Comments on: Making homework into classwork with mastery learning http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2009/01/19/making-homework-into-classwork-with-mastery-learning/ Weblog of Wesley Fryer Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:55:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Adria Carter http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2009/01/19/making-homework-into-classwork-with-mastery-learning/comment-page-1/#comment-65510 Adria Carter Sun, 25 Jan 2009 22:51:36 +0000 http://www.speedofcreativity.org/?p=3323#comment-65510 As a fourth grade teacher, there are so many new resources available to provide support for students in the home environment. I look forward to the day when all students are issued a laptop just as we would issue them a textbook. I have made it a goal to introduce one lesson each week with computer technology or to use technology to reinforce a concept. The only thing that lacks in everyone’s life is that of TIME – I would love to have the TIME to then post all of these activities on my class webpage. I guess that will become my goal for the summer!

However, I think compliance may be encouraged more strongly than in a traditional classroom because of the requirement to get the assignment completed in class. I'm thinking this would have been a great approach for my own statistics courses in grad school.

Students just don't have the background or domain knowledge to make a lot of high-level learning assignments and discussions meaningful and successful. It appears that they were successful and completion rates and learning increased, but based on my experience with my students, I wonder how many would actually review the media at a high enough rate to take the next step.

I have been doing this for two years now with my own classes and I can vouch for the effectiveness of this. These guys were smart enough to take it a bit further with the mastery bit which I think is great. Excellent work and great video for sharing with faculty!

I embedded the video on our school's wiki with the hope that our administration will take note and be more accepting and accommodating to those of us that are trying to push our practice beyond the traditional format - their model is very inspiration. Some of us have already started talking about how to implement a form of this. This is great.
