I have reviewed the star legacy model for another class. I liked the model’s step by step approach. I also liked the idea of presenting a challenge. Finally, I liked the idea of having a capstone project.
For this course, the red team has chosen to use this model in our next project. As a member of the team I am excited. It also means I have taken a closer look at what the authors of the article have to say. It is interesting because I had the chance to reflect back on my initial thought of this model from the previous course I had taken. After having more graduate courses and maybe more life experience I have expanded my view of this model.
Here are some incorrect assumptions I made:
1. Assumption: This is a step by step process with no area for change.
After reviewing: In fact the authors came up with this model so that instructional designers, teachers, and learners could collaborate.
2. Assumption: Students need to complete a formal type of assessment.
After reviewing: The assessment could be in the form of essay or even more informal.
I am looking forward to learning even more about this model as we create our project!

Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI like your idea to clarify your misunderstanding here, it's the main point of this approach! I think it is important in teaching and learning that we need to give students chance to reflect back to correct misunderstandings as well as to see what they have learned! Even for us, teachers, we all need this process, I think we have to integrate it into our teaching, no matter which approach we use.

Rachel - I agree with Miya about clarifying your assumptions. I also think it's really cool that you've been able to return to the model after some life experience and education that help you better understand the information/approach. I think that reflection is really important - I often think about going back to review the models now that I've learned more - but of course with so much to do in life, re-visiting information never seems like a priority. I'm glad you got the opportunity to do so!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to talk my group into doing this theory... ;)
