Using Technology To Solve Problems
Technological advances support progress because they remove barriers to traditionally difficult tasks.
What are the primary teaching/learning problems that you see technology helping you overcome? How does technology allow you to teach better and allow students to learn more effectively?
![Page 11: Student Learning II: Case Studies, Problem-Based Learning and the 3 Ps Ben Scholars Institute December 8, 2006](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0151a28abf838ccda65/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Activity Structure
• Groups of 3 (heterogeneous)• 3 minutes on individual brainstorming• 5 minutes on group brainstorming
(not serial presentation)• 5 minutes on collaborative production of a
representation of your ideas• 3 minutes on individual reflection• Sharing

Task
Represent your “model” of the teaching/learning process and indicate ways that uses of technology can contribute to student understanding.
![Page 13: Student Learning II: Case Studies, Problem-Based Learning and the 3 Ps Ben Scholars Institute December 8, 2006](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0151a28abf838ccda65/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Technology supports pedagogical strategies.
Pedagogy reflects our assumptions about teaching and learning.
Thus - if we don’t revisit our assumptions about teaching and learning it is very different to update our pedagogy.

Establishing a Problem Space
Creating problem spaces that provide a rich context for using bioinformatics data and tools allows students to focus on using their understanding of biology to investigate meaningful questions.

Investigative Cases
• Opportunities to engage students with applications of biological knowledge
• A variety of format exist for structuring tasks and providing information.
• They share several features including:– Contextualizing applications of knowledge– Provide multiple/flexible solution paths– Shift responsibility for learning to students

Technology is not a solutionTechnology is an amplifier
There is a danger that the integration of new technologies will further reify practices that have been shown to be ineffective.
![Page 20: Student Learning II: Case Studies, Problem-Based Learning and the 3 Ps Ben Scholars Institute December 8, 2006](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0151a28abf838ccda65/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Technology should be used to make learning easy and fun
We all learn to “code-switch” so that we can participate in multiple cultures. We have the responsibility of establishing the science classroom culture.
![Page 21: Student Learning II: Case Studies, Problem-Based Learning and the 3 Ps Ben Scholars Institute December 8, 2006](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0151a28abf838ccda65/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Technology makes it easier to present information in a way that students understand
The logic of disciplinary understanding that we have internalized is a rational reconstruction and does not necessarily represent the process of learning. It is a product of learning
![Page 22: Student Learning II: Case Studies, Problem-Based Learning and the 3 Ps Ben Scholars Institute December 8, 2006](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0151a28abf838ccda65/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Challenge for BEN:Balance the twin goals of providing easy access and transformative tools
One involves working within our existing assumptions and the other involves challenging them.
![Page 23: Student Learning II: Case Studies, Problem-Based Learning and the 3 Ps Ben Scholars Institute December 8, 2006](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051401/5697c0151a28abf838ccda65/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Take away points
Teaching for understanding involves explicitly addressing features of disciplinary practice.
Important features of disciplinary practices are tied to the details of making knowledge claims.
Technology itself does not shortcut the challenge of teaching for understanding.
Moving in this direction will require epistemological, methodological and ontological insights into the discipline (faculty and students).
