HOW

Was the learning material crafted:

This learning material was developed by integrating established learning frameworks, innovative learning strategies, and scientifically validated theories.

This approach ensures that the activities are grounded in evidence-based practices, which are informed by research and proven educational methodologies.

The following are just a few examples:

Educational Frameworks:

• Drawing upon the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives and its expansion (developed by Benjamin S. Bloom and expanded by David Krathwohl) to define clear learning outcomes across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, ensuring a comprehensive approach to skill acquisition.
• Incorporating the 4Cs Framework from Training from the Back of the Room (developed by Sharon L. Bowman) to guide the structure and set the context for an engaging learning experience.

Brain-Based Learning:

• Applying brain-based learning principles (highlighted by David Ausubel) by leveraging the power of analogies and metaphors inspired by Norse mythology to break down complex ideas into manageable chunks as a strategy to help learners connect new information to existing knowledge.

Team Dynamics and Adult Learning:

• Aligning the content with Team Development model (developed by Bruce Tuckman) by recognizing the importance of team dynamics to ensure that the content resonates with the current stage of a learner’s and team’s learning journey.
• Applying the principles of Andragogy (Adult Learning Theory developed by Malcolm Knowles) by addressing the needs of adult learners, including the importance of relevance, problem-solving orientation, immediate feedback, and greater control over their learning journey.

Learning Engagement Techniques:

• Integrating the Liberating Structures (developed by Keith and Henri Lipmanowicz) to foster the collective intelligence of learners and empower them to take an active role in their personal and team growth.

This thoughtful crafting process of incorporating scientific research ensures our learning materials are rooted in evidence-based frameworks, fostering engagement and effectiveness while adapting to diverse learner needs across various educational settings.

This approach promotes deeper learning, critical thinking, and the development of adaptive expertise, which is essential for 21st-century competencies.

 

To achieve the desired learning outcomes & enhance your facilitation skills by applying our HOG model:

Harness your Plan:

• Clarify the goal: Clearly outline the purpose & learning outcomes of the session.
• Know your audience: Understand learners’ needs, background, and experience levels to tailor the learning material when necessary.
• Review flow of events: Go over the session’s flow and adjust timeboxes as needed, while allowing flexibility to adapt to learners’ evolving needs.

Organize & Act:

• Prepare resources & tools: Ensure all resources and tools are gathered and organized for easy access during the session.
• Test technology: For online sessions, test the platform, audio, video, and interactive features. For on-site sessions, ensure the room setup and equipment are ready.
• Engage learners: Rehearse the session and ensure you have the necessary resources to actively engage learners throughout the learning chapter.

Grow and Adapt:

• Gather feedback: Collect feedback from learners during and after the session to identify what worked well and what can be improved.
• Adjust in real-time: Stay adaptable to learners’ needs during the session, allowing flexibility in timeboxes to accommodate discussions or extended focus on certain sections.
• Reflect and improve: After the session, review feedback and conduct a self-reflection to continuously improve future sessions.
