2024 Thrive 4 - Collaborative Challenge to replace safety briefing

Enculturation to KB and self-assessment 

In the first lesson, we usually brief students workshop's safety rules which a passive. It was turned into a challenge where students test their memorise skills and collaborative skills

In a 40-minute lesson, students are split into 2 groups (boys vs girls) to list 14 safety rules by looking at the big safety signage outside the studio.  They are supposed to memorise as many as possible. 

They were given 2 minutes to discuss how they could strategize to write the 14 rules out in sequences as far as possible.

 

Insights & improvement- 

All students went out to see the rules on the big signature for 2 minutes and came back to the whiteboard to write what they could remember is better than allowing them to go out and see again. This saves time. However, they have another chance to go out as a group and see again if they need to. 

Answer in the form worksheet should be given for self-marking. Reflection on how group work benefit them should be written

Reflection must be written right after the activity to see if students can remember the school rules and how they can better learn together.

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...
