[u05a1] - Learning Utopia (Ideal Learning Situation)

Moore , Ashley

Overall Comments

Hi Ashley,  great start to this assessment. This is a complex assessment as it as many parts.  There were a couple of parts to the instructions that are missing.  Once you incorporate into your work, you will be able to meet all of the criteria.  Everything you have is good!  You will need to add to it. 

Here are the missing parts from the instructions.  You will need to identify something specific that you want to learn (in this case it will be ok to use first person for that part), you will also need to refer back to the case that you chose for assessments 1 and 2.

Start by identifying a skill or concept that you always wanted to learn.

• Which learning theory or theories best support how you would learn this topic?

Compare this with the case study you chose for assessments 1 and 2.

• Which components should be tailored to the specific learner?
• Which components of your learning situation could be applied to a broader population?
• Evaluate the effectiveness of your learning situation for the case study.

I look forward to reading you updated assessment.  Warmly, Dr. Sullivan

Criterion

Non-performance

Basic

Proficient

Distinguished

Criterion

Apply learning theory terminology and concepts to describe a learning situation.

Competency

Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of learning sub-processes.

not selected Does not apply learning theory terminology and concepts to describe a learning situation. not selected Inaccurately applies learning theory terminology and concepts to describe a learning situation. selected Proficient Applies learning theory terminology and concepts to describe a learning situation. not selected Applies learning theory and concepts to a learning situation in ways that are consistent with the theoretical framework, useful toward the resolution of the learning situation, and impactful in conveying precise meaning and intent.

Comments:

This was hard to grade because you did a great job of discussing the theories, motivation, and learning in general. However, a specific personal learning task was not identified.

Criterion

Justify which learning theory best supports a personal learning situation.

Competency

Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of the foundational learning theories.

not selected Does not select a learning theory to support a personal learning situation. not selected Selects a learning theory that supports a personal learning situation, but does not provide justification for selection. selected Proficient Justifies which learning theory best supports a personal learning situation. not selected Justifies which learning theory best supports a personal learning situation. Identifies strengths and limitations of the personal learning situation.

Comments:

Same for this criterion.

Criterion

Evaluate the role of motivation in a learning situation.

Competency

Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of learning sub-processes.

not selected Does not discuss the role of motivation in a personal learning situation. not selected Discusses motivation but does not evaluate the role of motivation in a personal learning situation. selected Proficient Evaluates the role of motivation in a personal learning situation. not selected Evaluates the role of motivation in a personal learning situation. Incorporates techniques that will help monitor and maintain personal motivation.

Comments:

Even though you didn't discuss a specific personal learning situation, for this one you did a really good job of integrating theory, motivation and personal learning. Once you add your learning task, you can address how to maintain motivation for it too.

Criterion

Evaluate how effective this learning situation would be with the previous case study and broader population.

Competency

Apply evidence based research in learning theories to guide decision making and problem solving.

selected Non-performance Does not analyze how learning the situation could be used with the previous case study. not selected Analyzes how the learning situation could be used with the previous case study. not selected Evaluates how effective this learning situation would be with the previous case study. not selected Evaluates how effective this learning situation would be with the previous case study. Identifies criteria that can be used to measure the effectiveness of the learning situation.

Comments:

I didn't see any reference to one of the case studies. You will need to compare your learning situation with the case in context of the learning theories you addressed.

Criterion

Differentiate between the components of the learning situation that are specific to the individual and those that are more broadly applicable.

Competency

Evaluate the strengths, limitations, and applications of the foundational learning theories.

not selected Does not explain the components of the learning situation. not selected Explains the components of the learning situation, but does not differentiate those that are specific to the individual and those that are more broadly applicable. not selected Differentiates between the components of the learning situation that are specific to the individual and those that are more broadly applicable. selected Distinguished Differentiates between the components of the learning situation that are specific to the individual and those that are more broadly applicable by providing an example from a specialized field in psychology.

Comments:

Even though you didn't discuss a specific personal learning situation, for this one you did a really good job of integrating theory, motivation and personal learning and learning for a broader population.

Criterion

Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics; format paper, citations, and references using APA style.

Competency

Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the psychological professions. 

not selected Does not write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics; does not format paper, citations, and references correctly using APA style. not selected Uses sentence structure that is mostly clear, with a few minor spelling or grammatical errors but fails to attribute quotes and citations in a few places, or allows some inconsistencies in APA style. selected Proficient Writes clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics; formats paper, citations, and references using APA style. not selected Writes clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics; uses relevant evidence to support a central idea; and formats paper, citations, and references using APA style.

Comments:

Overall good writing and APA. Your references page was a little off on this one. Watch for subject-verb agreement and missing words here and there. You might try reading your work slowly out loud. Or read it backwards - with the last sentence. It is sometime easier to hear where things are missing this way.
