Learning objectives? #5

Open atyre2 opened 5 years ago

atyre2 commented 5 years ago

Should each chapter start with a list of learning objectives?

GabsPalomo commented 5 years ago

I agree. I'll start thinking about this. Also, I think the questions at the end should tie with the learning objectives somehow. Let me think about the ones for the first chapter and will post them now.

There is also a list of learning objectives in the Index, which comes up as chapter 1, I think. It would be nice to have alignment between these objectives and the chapter objectives.

GabsPalomo commented 5 years ago

I just reviewed the general objectives in the Index. What do you think about having General objectives (index) and specific or chapter objectives (for each chapter)?

This way we can link the general objectives from the book to more specific learning objectives with each chapter.

I found this list of verbs to use for learning objectives according to Bloom's taxonomy. I will keep looking for a list that follows Marzano taxonomy too so we can compare both.

This is definitely the educator in me, and it may be a little too much BUT I think a table like this might help us keep track of the learning objectives per chapter to see which ones we are including and how much weight we are assigning to each one.

We could include it or not in the Index. Whatever you think is best. This is obviously just a rough draft so we can def do a more "attractive" table.

Did you do the table in excel or R? I will try to do one in R.
