Three Questions

What am I learning today?

Why am I learning this?

How will I know that I

have learned it?

Surface

Deep

Surface Learning Versus Deep Learning

Surface learning: Learning

in order to reproduce;

learning the “signs”

Deep learning: Learning in

order to understand; learning

what the “signs” signify

Marton & Saljo, 1976

Surface Learning is IMPORTANT

How do you

know when

you’re done?

How do you

get help?

What are you

learning?

Ways to Facilitate Surface Learning

Leveraging prior knowledge (d=0.67)

Vocabulary techniques (sorts, word

cards, mnemonics, etc.) (d=0.67)

Reading Comprehension in Context

(d=0.60)

Wide reading on the topic under

study (d=0.42)

Summarizing (d=0.59)

Word card with Image Mnemonic

Fostering Collaboration

through Vocabulary

Steppingstones

Pairs arrange vocabulary in order

as it is used in a film,

demonstration, or lecture.

Retell using vocabulary to prompt

recall of content.

Steppingstones are then used for

written summary.

Deep Learning is Also Important

Ways to Facilitate Deep Learning

Concept mapping (d=0.60)

Discussion and questioning

(d=0.82)

Metacognitive strategies

(d=0.69)

Reciprocal teaching (d=0.74)

Asking Questions That Matter Funneling Questions

Limit Thinking

• What was the

setting of the

story?

• What is the

meaning of the

word confusing?

Focusing Questions

Expand Thinking

• How did the setting

influence the

story?

• Why do you believe

the author chose the

word confusing in

this passage?

Deep learning

approaches don’t

work any better at

developing surface

learning than

surface learning

strategies work to

develop deep

understanding.

Transfer

Ways to Facilitate Transfer

Reading across documents

to conceptually organize

(d=0.85)

Formal discussion, including

debates and Socratic

seminars (d=0.82)

Problem-solving teaching

(d=0.61)

Extended writing (d=0.43)

The right approach, at

the right time, for the

right type of learning.

Difficulty v. Complexity

Difficulty

• A measure of effort required to complete a task.

• In assessment, a function of how many people can complete the task correctly.

Complexity

• A measure of the thinking, action, or knowledge that is needed to complete the task.

• In assessment, how many different ways can the task be accomplished.

Which of these means about the

same as the word gauge?

a. balance

b. measure

c. select

d. warn

A car odometer registered 41,256.9 miles when a highway

sign warned of a detour 1,200 feet ahead. What will the

odometer read when the car reaches the detour? (5,280 feet

= 1 mile)

(a) 42,456.9

(b) 41,279.9

(c) 41,261.3

(d) 41,259.2

(e) 41,257.1

Teachers Can Determine Their Impact

Evidence for practice is foundational. “What research supports your practice?”

Evidence in practice is about process. It is locally produced data generated by practice. “What are the signals you watch for to make dynamic instructional decisions?”

Evidence of practice is about outcomes. It is user-reported evidence that the learner changed as a result. “How did you know your learners made progress?”

Evidence of Learning

Short-term

• Reading inventories

• Oral and silent reading fluency measures

• Benchmark assessments

• Pre-/post-testing of a unit of study

• RtI progress monitoring

Long-term

• State standards exams

• End-of-course exams

• Formal exhibitions with rubrics

• Formal recital performances with rubrics

Learning How to Determine

Effect Size for a Group

Effect size = Average (post-assessment) – Average (pre-assessment)

Average standard deviation or SD*

Learning How to Determine

Effect Size for Individuals

Effect size = Individual score (post-assessment) – Individual score (pre-assessment)

Average standard deviation or SD for the class

For example . . . .

On a “writing for argument” unit, the standard deviation

for the pre-assessment was .728 and the standard

deviation for the post-assessment was 1.013.

The average of the two is .870.

When the effect size is calculated using the formula

above, it comes to .77, above our threshold of .40.

The teachers concluded their efforts to improve students’

writing skills were successful.

Writing for argument: d = 0.77

Two teachers focused on improving students’ public

speaking skills. They collaborated on a series of lessons

that included focusing on prosody (e.g., intonation,

pauses, emphasis) and preparing and practicing

speeches. At one of their meetings, they compared

assessment results. Each teacher had submitted pre-

assessment scores and averages, and standard

deviations had been calculated. Six weeks later, they

collected benchmark data to make decisions about their

impact. During their discussion, they noted that their

effect size was only .30. As one of the teachers

commented, “They don’t seem to be getting

much better at this.”

Public speaking skills: d = 0.30

Adjustments to the Unit

• Analyzing video of effective and

ineffective public speakers

• Lessons about formal speeches

sounding like reading, not friendly

conversations

• Written drafts of speeches that included

introduction, body, and conclusion

• Anonymous peer review using

computerized program

When they met again six weeks later to

discuss impact, the results were

impressive. The average effect size

had increased to .75 and all but three

students had effect sizes that

exceeded .40.
