Constructivist Learning Design by George W. Gagnon, Jr. and Michelle
Collay
This paper represents a collaborative effort of two teacher educators
to articulate a constructivist
approach to "designing for learning" rather than planning for teaching.
See our Constructivist Learning
Design Notes for a simplified version. Ongoing collaborative research
with teachers is presented in
our Constructivist Learning Design Study.
http://www.prainbow.com/cld/cldp.html
"How can I
get my students to think?" is a question asked by many faculty, regardless
of their disciplines. Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional
method that challenges students to "learn to learn," working cooperatively
in groups to seek solutions
to real world problems. These problems are used to engage students' curiosity
and initiate learning the subject
matter. PBL prepares students to think critically and analytically, and
to find and use appropriate learning resources.

Interest in Collaborative Learning continues to grow among higher education
faculty.
Numerous faculty and Teaching Assistants at UCSB are currently using
Collaborative
Learning approaches in courses, labs, and sections. The information
below is meant
to provide a basic introduction to this topic.

* This is a collection of more than 75 ideas for group activities. The
collection is divided into subject areas with the usual ones covered, but more
for language arts. Even if you don’t use the actual activities, they might
spark ideas for other things your students can do together.

* This is an article entitled The connection between cooperative learning
and assessment written by Marta Mangan-Lev. It appears on the website of the
System for Adult Basic Education Support (SABES), established by the Education
Department of the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The premise of the article is
that CL offers many opportunities to do authentic assessment. The article
begins with ideas on how to do CL.
