Learning method |
|---|
 | Acquire | Learning through acquisition is what learners are doing when they are listening to a lecture or podcast, reading from books or websites, and watching demos or videos (the teacher controls the narrative of learning). |
|---|
 | Inquire | Learning through investigation/inquiry guides the learner to explore, compare and critique the texts, documents and resources that reflect the concepts and ideas being taught. The learner is in control of their own learning and skills development. |
|---|
 | Discuss | Learning through discussion requires the learner to articulate their ideas and questions, and to challenge and respond to the ideas and questions from the teacher, and/or from their peers. The pedagogic focus is the value of reciprocal critique of ideas and how this leads to the development of a more conceptual understanding. |
|---|
 | Practice | Learning through practice enables the learner to adapt their actions to the task goal, and use the feedback to improve their next action. Mostly done on an individual basis it is an essential part of the learning process. Feedback may come from self-reflection, from peers, from the teacher, or from the activity itself, if it shows them how to improve the result of their action in relation to the goal. |
|---|
 | Collaborate | Learning through collaboration embraces mainly discussion, practice, and production. Building on investigations and acquisition is about taking part in the process of knowledge building itself. |
