  1. ì   Not  Your  Grandma’s  Oldsmobile:     Navigating  the

     Changing  World  of  Adult   Learning     IACET  Webinar  –  January  16,  2013   T  M  ”Tim”  Stafford,  MS  MA   Director  of    Digital  Media  Center  &  Sr.  Instruc=onal  Designer   Liberty  Building  Forensics  Group®  -­‐  Zellwood,  Florida  
  2. Introduction:  Goals  of  this  Session     ì  Create  a

     theore=cal  framework  for  current  andragogy.   ì  Evaluate  some  technological  implica=ons  for  the  expansion  of   models  of  higher  order  thinking  skills  like  Bloom’s  Taxonomy.   ì  Analyze  the  connec=on  between  objec=ves  and  evalua=ons   ì  Analyze  the  emerging  theory  of  connec=vism  and  how  it   reflects  a  change  in  andragogy.   ì  Ques=ons  and  answers  
  3. Key  Theories  of  Adult  Learning   ì  McClusky’s  Theory  of

     Margin       ì  Illeris’s  Three  Dimensional  Learning  Model   ì  Jarvis’s  Learning  Process   ì  Brookfield’s  Reflec=ve  Teaching  Model  
  4. McClusky’s  Theory  of  Margin   ì  The  adult  learner  seeks

     to  strike  a  balance  (L:P)  between:   ì  The  Load  of  Life  (L)  which  acts  like  an  independent  variable   ì  The  Power  of  Life  (P)  which  is  the  power  to  manage  L   ì  Impact:  Educa=on  becomes  a  load  that  can  become  dispensable  if  it   becomes  overwhelming  to  the  power  to  perform.    
  5. Illeris’  Three  Dimensional  Learning  Model   ì  The  adult  seeks

     to  strike  a   balance  (C:E:S)  between:   ì  Cogni=on  –  The  ability  to   understand   ì  Emo=on  –  The  ability  to   maintain  balance  with   personal  issues   ì  Social  –  The  ability  to  ping   ideas  against  cultural  norms   and  mores  and  reconcile   them.   ì  Impact  1:  Adults  need  to   understand  the  WHY  of   learning   ì  Impact  2:  Adults  need  to   understand  HOW  it  will   impact  THEIR  world  
  6.   Considering  Reflective  Teaching   ì  4  Cri=cal  Lenses  of

     Reflec=ve   Teaching   ì  The  lens  of  autobiography  –   What  has  been  my  experience?     ì  The  lens  of  the  student  –  Who   am  I  in  the  process?     ì  The  lens  of  experience  in   rela6on  to  colleagues  –  How   are  others  affec=ng  me  with   what  they  know?   ì  The  lens  of  theore6cal   literature  –  What  do  I  know  and   where  are  there  gaps  in  my   knowledge?  Where  are  there   biases  and  assump=ons  in  my   knowledge?   Brookfield’s  Reflec=ve  Teaching  Model  
  7. Epistemology  and  the  Learning  Process   ì  Connec=ons  between  belief

     and   learning  (Markman,  2012)   ì  Connec=ons  between   experience  and  learning  (Jarvis,   2984)   ì  A  simple  world  view  structure  –   connected  beliefs  about:   ì  Poli=cs   ì  Educa=on   ì  Economics   ì  Religion   ì  Social  Issues   ©2011  The  Nehemiah  Ins=tute     Used  with  permission  
  8. SO  WHAT?!!?   Theory     ì  McClusky’s  Theory  of

     Margin   ì  Illeris’  Three  Dimensional   Learning  Model   ì  Brookfield’s  Reflec=ve   Teaching  Model   ì  Epistemological  Connec=ons     Prac=cal  Applica=on  to   Instruc=onal  Design   ì  Instruc=onal  design  needs  to   address  the  balance  that  is   needed  for  a  learner’s  personal   success.   ì  Instruc=onal  design  needs  to   address  the  impact  of  the  learning   on  the  world  of  the  learner.   ì  Instruc=onal  design  has  to  be   reflec=ve  –  This  is  a  key  element   of  transforma=ve  learning   (Mezirow,  1997)   ì  Instruc=onal  design  needs  to   understand  the  worldview  issues   that  impact  the  learner.  
  9. The  Expansion  of  Bloom’s  Taxonomy   ì  Tradi=onal  Bloom’s  Taxonomy

     Revealed  the  Principles  of  Higher   Order  Thinking  Skills.   ì  An  Updated  Version  Tackles  Technological  Culture   Advancements.   ì  How  to  Effec=vely  U=lize  Technology  in  the  Development  of   Higher  Order  Thinking  Skills.  
  10. SO  WHAT?!!?   Subject     ì  Bloom’s  Taxonomy  

    ì  Technological   Considera=ons     Prac=cal  Applica=on  to   Instruc=onal  Design   ì  Instruc=onal  design  needs  to   address  the  highest  order  of   thinking  skills   ì  Technology  can  be  leveraged   to  help  learners  achieve  the   highest  order  of  thinking  skills.   ì  Social  learning  is  on  the  rise   and  technology  will  be  the   driver  behind  robust  changes   in  instruc=onal  design.  
  11. Objectives  and  Assessments:     Bookends  of  the  Learning  Journey

      Bookend  #1   • Define  the   objec=ves.   Bookend  #2   • Create   assessments   to  prove   that  the   objec=ves   were  met.  
  12. Bookend  #1  –  Define  the  Objectives   ì  Objec=ves  are

     clearly  beyond  –  “Students  will  be  able  to…   (SWBAT)”   ì  Objec=ves  have  the  power  to  posi=on  the  coursework  in  a   much  more  holis=c  framework.  Ques=ons  to  consider:   ì  How  do  the  objec=ves  connect  with  the  subject  maoer?   ì  How  do  the  objec=ves  connect  with  the  company’s  mission?   ì  How  do  the  objec=ves  connect  with  the  industry  at  large?    
  13. Bookend  #1:     Define  the  Objective  Framework   Industry

     Mission   Corporate   Mission   Departmental   Mission   Course  Objec6ves  
  14. Bookend  #1:     Example  -­‐  IACET  Presentation   The

     Mission  of   Instruc=onal   Design  as  a   Discipline     The  Mission  of   ASTD   The  mission/   objec=ves  of   the  local   chapter   Tim’s  Objec6ves  
  15. Kirkpatrick’  s  4  Levels  of  Evaluation  (1994)   ì  Reac6on

     -­‐  how  the  learners  react  to  the  learning  process   ì  “Was  the  learning  worth  my  =me?”   ì  Learning  -­‐  the  extent  to  which  the  learners  gain  knowledge  and  skills   ì  What  knowledge  was  acquired?   ì  What  skills  were  developed  or  enhanced?   ì  What  artudes  were  changed?   ì  Behavior  -­‐  capability  to  perform  the  learned  skills  while  on  the  job   ì  “Do  people  use  their  newly  acquired  learning  on  the  job?”   ì  Results  -­‐  includes  such  items  as  ROI,  efficiency,  morale,  etc.  
  16. Bookend  #2:     Framework  for  Evaluation   Reac=on  

    Learning   Behavior   Results   Aligning  the  Objec6ves  
  17. SO  WHAT?!!?   Subject     ì  Bookend#1:  Objec=ves  

    ì  Bookend  #2:  Evalua=ons   ì  Future  Bookend:   Collabora=on  –  Learner   collabora=on  is  not  just  a   fad,  but  will  be  the  driver  in   corporate  business  learning.       Prac=cal  Applica=on  to   Instruc=onal  Design   ì  Instruc=onal  design  needs  to   address  the  intertwining   objec=ve  structure  that   exists  when  designing   coursework.   ì  Instruc=onal  design  needs  to   create  evalua=ons  that  align   to  the  objec=ves.   ì  Instruc=onal  design  needs  to   follow  a  more  robust   framework  of  evalua=ons   that  speak  to  all  aspects  of   the  learning  success.  
  18.   SO  WHAT?!!?       Element  of    Theory

     of   Connec=vism     ì  Connec=vism   ì  Network  Learning  Theory   ì  Ubiquitous  Learning  (u-­‐ learning:  a  combina=on  of  e-­‐   learning  and  m-­‐learning)   (Sung,  2009)   Prac=cal  Applica=on  to   Instruc=onal  Design   ì  Connec=vism  harnesses  the   power  to  combine  the  strengths   of  the  learner  with  the  rich   networking  of  social  media  to   create  new  learning  spheres.   ì  NLT  gives  principles  by  which  the   complete  diversity  found  in  the   connec=vist  theory  has  the   promise  to  empower  an   exponen=al  yield  from  collaborate     and  ubiquitous  learning.   ì  U-­‐learning  gives  instructors  the   ability  to  facilitate  and  coach   learners  towards  areas  of   advancement  that  intrinsically   mo=vate  them,  while  capitlizing   on  teir  areas  of  strength  as  an   internal  SME  (consider  MOOC’s)    
  19.   Trends  of  the  Changing  Adult  Learner  (Marx,  2006)  

    ì  Technology  will  increase  the  speed  of  communica=on  and  the   pace  of  advancement  or  decline.   ì  Release  of  human  ingenuity  will  become  a  primary   responsibility  of  educa=on  and  society.   ì  Social  and  intellectual  capital  will  become  economic  drivers,   intensifying  compe==on  for  well-­‐educated  people.   ì  Greater  numbers  of  people  will  seek  personal  meaning  in  their   lives  in  response  to  an  intense,  high-­‐tech,  always  on,  fast-­‐ moving  society.
