#4 learning theory and design document

Assalamualaikum...

For the 4th class, we've learned about Inquiry Learning, Problem Based Learning, and Authentic Learning. I am quite familiar with all these 3 learning approach as I've learned about it in my degree time.

Basically, Inquiry Learning happens when the teachers start students learning process by giving them questions to think about. through a series of questions, students will discover the knowledge. experiment is one type of Inquiry Learning.

Problem based learning occur, when the teacher present a real life problem to the  students. students will start investigation process, by searching for more information. After they have come up with the idea, they will present the answer to their fellow friends. teacher's role is just to monitor and facilitate the discussion process. At the end of the process, teacher will make conclusion and comment on students answer.

For authentic learning, the learning occurs by bringing real situation in the learning. Here, student be the expert in the field and do authentic task by using the real equipment that the expert used.

Both Problem based learning and authentic learning are the learning process that have been recommended by scholars  to implement in school to prepare our students towards the 21st century. As students in 21st century should have problem solving skills, information seeking strategy, and communication skills.

Other than that, we also learned about project management in web design and production. we've discussed within the members of our group, and come out with the concept of our website. We are also asked to start preparing our design document.

This class is so informative that now, I'm more clear with the overall idea on how our website should be as Dr.Dayana show us some learning website. It really help us to imagine what should we put annd how to organize the content in our website..
