Learning Trajectories and repositories Edrene conference Copenhagen, October 6, 2010 Allard Strijker, SLO

Introduction SLO – Centre of Excellence for Curriculum Design

Questions.. to think about Ideas about: –Possibilities of Learning Trajectories? –Vocabularies vs Linked data? –Alternatives?

Why Learning Trajectories Based on national curricular framework General core objectives -> simplified in intermediate objectives Decision support for teachers, publishers, educational developers Developing course materials –Content –Learning objectives –Sequence –Planning

Planning

Other functions of learning trajectories Coherence in courses Continuity, consistency Organisational aspects, planning Differentiated education Personal learning guidance Individual learning plan Education approach

What is a Learning Trajectory 1? A learning trajectory is a reasoned structured set of intermediate objectives and content leading to a certain core objective

What are Learning Trajectories 2? Depending on the exact function, context and audience curricula vary in the extent to which different implications for curriculum elements are developed.

Curriculum Elements COMPONENTCORE QUESTION RationaleWhy are they learning? ObjectivesTowards which goals are they learning? ContentWhat are they learning? Learning activitiesHow are they learning? Teacher roleHow is the teacher facilitating their learning? Materials and resourcesWith what are they learning? GroupingWith whom are they learning? LocationWhere are they learning? TimeWhen are they learning? AssessmentHow is their learning assessed?

Different levels of Learning Trajectories European level –Common European Framework of Reference: Learning, Teaching, AssessmentCommon European Framework of Reference: Learning, Teaching, Assessment National level –Cross level learning trajectories Math, Dutch languageCross level learning trajectories Math, Dutch language School level –Supporting educational approach Student level –Monitoring progress
