My philosophical strategy to teaching has undergone big paradigm shifts due to the fact I began teaching 3 decades ago. The improvement of a teaching philosophy encapsulating the attributes of an Allen Big, as opposed to Ingvar Kamprad, was a monumental accident. On the other hand, this does not degrade the worth (possibly not IKEA billions) of this philosophy. So how does this philosophy correlate to an Allen Major?
The 1st aspect of the Allen Significant that reflects this toolhardy philosophy is the shape. A normal shaped hexagon has six lines equal in length and six equal angles. This predilection for six inspired me to create the Six Degrees of Contemplation™, the nucleus of the A.K.T.P™. My contemplations are -
- communication
- studying designs
- integrated project primarily based understanding supplies
- ownership
- motivation
- equitable partnership in between teacher and learner.
- (I will cover each of these contemplations in upcoming articles.)
Secondly, in addition to becoming a standard shape, the Allen Major comes in various sizes. I've coined the phrase "...one tool suits all..." (unlike one size fits all), to clarify the premise behind utilizing the exact same subject and activities for a multi-levelled class (post secondary). For instance, Level 1 literacy and numeracy students would create a receipt - record the products, expenses and calculate general price, whilst Level three would record products and so on, but they would also calculate discounts and GST (Overall Solutions Tax).
The interconnectedness of this shape is my third purpose for employing the Allen Big as the basis of my philosophy. This interconnectedness straight relates to my viewpoint of integrating subjects inside one mastering context. No one topic region stands alone outdoors in the genuine globe, so why cocoon them in the educational setting.
My fourth rationale for creating this philosophy becoming, the Allen Major is a multifunctional tool. It is not just for erecting an IKEA kitchen, stool, chair and so on, It's extensively utilized in numerous other industries and locations e.g. cycling to construct and preserve bikes, or in developing. This tool lends itself to a coalesce of studying and teaching components inside a provided educational / schooling / instruction framework. Let me give you an instance from my teaching - building literacy and numeracy expertise by embedding them in a vocationally connected subject e.g. horticulture.
To sum up my A.K.T.P™ -
- the six angles of the Allen Significant represent my Six Degrees of Contemplation™
- the lines, each external and internal, represent the interconnectedness of my philosophy
- the one tool suits all aspect, considers the use of one activity with diverse components for students with varying talent levels
- the many sizes of the Allen Significant, relates to the identical tool getting able to be utilised for unique applications
- the multifunctional aspect corresponds with the integration of distinct topic places into one contextualised project primarily based studying resource
- and, working with one tool simplifies the improvement and delivery of teaching supplies.
