity

Monitoring individual students’ profile history Relief from exit exams’ nightmare

Capacity building of teachers

Partnership / Ownership spirit

More than an item bank:

Robust but user-friendly, flexible engine & content

Uniformity of design & deployment of items and assessments

Various forms and types of assessment

On-line, on-demand, on-paper

Continuous monitoring & processing of all data

Respects ITC standards and others’

IAB 2010 Pilot:

Teachers at participating schools change practice

5 students ranked, for the first time, in one’s school history, among top 10 on national exams

Correlation between IAB and national exit exams:

Between .60 and .80 in individual fields .63 on cumulative scores in all fields
