ERA: Engagement PrincipleThrough engagement Educational Robots can foster affirmative emotional states and social relationships that promote the creation of positive learning attitudes and environments, which improves the quality and depth of a students learning experience.

Learning IntentionsFocus on learning and not what students have to doThe childs perspective on what they are learningShould be negotiated with the students

The Teacher is a Facilitator

Good Intentions Bad Results

Messing Up Learning Intentions

About Learning IntentionsAssessment becomes formative when teachers use the evidence to adapt their teaching to meet student learning needs. Teachers lead formative assessment, but it is something students do. A narrow Learning Intention is not always enough to direct student learning. Creating a good Learning Intention is more craft than science. You need to make sure writing Learning Intentions does not become a dull routine. .

SummaryLesson Objectives relate to the curriculumEngage students before establishing Learning IntentionsHelp students to generate Learning Intentions Focus on learning not what-to-doUse effective questioning to develop Learning IntentionsTry and establish Learning Intentions at the start of the lessonIt is not always possible to set up a Learning Intention.Change the Learning Intentions if it improves learning

Conclusion

Engaging students through discussion and effective questioning is the best way to establish Learning Intentions and helps them take ownership of their learning. www.roamer-educational-robot.com
