Thrive 66 - Drawing from imagination

 Improvement to Coin-box project to provide opportunities for students to sketch from imagination. Training the sense of proportion.

By setting constraints that a square acrylic cannot be cut, the hole size is fixed, and zero-waste design (all cut-out material has to be reused). Can students imagine the possibility? 





A paper mock-up may be used as a scaffold in this case if the students cannot visualise.

2024 Thrive 8 - Low knowledge bases and a bad start?

I thought 2 I was bad, 2 Em is worse. They learned fast in the wrong way. When I withhold "scolding" due to the last-minute change in venue to cater to relief requirements, some of the girls see it as "it's ok to be late". The late-coming issue was responded to with "scolding" to make it clear that it is not acceptable. Should I not be spending time setting up administrative work for the first lesson but focus on what they will be doing and engage in reflection-on-actions specific to design and 5A? That can be the insulation phase of my study.  In my thesis, I compared organisation science with educational settings. An innovative culture in an organisation is built over time. Similarly, an innovative classroom will be the same. When students come with a poor attitude of epistemic agency, low value of collective responsibility and little or no dispositions to build knowledge. How am I going to start that? I share my reflection about the class progress i...

Adaptive thinking in Self-regulated Learning and Self-directed Learning

 How can we design SIL and use it to develop self-regulated learning? Strictly speaking, SIL develops self-directed learning and HBL nature self-directed learning. But I am not going to change that, given the programme is set. Rather, I will focus on adaptive thinking within SrL. Presented how adaptive thinking can frame SIL. I wonder how the design by YH can help students understand and discover their own passion and develop their skills rather than following what we asked them to do. I uploaded my sharing to GPT and asked for its insights to clarify what we want SIL for our students. https://chatgpt.com/share/67c406ca-7b58-8010-9af6-a9ce1fefc179 And the following trigger better alignments How Portfolios Can Support Adaptive Thinking in SIL Documenting Learning Actions Students can track their 10 learning actions (e.g., "I identified gaps by researching AI applications in design"). This aligns with SDL and SrL , showing how they set goals, monitor tasks, and seek feedback ....
