CREATE STUDENT-FRIENDLY LEARNING TARGETS

CREATE STUDENT-FRIENDLY LEARNING TARGETS 

Select a learning target that would benefit from being rephrased for students. –  Follow the process described in the section “Converting Knowledge and Reasoning Learning Targets to Student Friendly Language. –  Share any impact you noticed of using the student- friendly definition with your students.

The learning target I choose is related to the Area “Conocimiento del entorno” and is:

Interesarse por el medio natural, observar y reconocer animales, plantas, elementos y fenómenos de la naturaleza, experimentar, hablar sobre ellos y desarrollar actitudes de curiosidad. 

Get involved with the environment, observe, and recognize animals, plants, elements and phenomena of the nature. Experiment and talk about them and developed curiosity attitudes.  

-          Disfrute al realizar actividades en contacto con la naturaleza. Valoración de su importancia para la salud y el bienestar. Visión crítica y valoración de actitudes positivas en relación con la naturaleza.

-          Enjoy the activities in contact with nature. Assessment of the importance for health and wellness. Valuation of critical and positive attitudes toward nature.

This is an objective I worked in my years as Preschool teacher in Venezuela and this objective I think is an objective that can be rephrase for the understanding of the little ones.

Following the process describe in the section “Converting Knowledge and Reasoning targets to student friendly language” to make this objective Friendly for the students specially the little ones we can rephrased rewriting the objective using the “I” or “WE”, as it says in the statement we studied.

• Rewrite the definition as an “I” or “We” statement: “I am learning to…”; “I can…”; “We are learning to…”; “We can…”

And then the target will be: WE ARE LEARNING TO enjoy the activities in contact with nature WE assess the importance of this for our health and wellness and also WE CAN value the critical and positive attitudes toward nature.

As you know at the moment I am not working so the second part of this task that is to share any impact I noticed of using the student- friendly definition with my students, is not going to be possible to do it but I positively know that with this kind of friendly language the students react and understand the targets better and the learning process becomes more effective.
