Student-centered learning (Cohort 12) by Andrés Irribarra https://padlet.com/airribarra5/cohort12studentcenteredlearning en-us 2021-09-17 00:02:21 UTC 2025-10-14 14:21:25 UTC hello@padlet.com The Benefits of Physical Activity on the Learner reginaharbin https://padlet.com/airribarra5/cohort12studentcenteredlearning/wish/1750673489 Student-centered approaches that include physical movement are a form of kinesthetic learning that can be very effective, especially when introducing new concepts.  Research has shown that movement creates more oxygen in the blood, which in turn, means that there is more oxygen brought to the brain.  This leads to a significant increase in learning.

Gallardo, Mayra (2016) 

Student-centered approaches or techniques that include physical movement as a central element


 Classroom physical activity benefits students by: 
• Improving their concentration and ability to stay on-task in the classroom.
 • Reducing disruptive behavior, such as fidgeting, in the classroom.
• Improving their motivation and engagement in the learning process.
 • Helping to improve their academic performance (higher grades and test scores).
• Increasing their amount of daily physical activity.

(Source 1) Differentiation directly supports two of those principles - personalization, and competency based.
Differentiation is a type of learning where instruction is adapted to meet the student's needs, preferences, and/or goals (Source 2). This can lead to personalized learning and can be focused on competency based, allowing students to practice the same content but in the ways and speeds that work for them.]]> 2021-09-18 23:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/airribarra5/cohort12studentcenteredlearning/wish/1750985027 References sadierhinesmithdemartinez https://padlet.com/airribarra5/cohort12studentcenteredlearning/wish/1750988650 Source 1 - Nellie Mae Education Foundation.

When creating classroom designs suited to enhance the educational experience of all learners, educators are focusing on cultivating student growth in creativity, collaboration, and communication. Along with the initiative for personalized learning, a core focus of modern classroom design is flexibility. Flexible classroom designs allow learners to make choices, experiment with learning techniques, and ultimately discover how they learn best. A flexible classroom layout also supplies teachers with a greater capacity to effectively respond to different students’ learning needs.

Flexible classrooms usually incorporate some type of group discussion area, a variety of seating options, and a flexible space, which can be adjusted for many specialized activities. With the central goal of providing the space for students to explore, share, and create collaboratively, flexible classroom arrangements provide the means for a variety of group set-ups and lesson formats in hopes of addressing all students’ needs.

1. Provide a Variety of Materials - give students option as to what tools or resources they use to learn the content!
2. Tiered Content - think about the needs of each student and tailor the content (this often means changing difficulty level)
3. Chunking  - teach students how to break something down into small parts and work with that "chunk" only

1. Use learning centers - these are activities centered around a common theme and practice skills in various ways. These can also be organized by interest and students can move throughout the different centers in different ways
2. Jigsaw -  break students into groups, then break the content into pieces, and let the students explore those pieces. Then send students into heterogenous groups so everyone can present their piece of the content.

2. Toolbox - students can create their own "toolbox", collecting strategies and skills they have learned over a unit and putting them together. (Original idea is to think of tools for self care but can be modified to other areas)

When we think about assessment this way, our learners are not at the center.

Instead, our goal is to build assessment-capable learners, a term coined by Michael Absolum et al.1

Students who are assessment-capable2:
  • are aware of their current level of understanding in a learning area.
  • understand their learning path and are confident enough to take on the challenge.
  • can select tools and resources to guide their learning.
  • seek feedback and recognize that errors are opportunities to learn.
  • monitor their own progress and adjust course as needed.
  • recognize what they’re learning and can teach others.

    Embed formative checks in your lessons!
    • Give students plenty of opportunities to practice. Use GoFormative to give students feedback on exit tickets, concept checks in the middle of your lessons, or longer practice assessments.
    • Make students reflect on the feedback after formative assessment: what are we doing next to achieve the learning targets?
    • Poll the class using Slido to gauge the perceived difficulty levels and progress.

    • timely
    • specific
    • understandable
    • actionable

    Leaving corrective feedback behind
    In order to foster our students' metacognitive skills, provide feedback that prompts students to reflect about their own work.4

    For instance, for a math problem, instead of saying "Incorrect; the correct answer was this or that", say "I can see that your procedure makes sense but there are some calculation errors. Can you see where? What are some ways you can check your work for accuracy?"

    You could...
    1. Allow students to co-create success criteria with you

    2. Allow students to create the assessment
    This is particularly applicable in a subject that is traditionally seen as rigid: mathematics. Let's think about exponential growth. Give students a story without a question, such as:

    The population of the comuna where our school is located has been growing by about 1% each year lately.

    Let the students ask the questions! They could ask:
    • What will the population be in 20 years if this trend continues?
    • If this trend continues, when will the population double?
    • How does this rate compare to the growth of another comuna, such as Santiago?
    • Will the two comunas ever have the same population?

    Have students answer their own questions!

    3. Ask students to modify a basic or boring question (take a standard multiple-choice question from a standardized test) to make it more interesting and open ended! Discuss the question in class, include as evidence of learning.

    4. Give students the opportunity to create new and challenging questions from standard, lower-level questions    . They could do this by using the situations, the diagrams, etc. Ask them to justify why this is a better question to serve as a success criterion for a learning target!

    Assessment becomes more student-centered when students are able to gauge their performance against known success criteria.5 Make sure that your learning targets are clear and that students understand what success looks like.

    • Ask students to rate their performance for a given criterion based on your feedback before providing a numerical grade.

    Give students space to assess their peers
    Students should be able to use the wisdom of their classmates to obtain feedback and act on it. In fact, research tells us students benefit from the feedback of their peers when their peers are trained to give high quality feedback!6
    • Discuss the learning targets and indicators of success with the students; teach them what success looks like, how to identify success, and how to guide someone towards it!
    • Make a formative assessment, ask students who voluntarily want to receive feedback from the class to expose their work. 
    • Engage in a whole-class discussion of the students' work with the purpose of making improvements. This removes layers of negative judgment and invites other students to seek feedback and not just receive it!

Instead, today we are asked to solve complex problems using a variety of sources and approaches, usually in teams.

    Inject realism into your assessments by:
    • Allowing collaborative answers for complex questions
    • Adding meaningful contexts to your assessments that inject realism to the assessment

    Example:
    Instead of asking a student to recall basic and isolated definitions of metabolism in biology, consider giving the student a situation like this7:

    Andrea and Luis are parents for the first time. Andrea had
    a complication so she had to be taken to the operating room immediately after delivery. Because of this, she has not been able to breastfeed the baby. The father is very worried,
    despite the fact that the doctor has told him that this is not a problem for the baby if s/he does not receive nutrients from outside sources during the first hours of life.

    – Explain to the father the biological mechanism that allows the baby to support its metabolic requirements.
    – After being breastfed, analyze the changes to the metabolism of this newborn.

    Allow your students to collaborate and be "doctors"!

    And to make the assessment even more student-centered...

    Giving students choice over the ways they can demonstrate their learning of the targets is linked to reduced stress and stronger development of higher-order thinking skills.8 The previous situation in biology lends itself to many different avenues of demonstrating learning. Students could:
    • Write a report
    • Make an infographic of the biological processes involved
    • Record a Khan-Academy style video
    • Make a presentation to class
