Assignments --Group Presentations
(Applied )
In-Class Format Examples:
Skit on Stage
Mime
Robbins’ Motivational Sales Pitch---------Technology
Puppet Show Write/perform a song
PowerPoint
Live or Video? (80% opt for video)
ETC.
Principles:-
2 to 6 people per group
concept, technique, vocabulary, model, from a selected chapter
5 to 10 minutes
PENALTY for exceeding 10 minutes (10%)
“less is more”Slide13
Video--Group Presentation Possibilities
write, produce, and video a skit, puppet show, etc.
samples of video clips with commentary
interview children/teachers/parents...
Cartoons or wherever your creativity leads...
If Video keep in mind: audio quality / camera stability
transfer to VCR format / timelines
could be an .mpg file on a CD, or Flash Drive , or DVD
media services (Lambton Towers, see Larry Foley)
As these videos are designed to instruct your peers, your students, your associate teachers, the parents of students, the public, and so on, they may be shown in other educational psychology classes, at other times…
Note 1. Every year I get requests from former students for a copy of their presentation (particularly the very good productions) for in-service sessions they are working on in their present teaching positions. I can’t always find them, or make copies, so I suggest you make sure everyone in your group who wants a copy has a copy.
Note 2. In the past, the target audience was limited to student teachers—your peers. In the interests of practicality and future utility the student teacher may be the secondary target, and you may opt for primary target audiences such as: practicing teachers, parents, children, adolescents, professionals, media, and so on.Slide14
Assignments (Brochures)
Four Brochures (20%)
Samples on-line and in-class
Choose your topic from the text
Use the text bookCredit the text bookParaphrase not quotes.Elaborate
Choose your target audienceTeachers, parents, student teachers, students, public, grade 5 students, siblings of LD students, professors, etc. ...

Professional appearance
Format
Language level
Future useSlide15
Test 3 Alternate
Prepare an additional set of four Brochures addressing four different topics that you contend were not adequately addressed in the Faculty of Education program, ...not just the educational psychology course.
NOTE. You need to be aware that (1) I would have access to material addressed in other courses and could inquire whether a particular topic you decide to pursue was indeed enhanced by more depth or greater breadth on your part, and (2) it is plagiarism to use material for an assignment in one course for an assignment in another course. Don't put yourself in jeopardy..
The intent here is to highlight your professional standing as a responsible, mature, independent, personal, life-long learner--a learner capable of initiating and implementing your own knowledge growth.
Topics would have a tie to educational psychology but go beyond the textbook, the course, or the program. Your Brochures should show evidence of transcending these existing sources.Slide16

(
to facilitate class activities)
Good talk.
Noise can facilitate.Bring texts to class
(talk & group work)Class and group participation is evaluated
Bad talk.
Noise can interfere.
Whispering is a distractor when others are trying to communicate.
Be courteous when the professor, a guest, or a classmate is addressing the entire class!!!Slide26

What does the older research indicate about summer vacation?Slide35
Beggs & Hieronymous 1968
Studied 2000 students
Grades 5 …6
Tested May and October
ITBS (11 subtests)
What does the research indicate?Slide36
Beggs & Hieronymous 1968
Attrition on punctuation
...on arithmetic
...on problem solving
NO OTHER LAGSSlide37
BUT
...punctuation p<.1
...on problem solving p<.1

NO OTHER LAGSSlide38
Bottom Line:
...on arithmetic…maybe
GENERALLY NO LAGSSlide39
Soar & Soar, 1969

Formal instruction...
may be detrimental to learningSlide42
Other Studies
Heynes (1978) N=1500 Gr 6
Low SES … -.28yrs (loss over summer)
High SES… .29yrs (gain over summer)
Bottom Line:
SES seems to be criticalSlide43
Other Studies
Wintre (1988) (grades 1, 3, 5)
Gains for word knowledge
Gains for reading
Gains for math concepts
Loss for math computations (gr 3)Slide44
Reece, Myers, Nofsinger, & Brown, 2000
Used curriculum-based-measures (CBM) not norm-referenced measures
N=749 (Grades 1, 3 and 5) rural Kentucky
Traditional (10wk) (180-200 instr. Days?)
Alternative (8wk) (135 instr. Days?)
May be an examination of more vacation days!The effect is for the primary grades only?Slide45
Math
Don’t try and note these. The point is that the effects are convolutedSlide46
SpellingSlide47
WritingSlide48
ReadingSlide49
Implications?
Effects are complex
Summer school (Not critical,
but…
)Extended school year (Not critical, but…
)September review (Not critical but schema activation is important…)
SES (Seems Important, but… see Dorothy Lee…)Take a Break! (Important, but…our study of leisure…)
Even In class…
but not in 203?
