Competency-based Curriculum #3

Individualized Learning Model

This is the Individualized Learning Model, proposed to me, Luis Augusto and Sheylla, in Mooc Individualized Learning course. Our model is composed of three phases: Student Support, Individual Study Plan and Learning. All of phase form a circle, a spiral, in witch the student is the center of the process. By teacher doing the Student Support, it is possible to know of students the learning expectations, specific needs, learning styles and prior knowledge. This is base to the individual study plan, made by the student, considering its own pace, needs and interests. The plan is base to learning of student, that is assessed to be supported by the teacher again, feed back the process.

Learning Environments #2 - Haaga Helia

While visiting the university of Haaga-Helia, they told the university, in the process of renovation, redesigned all thinking focused on education. Education was the center and focus even of architectural project. It was then designed to support and to improve education. Everything in physical space have a reason, a motivation to help behavior. For example, there are a lot of glass to give the idea of ​​transparency. It help to give life to the environment, when someone pass in the hall, people saw the movements and activities taking place inside the rooms. The glasses were placed for all to see, if realize. They designed narrow corridors to encourage personal contact. The intention is that people even strike. Often we rushed into the hall and not even realize our fellow students, etc.

There teachers share a teacher's room together, have a shared kitchen, have snack space, etc. The idea is that, if teachers should collaborate, interact and work together, it also has to be in physical space. The teacher's room is design to accommodate the teacher, so it is comfortable, and mainly has contact with co-workers. It can work together, at one table, or else go to a more private place, if he/she must produce more. Below is a video I made with Haaga-Helia pictures
