Pedagogical principles

Active learning: higher grades, improved performance (Freeman, 2014)
Learner-content interaction
Learner-teacher interaction
Learner-learner interaction (Moore, 1989)
Shared and challenging goals Interdependent
Gamification: motivation, immediate feedback, ‘mastery’
Relatedness Authonomy
Competence
Self-efficacy (can I do it?) Impact on behaviour
Impact on mental models
Are at least 7 of these principles applied in your online/blended learning?
• Active learning (different forms of interaction)
• Collaborative learning (not only interactive learning)
• Principles of gamification
• Fostering motivation (relatedness, authonomy, competence)
• Scaffolding (gradually decreasing support)
• Fostering self-regulation
• Learning by observing
• Reflection (e.g. self-efficacy)
• Focus on performance, instead of learning
Examples
Large group intrinsic motivated Discussion assignments
Observing online behaviour (e.g. video) ‘Immediate’ feedback (live sessions)
Three forms of interaction Redesign course final assignment
(performance)
L&D: how can we use social media to enhance our work? Authonomy in themes
Workshops, QRC, newsletters, discussions, experiments, reflection
Changing behaviour (e.g. new approaches, new technology)
During event Small group
In pairs assignments (e.g. interviews, blogposts, twitter hunt,
brochure hunt) Basecamp
