• When using the Advanced Organizer teaching
  strategy as the primary approach, how do
  adolescents and adults learn PowerPoint
  differently?

Advanced Organizer

• So why not provide the scaffold of ideas at the
  beginning of the course? Let the student in on
  the secret of the structure, including an
  understanding of how it continually emerges
  through further inquiry, so that the mind can be
  active as the course progresses. David Ausubel,
  November 1968
• What is the Advanced Organizer Technique?
• Analysis of teaching technique.
• Active research groups.
• Research and data collection.

5
Presentation of Advance Organizer

• Clarify aims of the lesson.
• Present organizer
• Identify defining attributes

• Provide context
• Repeat
• Prompt awareness of learners relevant knowledge
  and experience.

Analysis of Teaching Technique

• Adolescents
• Overall Effects
• Behavioral Modeling and Demonstration
• Practice and Transfer
• Case Studies
• Good and Grouws
• Stallings and Kaskowitz

Research on Groups Taught

• Adolescents
• Stronger learning gains in structured learning
  environment
• Effective demonstration
• Clear and concise so learners can perceive what
  is going on
• Explanation and discussions enhance student
  performance
• Teacher guided practice
• Independent practice with more complex
  conditionspromotes transfer of learning

• Adults
• Unique Learning Process
• Ausubel Acquiring new cognition depends on
  already established cognitive structures
• Close Pin Theory

Primary Dimensions of Adult Learners by Stephen
Lieb

• Self-Directed
• Set learning goals, expectations
• Locate resources
• Critical Reflection
• Paradigm shift
• Question/Replace or reframe assumptions
• Experiential Learning
• Linderman(1926) Experience is the adult living
  textbook a continuing process of evaluating
  experiences.
• Learning to Learn

11
Adult Learner Pitfalls

• Our experiences are culturally framed
• Individual interpretations based on experience
  can be problematic in learning new information.

12
Adults vs Adolescent

• Adults
• Demand structure
• Move slowly, cautious, methodical
• Adolescents
• Initially cautious
• More willing to move to advanced skills without
  developing strong foundational elements

13
Common Teaching Tools Used

• PowerPoint for Dummies
• Walk-through a slide
• Sand-box Time
• Collaborative atmosphere-coach each other up!
• Evaluation of Teachers (us)

14
Adolescent Unit

• Health / Study Skills
• Environmental Health Unit
• MLA
• Power Point
• Speech

15
Staff Development

• Teachers who are interested in catching up with
  technology.
• Use of a hyper linked agenda as an advanced
  organizer.
• Using the Talking Ball to establish what the
  people know about computers/PowerPoint.

Adolescent Learning-Common Questions during
instruction

• How do I import video?
• What music is appropriate?
• Would it be better to time my presentation or run
  it through the mouse?

17
Adult Learning-Common Questions during
instruction

• How do I get to the sound gallery?
• How do I get motion clips?
• Can I change the color of the font?
• Can I use more than one background?

18
Data collection

• The way to collect data on the learning is to
  evaluate the presentations through a common
  rubric.
• Content Covered
• Speech evaluation
• Evaluation Form

19
When using the Advanced Organizer teaching
strategy as the primary approach, how do
adolescents and adults learn PowerPoint
differently?

• Adolescents
• Mastery of the tool
• Need for high level applications
• More guidance needed in speaking techniques, less
  in technology

• Adults
• Minimal knowledge of tools (i.e. computer
  competency)
• Step by step progression through the application
• Less guidance in speaking, more in technology
