Psychology 101: Informal Learning and Technology

Purposes & Expectations:
Participating in development of the class evaluation

Purpose:
To assume ownership and responsibility for your own learning. We think that the class evaluation is aimed to communicate:

• to you how what you have learned in the class meets your goals and expectations;
• to you what progress you made in the class:
  • in learning about informal learning and technology,
  • in making ethnographic research in developmental psychology (including writing field notes),
  • in learning how to help ethnically diverse children in an informal setting of working with computers and telecommunication,
  • in discussing and articulating your ideas at class meetings and via the Web site,
  • in learning via WWW telecommunication,
  • in learning how to work in groups,
  • in providing feedback and discussing ideas and field notes of your fellow students,
  • in presenting findings of your research,
  • in learning how to discuss and integrate literature and evidence in your research,
  • in building a community of researchers,
  • in learning how to build trusting and supporting relations with studied community of children at Barrios Unidos,
  • in learning how to help Instructor and TAs to provide guidance and design a class.
    
• to other people what you have learned in the class;
• to other people about your new level of expertise in the developmental psychology areas of informal learning and technology and ethnographic research;
• to other people about your new level of skills in management of your own learning from and with other people.

Our expectations:
We expect you to help us to develop the class evaluation narrative that will be meaningful for yourself and other people who may request it (see Syllabus: Evaluation)
