Thrive 14 - dialogic feedback about learning behavior

Term 1 week 10 ends off with the focus of changing the behaviour of a few students to changing the learning environment 

What had convinced me that my form class deserve better learning environment

L can meet me punctually at 6.50am in morning to do his D&T

K can zoom with me at 10.10 till 11.45pm at night to do his D&T, even after a failed attempt

J can focus after school at 2pm to finish his drawing

S can focus at 4.30 to finish his D&T

A, K, Q can meet me to finish their drawing 

As a result, they moved from a failed grade to a pass grade. This convinced me of two things

(1) They can learn in a good environment

(2) They want to do well

(3) Thus, they deserve more from me.

There is no trust in this class and indeed some had proven to be irresponsible during VIA padlet lesson. With pre-planning, collaboration started to improve

MOST important thing - THIS CLASS IS LOGICAL!

I started off with the class by talking to individuals to understand them and the issue, my understanding of SEN, inclusiveness started to take shape. 

I need to design feedback

2024 Thrive 3 - Self-evaluation of sketching using pen

First lesson with 2I (80-min) 20 pax (10 boys & 10 girls) - The use of Ideo video as a resource to test current students' design capability through reflection was not carried out. It is more of checking for understanding rather than facilitating self-reflecting as a class community. If I were to do it again, how can self-assessment be better embedded in the activity and facilitated? How to design a worksheet that embeds self-assessment? You see what we draw so we can improve our drawing - use a pen not pencil. In my research in 2018, it appears that student improves their sketching faster when they sketch with a pen. Why? they can't erase. They dare to explore  (1) Diagnostic assessment of sketching. Students at this age can identify if their observation sketch is accurate. When they are directed to evaluate their first attempt of sketching from observation using rules (isometric or perspective rule). All followed my instructions to improve. However, a 3 uses correction ta...

My reflection with AI about the STEM project

 I have just completed a STEM workshop with my students. I would like to reflect about this workshop to any of you. ChatGPT That sounds great, Joon Yong! How did the workshop go? What activities did you and your students work on, and what were some key moments or challenges you encountered? 4o We are working on building a chair using a cardboard. The requirement is to be able to withstand three kilos of weight, and also have a leg that is 15 cm long. However, based on my knowledge about knowledge building, I decided for them to make a wheelchair that the humans can sit on. ChatGPT It sounds like you extended the challenge to make it more engaging and relevant. How did your students respond to the new requirement of designing a wheelchair? Did they come up with any innovative ideas or encounter any specific difficulties? 4o Indeed, the outcome surprises us. Everyone is game to attempt, and all the groups have come up with a real-size chat at the end of the day. ChatGPT That's impres...
