Wynand

Wynand, this is your page to follow up on your assignment and other issues. = = =Intervention:=

I separated the performance issue from the intervention to look at the following aspects: (i) the issues that belongs to the students (ii) the issues in the implementation of the tutor materials These issues contributed to the poor performance and therefore the intervention implementation was developed.

Which factors contribute to the performance issue and which to the intervention implementation? By studying the mind map the background of the students (poor study skills, poor language skills and poor exam performer) contribute to poor performance. Secondly lack of motivation and discipline as well as dropout. Thirdly no remedial education.

Inadequate support like study materials (delayed, not clear, not linked, not referenced, not aligned, no tutor guidance) as well as feedback system (no exam quizzes, no formative and summative feedback, no assignments, no tasks, no feedback, no counseling and no tutorial support) are part of intervention implementation. The objective is to improve the poor results and therefore a holistic view is important.

In the intervention implementation plan more attention should have been given to the background issues with regard to the students and the support. The issues that are related to the materials and feedback system. The mind map is therefore very useful in looking at the problem holistically instead of only part of the problem.

Wynand, well done! The objective of the HPT course is to help you develop a holistic view as many things may contribute to the problem - so considering all the factors in the design of the intervention would have greater chances of success. In your assignment submission, you have created an elaborate project implementation plan. This is what is needed for successful project implementation. However, all I wanted was for you to write down how you would go about whether the problems listed in the mind map are actually the problems in your case.

Hi Everyone

In planning I looked at the lesson objectives and used all relevant parts in Chapter 16, 15 and 20. If I compare it with our course outline I realized and appreciated the good planning that went into it. Besides the given chapters I also used the two sites below for types of communication and the importance of it. Use the site: []

Types of communication [] In the sample lesson that I developed I concentrated on the first stage only: Select the information to attend to.

**Step 1**
I will welcome the learners and give the objectives of the lesson. In gaining attention the learners must know what is expected of them. In a Blended class I will develop a short video clip using animation software or record different types of communication. I followed the steps of Gagne at http://minutebio.com/blog/2009/01/29/using-gagnes-9-events-of-learning-in-e-learning/ According to the nine events of Gagne to gain attention, especially in e-learning is the use of animation, audio or graphics. The important aspect here is to tie the content and to stimulate the learning of the subject at hand. It is important to not only get the attention of the learners, but to get them curious and motivated to learn about the subject. It is now expected of the learners to respond to the clips and give their views. They must do it on the platform that has been created and share their opinion. The role of the facilitator here will just be to guide and give the learners the opportunity to give their views. As part of the steps in gaining attention in selecting information to attend to is making sure the objectives are given to the learners/students. Learners should and they want to know what they are going to learn. In the attention phase it is important to give learners a reason to listen to what you have to say, what is the added value and results for me. This is where I will tell the learners WIIFM “What’s in it for me”. Now I will share what they are going to get from this session and how it can be used in the real world. The value of what they are going to get from the lesson and they will have a clear idea why they should listen to me. Sometimes it is a good idea to share personal experiences with them and what value it has for me. The illustration of the first part is given above.
 * Step 2**

If learners can relate the learning content to the real world I can encourage them that they can do it as well (YCDI). As a language teacher in this phase I normally ask them to share similar experiences with the class.

In a Blended class I will develop short video clips using animation software or do short recordings on different types of communication. I will ask the learners to look at the clips and write their responses on the platform that has been established. Once learners have submitted their responses the value of communication will then be given to them and the WIIFM aspect will be emphasized. Seeing it is learner centered they are discovering the value as the lesson progress. If the learners are in a class appropriate types of communication can be shown to them and they can respond. Online they will be given another clip or images to look at to form their own opinion. The more learners are engaged in the learning process through discovering the more they will realize the value the YCDI concept will be achieved successfully.

 * Attention. **Gain and focus learners’ attention on the new knowledge.
 * Table 16.2. Combined Declarative Knowledge Lesson. (p. 390) ** I used it as a sample to guide and combined it with my own ideas. I used the other parts as well like WIIFM and YCDI. All relevant parts were used.

Did you separate the performance issue from the intervention implementation?
