Empowering Student Learning by Cristiane Parente

About me

cristiane_parente — 2019-01-22 14:06:37 UTC

Hi!!! I´m teacher and journalist. With this Learning Diary I want to share some texts, tips, good practices and reflexions to improve student learning. I´m especially dedicated to Media Literacy.
The reflexions here were shared with some colleagues in the course "Yes, I Can - Empowering Student Learning", from European Schoolnet Academy.

#Tips
I want to share a wonderful experience I had with my young students. I set aside 5 minutes at the end of the class so that each student could presenting himself. Not just telling his name and age, as usually happens, but carrying books, songs, teaching the class something he knew. It is a wonderful experience. One day, a student who likes Metal explains what this type of music means to him. On another day, a student who likes Gospel takes that music into the classroom and tells how much he feels in peace with that sound. The next day we have a student playing guitar for the group, another reciting poems, etc. Day after day we know each other better. This intimacy allows us to agree a series of dealings that relate to behavior, faults, tests, and achieve a general commitment of the class in order to have a collective learning.
And it all happens because we are able to hear and understand each other, even if we do not like the same things.
This dialogical stance I learned with the great educator Paulo Freire and his incredible books, which I strongly recommend to everyone.

Media Literacy

cristiane_parente — 2019-01-24 02:01:31 UTC

I seek to encourage students on their formative path to be more critical, autonomous and creative in their relationship with the media, for example. I believe that today Media Literacy is urgent at all levels of education, in all countries and can be worked through by all disciplines, and in a formal, non-formal and informal way. Learning how to deal with the media, understandin that communication is a human right, better selecting information and knowing what to do with it is critical in a context with so many fake news and where social media and technologies influence our view of the world and change the relationship we have with others.

Problem-based learning and actives methodologies

cristiane_parente — 2019-01-24 02:27:28 UTC

I think that the problem-based learning method can be an interesting idea to make students more participatory, as well as other active methodologies and design thinking. I will always try to use these methods of dialogue and listening.
This also recalls the proposal of educator Paulo Freire, who encouraged the student (in his literacy process) to appropriate writing and word (speaking), so that he could better understand the world and conquer autonomy to transform the environment in which he lives. He started from the concept of generating words, words that made sense to students. In addition, we must use technology to bring students, teachers and the community closer together.

Dialogue x Manipulation

What kind of strategy do you use in the classroom?

Some goals in my process of learning and transformation. Which one are yours?

cristiane_parente — 2019-01-30 02:04:50 UTC

* To know new experiences of teaching and learning;
* Improve my fluency with the English language;
* Learn from colleagues in other countries to what extent culture influences actions in the classroom.

"Every kid has an interest"

cristiane_parente — 2019-01-30 02:16:11 UTC

"Every kid has an interest. Sometimes he doesn’t know what it is, sometimes he can’t articulate it. But every kid has an interest and that is a fundamental belief. It is not only about helping that kid identifying the interest but progress through that interest". (Diana Rhoten, Social Science Research Council)

What's is personalized learning?

cristiane_parente — 2019-01-30 02:39:29 UTC

The term personalised learning does not really make sense, because really all learning is personal. Personalised instruction is trying to imagine the greatest amount of ways that you can customise a curriculum to the abilities and the interests of the individual student. – Randy Bass, GeorgeTown University

You want the student to reach for more. You want to excite him or her to go home and go on the Internet and search for more information about XYZ. That to me is personalised learning. – Tahnja Wilson, Arizona State University

Personalised learning is learning that promotes and encourages both students and faculty to own and express their agency, to have more control and be more engaged in the decision-making processes. – David Wiley, Lumen Learning

One of the ways is actually paying attention to individual learners, to their knowledge, to their abilities, to their course through life, and that is what personalised learning is, really the entire enterprise of education on the individual learners. – Bryan Alexander, Bryan Alexander Consulting

It is about first identifying what a student needs – it could be academically, it could be in support services – and then being able to provide those kind of key interventions or outreach to that student. – Shannon Mccarty, Rio Salado College |

Personalised learning is that we can really tailor that learning experience to each individual learner. – Tristan Denley, Tenesse Board of Regents

Formative Assessment To Initiate Personalized Learning

cristiane_parente — 2019-02-02 17:26:20 UTC

How do I meet the unique needs of each individual student? How do I provide the exact lesson at just the right time for a class full of students whose knowledge varies greatly? Read the text bellow and think about some tips.

Think with me...

cristiane_parente — 2019-02-02 17:35:22 UTC

"A lot of the things that the teachers do as culminating activities at the end of the units are: just: "Show me what you learned", or, "Show me what I want you to know". But...Would not it be better if we did differently? As: "This is what I knew before we started, and this is what I´ve learned since then, nad this is how I can apply it to real life"

Do you know the difference between group work and collaborative learning?

cristiane_parente — 2019-02-11 04:16:31 UTC

Main objectives of collaborative learning

cristiane_parente — 2019-02-11 04:19:13 UTC

1. Promote the cognitive development of a group of learners through collaborative interaction;
2. To stimulate the development of students' expression, allowing them to better express their ideas, to justify their opinions, to argue and to debate;
3. Stimulate students' social development through the development of self-esteem and positive relationships with individuals who have different social and cultural backgrounds;
4. Stimulating problem solving, critical thinking and analysis, as well as facilitating the understanding of abstract concepts;
5. Enable learning through active experimentation, constructivist actions, and reflective group discourses;
6. Adopt the idea of learning as a lifelong activity and not the acquisition of a fixed set of knowledge. The student should be able to learn collaboratively and learn to learn;
7. Increase student motivation by contextualizing the learning process in real-world tasks.
