Please interrupt me at any time.I don’t know all the answers.I also know that some of my teaching experiences may not translate to your needs.My purpose is to share some of my experiences with you with the hope that you will learn from my time in this session

AN IMPORTANT CONFESSION

4

Think about the last class you taught.

1. Can you list what you covered?2. Can you list what your students

learned?

Why is question 1 easier to answer than question 2?

5

• Not sure what I really want my students to learn.

• Do not know the language and the disciplinary framework of learning.

• Not sure how to match up my teaching to their learning.

Why is question 1 easier to answer than question 2?

Why Active Learning?

Confucius (400 BC):• What I hear, I forget.• What I see, I remember.• What I do, I understand.• Silberman (1996):• What I hear, I forget.• What I hear and see, I remember a little.• What I hear, see, and ask questions about or

discuss with someone else, I begin to understand.• What I hear, see, discuss and do, I acquire

knowledge and skill.• What I teach to another, I master.

Instructional Objective ExamplesAt the end of this section of the course, the student should be able

to:• State typical values for the conductivities and numbers of carriers in

metals, semiconductors and insulating materials. • Use basic equations for conduction to determine quantities such as

resistivities and mobilities when given data such as resistance and material dimensions.

• State whether the observed behavior is representative of metallic or semiconducting behavior when given resistance vs. T data .

• Describe the basic differences between intrinsic and extrinsic conduction behavior in materials such as Si, ZrO2, and NaCl.

• Use Kroger-Vink notation to describe the defect chemistry of typical doped semiconductor and insulator materials when provided with a specific dopant.

• Be able to calculate the activation energies associated with charge transport and defect generation as well as the doping level of the material.

• Calculate the equilibrium coefficient associated with a particular defect reaction at a specified temperature.

• Plot the pO2 dependence of the defect concentrations when provided appropriate chemical equilibrium data.

SOLO Taxonomy:Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes

• Pre structural• Uni structural• Multi structural• Relational• Extended Abstract

29

• The Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) taxonomy is a model that describes levels of increasing complexity in student's understanding of subjects. It was proposed by John B. Biggs and K. Collis and has since gained popularity.

• The model consists of 5 levels of understanding • Pre-structural - The task is not attacked appropriately; the

student hasn’t really understood the point and uses too simple a way of going about it.

• Uni-structural - The student's response only focuses on one relevant aspect.

• Multi-structural - The student's response focuses on several relevant aspects but they are treated independently and additively. Assessment of this level is primarily quantitative.

• Relational - The different aspects have become integrated into a coherent whole. This level is what is normally meant by an adequate understanding of some topic.

• Extended abstract - The previous integrated whole may be conceptualised at a higher level of abstraction and generalised to a new topic or area.

place for them…

...it would be good to get out of this situation…

…and into this situation with a better future. It is good to grow when some

one sets limits and cares!
