  2. When looking at your students’ solutions, what do you think they need help on ? • Picture • Diagram • Algebra • physics concepts • Don’t plug in numbers

  3. Coaching • Provide feedback while student is stepping through the task (drill). • Provide feedback while student is practicing the task. • Student provides feedback to other students while practicing the task.

  4. 3 types of computer coaches • 1st: Computer coaches the student • computer decides, student implements, computer assesses • 2nd: Student coaches the computer • Student decides, computer implements, student assesses • 3rd: Student works more independently • Computer provides help as necessary

Cognitive apprenticeship (Collins et al. 1990) • An alternative model of instruction that is accessible within the framework of the typical classroom. • 3 main elements: • Modeling (e.g. classroom lecture) • Coaching (e.g. instructor office hours) • Scaffolding (e.g. worksheets) • Fading (e.g. tests)
