Thank you for your insights into the direct instruction approach. Great job connecting this method with Behaviourism and the topic of your learning resource – Growth Mindset. Direct instruction usually helps learners achieve lower division outcomes of Bloom’s taxonomy at “remember” and “understand” levels. If your course goals are to help students “apply” the knowledge/skills/concepts, you may also want to consider experiential learning, for example.
For some reason, your comments section is missing in Blog 3, so I post here. Excellent overview of the inclusive design strategies to ensure that your learning resource meets the needs of diverse learners. I wonder if self-paced delivery would help Grade 4 students achieve their learning goals. I believe they need adults to direct their learning at this age so that they can stay focused on the learning tasks. Who would take that role if the teacher is not physically/virtually present?
