Implications of a Learners’ View (ALV) for Practice

A Learners’ View (ALV) Is Of Choices On The Shortest And Fastest Path To Learning, The Oxygen Of Social Life.

Main Page: Implications of a Learners’ View (ALV) of Choices during Teaching and Learning

Theme: Use data and procedures that likely lead to learning.

Implications for Teachers

1. Increases the odds that learners will learn lessons teachers teach.
2. Predictable choices serve as active ingredients of learning (AIL) for planning, instructing, and assessing lessons (PIAL) that AID learning.
3. AILs included in a lesson increase the likelihood that learners will learn that lesson.
4. Start lesson plans by choosing which AILs to build include in a lesson in order to increase the odds of AIDing learning that lesson.
5. Closer match between what lessons offer and what learners do while learning.
6. Lessons can occur in seconds, not in minutes, class periods, or longer.
7. Requires a vocabulary that describes teaching-learning as social (observable and manageable) processes.
8. Increases confidence that instruction will likely lead to learners learning lessons.
9. Protocols for ALV lessons reduce guesses (trials-and-errors) of teachers.
10. Protocols for ALV lessons are grounded in experimental research data and procedures.

Implications for School Administrators

1. Provide resources (time, places, software, etc.) for teachers and curriculum supervisors to assemble the various lists and protocols to use a learners view (ALV).
2. Adjust evaluation of educators to match the performance standard for educators.
3. Adjust recruitment of educators to fit the use of ALV to meet the performance standard for educators.

Implications for Ancillary School Personnel

1. Adjust procedures, forms, schedules, and in other ways operationalize procedures to fit protocols for teachers using ALV while teaching.
2. Formalize self-evaluations against the performance standard for educators.

USE OF A LEARNERS’ VIEW (ALV) OF CHOICES DURING TEACHING AND LEARNING IMPLIES a path, named the ALV Path, for all students to learn all lessons taught. ALV represents predictable choices that learners make while learning from a finite set of physical sensory options. Learners have shown scientists which of these senses they likely select to identify and use to solve problems. This path starts with an operational definition of learning as social processes. This definition describes ways for educators to use it, so all learners learn all lessons taught.

Descriptions of ALV, learning, and the ALV Path while learning originate in experimental behavioral and social science research.

Implications of Monitoring Risk of Failure to Learn (RFL)

INTRODUCTION OF ALV (a learners’ view) opened ways to describe and measure risks of learners failing to learn (RFL) a lesson. RFL exists as the difference between what is possible and actual academic performance of learners. Risks reside in choices of teachers for the lesson. Use of ALV elements of learning permits measuring affects of choices of teachers on the likelihood of learning occurring. Main risks which contribute to RFL: Read More

Implications for Costs to Teach and to Learn

THE USE OF ALV opens ways to calculate costs to teachers to teach lessons and to learners to learn lessons. ALV also offers ways to assess and compare benefits teachers and learners obtain from those lessons. Read More
