1. Learner-Centered Approaches Learner-centered Approaches that I will use to improve the learning of my students in Horticultural Methods 2 course will include:  Discussion Board  Journal/Blogs  Flipped Classroom  Problem Based Learning

2. Learning Outcome 1: Demonstrate the biological theory of plant propagation and develop the concept of propagating plants in various environmental conditions.  Learner-centered Approaches: Discussion board Journal/Blogs

3. Learning Outcome 1: Previous Knowledge:  Discussion All students will participate in class writing the key words and/or terms related to plant biology and plant life and growth from their previous knowledge  Discussion and questions follow the class

4. Learning Outcome 1: Learner-centered Approaches:  Discussion Board Create discussion board on web using software like “Blackboard’ and create ending questions on the discussion board from previous class discussion notes This will encourage thinking skills, and gain learning from others knowledge to built concept on plant biology and life cycle Students evaluation associated with posting on the discussion board to motivate student participation

5. Learning Outcome 1: Learner-centered Approaches:  Journal/Blogs Students will create a shared journal and blog, using Google Drive. This will help students interact more with other students and learn faster through the shared documents Instructors evaluation can happen faster and provide students feedback promptly using these learning processes

6. Learning Outcome 2: Practice different methods of vegetative propagation in horticultural crops.  Learner-Centered Approach: Flipped Classroom

7. Learning Outcome 2: Currently: Instructor facilitate discussion on previous based learning and concept built

8. Learning Outcome 2: Learner-Centered Approach:  Flipped Classroom Discussion and provide access to videos on plant propagation during class Students independently learn and perform plant propagation techniques in class lab This will help students learn through visual learning process and practice techniques in lab: more instructor facilitation than lecturing Students evaluation associated with steps and procedures and performing successful plant propagation in class lab

9. Learning Outcome 3: Examine and evaluate plant growth development under differential stress/environmental conditions.  Learner-Centered Approach: Problem-Based Learning

10. Learning Outcome 3: Currently: All students will participate in class discussion relating factors affecting plant growth and development

11. Learning Outcome 3: Learner-Centered Approach:  Problem-Based Learning Plant provided with different environmental stress in class lab Student start gathering information online pertaining to stress related sign and symptoms in plants Identify different types of stress and examine, differentiate, and evaluate different situations Students to solve problem and evaluate independently giving practical life experience Students evaluation associated with steps and procedures in environmental stress evaluation
