Hello Everyone,Is my pleasure to introduce myself here. My name is Yufei Li. I come from China. This is my first term in the UVIC, my major is Economics. For my hobby I prefer to play games when I do not have somethings need to do. I will try do my best for this course. Thanks a lot.

1.Behaviorism: Slowly explain the historical background of the Vietnam War, the course of the war and its post-war influence to students in the classroom. Tell all this information to the students and let them remember. Then you can ask questions in class, for example, in what year did the war break out? Let students consolidate their memories. You can also assign homework after class to recall what you have learned in class and deepen your memory.

Cognitiveism: The way of asking questions is used to give lectures in the classroom. For example, why did this war break out? How many countries participated in the war? This allows students to use their own knowledge to answer questions. For example, the general war is caused by the dissatisfaction of two countries. Then tell the correct answer, let the students deepen the influence. You can watch the video to arouse interest. Finally, ask the students questions to ensure that they have absorbed the knowledge effectively.

Constructivism: Arrange for students to learn about the Vietnam War tomorrow so that everyone can understand. You can use the computer to inquire about the information, and you can also inquire about the parents. In class, students who are prepared can come on stage to explain, exercise expression skills, and participate in the learning process. Provide help and correction where the statement is incorrect. Or if there is something you don’t understand, a group discussion can get the answer.

2. Examples in life: Avoid puddles when walking

Behaviorist: When walking, tell child should avoid puddles.

Cognitive: Tell the child that we should avoid pebbles when walking. Because the water will stain your shoes, clothes and pants. Make you feel really uncomfortable. We need back home to change new shoes and clothed.

Constructivist: Do not tell child any things about that. When child stepped on the puddle and soiled your clothes. Tell child do not do that.

3. I think the current teaching style is more of a behaviorist, because we are now learning more to deal with exams, get high scores and go to a good university. Most of the teachers ask the students to preview before class. After the class, they will talk about the knowledge and test points. They don’t care whether the students are really absorbed, and start the next part of the lecture. After class, they just assign homework. . Some students have to spend a lot of time to understand the homework if they do not really understand in class, so that knowledge can strengthen the memorization. Therefore, students can make correct answers and responses only when the test environment is stimulated.

Experiential learning is to acquire knowledge or skills through personal experience, allowing learners to fully participate in the learning process to accumulate experience. For example, in junior high school, there were some chemistry experiment classes. The teacher asked the students to perform some experiments by themselves, so that the students could learn the knowledge by themselves. This method is consistent with the theme of  Nutrition that I chose, Because we can learn about nutrition firsthand and why nutrition is becoming more and more popular in contemporary society.

The characteristics of the experiential learning method are: First, let learners learn actively, and require learners to become the main body of the teaching process and actively participate in the experience process. The second learning thing can be applied to another place, through the gradual practice process, learning knowledge and accumulating experience, can solve future problems. Third, it makes teaching interesting. This method allows teachers to teach in a way that can stimulate students’ interest, and students change from passive learning to active learning with interest.

I think cooperative learning and experiential learning are most suitable for the topics involved in blueprints and interactive learning resources, because this is a relatively large task and requires everyone to cooperate to discuss ideas and put forward opinions. Then participate in the process of this homework together, and if there is a problem in the middle, you can raise it together and actively correct it. After the homework is completed, experience will be accumulated. The advantage of direct guidance is that it solves problems faster and has the highest efficiency: the advantage of inquiry learning is to increase interest and have different ideas; the advantage of cooperative learning is to promote teamwork and improve work efficiency; the advantage of experiential learning is to learn from experience Can accumulate experience.

The diversity of my interactive learning resources, the way of narration, activities and homework. For example, we can talk about the resources face-to-face at the same time, record them and upload them to a designated website, so that learners who cannot participate this time can watch them online. For another example, we can use some questions to examine whether learners understand, and for learners who cannot write, we can launch a voice operating system to help learners learn better. Only diversification can meet the needs of all learners as much as possible.

When there is a need to work or work on the Internet, we will first register a website and publish the contents of the materials we need. Then we will record a detailed video to train employees how to use this website, where to see the work assignments, where to come for real-time meetings, where to discuss with employees, etc., each place will be explained slowly. At the same time, leave the consultation phone number or email address, and if there are employees who don’t understand, they can ask in time. As far as possible to meet the needs of employees working from home.

My activity is to learn about nutrition, Understand why people are more and more interested in nutrition in contemporary society and the benefits of nutrition in our lives. The obstacle is that many middle-aged and elderly people always pay little attention to nutrition, and they are even less good at using the Internet. We cannot transmit knowledge to them. The knowledge about nutrition on the Internet is only one-sided. We need to continuously improve this knowledge. More people understand nutrition

We can break through obstacles by giving encouragement to learners. Many people are unwilling to spend time learning new things, but we can give encouragement in kind, guide learners, and arouse learners’ interest in this area.

Double Scissors: This is a pair of scissors that can be used with both left and right hands. This is the same as we design learning methods. We try our best to meet the needs of everyone to ensure the fairness and comprehensiveness of learning.

I searched on YouTube for my interactive learning design topic: Nutrition. There are a lot of knowledge about nutrition and a lot of videos published by nutritionists. When learners see these videos, they may watch and learn carefully. Think about how to make your future life more full of nutrition.

After watching the video, I suggest that they can search for more videos about nutrition to see what are the differences or similarities. Because everyone’s understanding of nutrition is different. This kind of activity helps learners understand the characteristics of nutrition more comprehensively. It is recommended that students use YouTube in these activities, because YouTube contains a wider range of things and can be used in most areas.

I can provide students with explanations of nutrition from different nutritionists. This way it is easier for students to find and perform comparative analysis. Similarly, I will also publish some of my own views on nutrition and knowledge of nutrition for students’ reference. If the students have different ideas, you can also communicate with me. You can get in touch with me by e-mail.

This activity will not bring too much homework, similar to pre-class preparation, so that learners can more comprehensively accept knowledge and understanding. This event is better managed. Everyone will exchange and discuss, and a link will be given.

Learners can communicate in time if they have any problems. Of course, before the activity starts, we will also experience the process of students’ activities to find and solve problems. Ensure that potential obstacles to learners are resolved as early as possible.

By reading your interactive learning material, I really want to say that you have done a great job, clearly organized, so that students are more interested in learning your courses. First of all, through your slides, let me know what are the two learning methods of Cognitivist Theory and Constructivism Theory. These two ways are very new. As you guys said “you will implement inquiry-based learning as our learning designin this course. We will do this by shifting the traditional teacher teaches and the student listens role to student to student discussions.” Can make students learn more easily and vividly. It is easier to arouse the interest of students.

At the same time, the topic you chose is also very unique. I have to say that this is the first time I have heard of this topic. It can also make more students interested.

You also used a lot of Methods of instructions such as YouTube and PowerPoint to make the course less boring

It is difficult to find the shortcomings in your slides, but when I read it, one thing that made me very distressed is that there is too much text in some slides, such as page 7, page 8, page 18. To be honest, when I opened this page of slides, I didn’t want to read on. It would make the students lose a lot of interest and make them abandon this course.

But all in all, your course is very successful and has many advantages worthy of everyone to learn.
