10. How to use it 1. The teacher should diagnose the learning styles his/her students use online 2. in the classroom A set of flash cards is available in the web and the teacher assigns (allows to choose) the tasks to the learners The teacher has a box of the printed cards and distributes them among his/her students according to their preferred LS 3. The tasks should be accomplished individually or in the groups 4. The tasks have comparable assessment value 5. The tasks are (if possible) based on web 2.0 tools dr Maria Zajac, PedagogicalUniversity Kraków, Poland
11. Pros and cons + – Teacher has to be aware of different LS his/her students use Necessity to design different activities/tasks for the same topics/skills/competences Necessity to asses different tasks for the same topic More complicated marking and grading Great amount of work at the beginning is needed Students activities are (better) adjusted to their individual LS Learning process is more efficient Cards could be reused and interchanged Assessment is less boring It is some sort of challenge dr Maria Zajac, Pedagogical University Kraków, Poland
12. Things to be done – pilot phase Organize a workshop for teachers who want to participate in the experiment and establish a group of the volunteers (October 2011) Diagnose the learning styles of the students (using the KSTIW questionnaire - offline version) Prepare the sets of flash cards for chosen school subjects (winter sem. 2011/2012) Use those cards in the classes (summer sem. 2011/2012) Collect observations, analyze them and introduce necessary changes/improvements Implement the online version of KSTIW questionnaire Additionally – consider verifying the influence of personalized tasks on students’ learning styles dr Maria Zajac, PedagogicalUniversity Kraków, Poland
