Presentation Transcript

  1. Finding the Relevance of Dimensions of Learning (DOL)

  2. Habits of Mind (Dimension 5) • Persistence  • Managing Impulsivity • Listening with Empathy and Understanding • Metacognition • Striving for Accuracy • Applying Past Knowledge • Questioning and Posing Problems • Thinking and Communicating with Clarity and Precision • Gathering Data Through All Senses • Creating, Imagining & Innovating • Responding With Wonderment and Awe • Taking Responsible Risks • Finding Humour • Thinking Interdependently • Remaining Open to Continuous Learning

  3. Looking for the Relevance of DOL • Employment after school • Skills required to gain particular jobs

  4. Your Task: • Find general skills/attributes that are required to gain a job e.g. excellent communication skills • You may use any of the jobs provided in your newspaper • Write down at least 5 skills/attributes

  5. Inspiration – Your Results • Match fairly closely to the Habits of Mind

  6. One Step Further

  7. Year 9 Results Do you think it would be a good idea to improve on these skills while at school? Why? • “they are skills that you need in later life” • “so later in life I can do better in these skills” • “because it will help me in future years when I’m in my own job or in everday life” • “while I can, before it’s too late” • “because when I get out of school it will be a lot harder to fix these problems” • “because it’s preventing me from doing my best”

  8. Conclusions • Even Year 9 students can relate to DOL when they see the relevance • Helps students to see why we are trying to teach them these skills • Helps start students thinking about their learning (metacognition) • Acts as basis – next time: • investigate a famous person and look at what skills/attributes they had • when discussing their assignment or scientific report, relate back to the importance of communication skills
