Article style and source: Peer Reviewed. Original ultiBASE publication. Original URL: Contents Abstract In something of a landmark for education Knowles (1970) suggested an important change in the way in which educational experiences for adults should be designed.

5 Steps to Preventing Scope Creep (and Still Keeping Your Clients Happy) - Bidsketch Any freelancer or agency that has been in business for any length of time has experienced the monster that is scope creep. It goes something like this: work with a new client starts off as well as you would expect, but over time the project seems to get bigger and bigger while your price remains the same. The client either (a) seems to think5 that the “extra”work is within the scope of the original agreement, or (b) simply doesn’t realize that he or she is asking for more than was originally agreed.

Rethinking Thinking - Does Bloom's Taxonomy Align with Brain Science? Dr. Spencer Kagan To cite this article: Kagan, S. Rethinking Thinking – Does Bloom's Taxonomy Align with Brain Science? Thoughtful educators know that their students' success in the 21st Century depends on thinking skills. The second, related trend is the change rate. For half a century, thinking about thinking among educators has been dominated by a hierarchical model. Bloom's Taxonomy In Bloom's Taxonomy, six types of thinking are arranged from simple to complex; the taxonomy is built on the assumption that the more complex or higher-level thinking skills are built on the simpler or lower-level thinking skills. Table 1: Bloom's Taxonomy Among many educators this hierarchal notion of thinking has led to an unquestioned acceptance of the idea that there are "high" and "low" levels of thinking: Knowledge and Comprehension are presumed to be less complex cognitively than are Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. IQ without Recall. Evaluation without Thinking.

Sloan School of Management How to Write Email with Military Precision In the military, a poorly formatted email may be the difference between mission accomplished and mission failure. During my active duty service, I learned how to structure emails to maximize a mission’s chances for success. Since returning from duty, I have applied these lessons to emails that I write for my corporate job, and my missives have consequently become crisper and cleaner, eliciting quicker and higher-quality responses from colleagues and clients. Here are three of the main tips I learned on how to format your emails with military precision: 1. Subjects with keywords.

Gagne’s Conditions of Learning Theory | International Centre for Educators' Learning Styles Robert Gagné’s seminal work is his conditions of learning theory. It includes five categories of learning outcomes and the nine events of instruction. Together, these two themes of Gagné’s learning theory provide a framework for learning conditions. Gagné’s work (1985) focuses on intentional or purposeful learning, which is the type of learning that occurs in school or specific training programs. For example, a learner who is participating in a situation where the right conditions for learning are invoked, then he or she will experience the five categories of learning outcomes that include the human capabilities of intellectual skills, verbal information, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and attitudes. Gagné also relates learning outcomes to the events of instruction. Description of Gagné’s Conditions of Learning Theory Gagné’s conditions of learning theory draws upon general concepts from various learning theories in order to define what learning is.
