Learner factors that may impact learner-centered instruction.

Analyzing the student learners is a means to identify the learner characteristics that will likely impact the process and outcomes of the learning experience.

Factors	Description	Advantage or Constraint		Initial Ideas for Maximizing Positive Factors or Minimizing Negative Factors
Age / Academic Range	10-11		-	Plan for collaborative opportunities to allow group interaction.
Sex Distribution	M/F	+
Racial, Ethnic Diversity	Caucasion	+
Educational Level	5th grade	+
Disability or Impairment	N/A	+
Developmentally Appropriate	Consistent with age		-	Circulate the lab to make sure they are on task.
Prerequisite Knowledge	Word Processing		-	Make sure they have notes from lecture and video.
Related Experience	Prior knowledge of PowerPoint	+
Perception of Role as Student	Enthusiastic learner	+
Motivation for Learning	Take pleasure in technology use	+
Attitude Toward Subject	Excited	+		Make available extended exercises for G/T students
Expectations from Session	Prsentation of problem solving strategies from their math lessons.	+
Competitiveness	Very competitive	+
Environment factors that may impact learner-centered instruction. Analyzing the environment is a means to identify the issues that will impact the (a) process of the design and production, (b) implementation, and (c) outcomes of the learning experience
Factors	Description	Advantage or Constraint		Initial Ideas for Maximizing Positive Factors or Minimizing Negative Factors
Design and Production Factors:
Budget Available	NA	+		No budget is required for the lesson so instruction will not be limited.
Materials Required	Sample PowerPoint Rubric handout		-	Tteacher will create one grading rubric.
Production Equipment Available	Windows XP lab, Data projector/laptop cart		-	Lecture will occur in classroom. Video streaming and mulitmedia work in elem computer lab.
Time for Design and Production	30 minutes biweekly for the multimedia work.	+
Department Technology Requirements	Assistance			Computer lab aide will assist.
Implementation Factors:
Class Size	16		-	Students will have assigned seating.
Class Period Length	30 minutes once a week or bi-weekly	+		Students will learn math lesson daily til the end of the chapter. About every 2 weeks they finish a chapter at that point they will work in the lab to create their slides. They will view streaming video as needed.
Location	Elem computer lab	+		Create slides about problem solving strategies from their notes.
Seating Arrangement	Computers are along three walls.	+		Increased monitoring.
Lighting	NA	+		NA
Temperature	NA	+		NA
Noise	Lab is down the hall.	+
Equipment	25 Windows XP machines with Internet access	+

Co-worker Needs	Technology Instruction	+		NA
Student Needs	Learn & reflect upon problem solving strategies	+
Other Factors:

Content factors that may impact learner-centered instruction. Analyzing the content is a means to identify in general terms the topics to be addressed in your course and to analyze these topics in terms of the prequisite sub-topics, and degree of learning difficulty
Main Topics	Sub-Topics (What Is Involved In Learning Each Main Topic?)	Readiness To Learn (Prerequisites Mastered)	Degree of Learning Difficulty (Real / Imagined)	Possible Instructional Strategies to Reduce or Manage Learning Difficulty
Identify problem solving strategies	The teacher will lecture on problem solving strategies. Then the teacher will setup the streaming video about problem solving strategies.	Enhance math lesson, note taking skills, multimedia skills	The task will be relatively easy.	Communication with teacher.
Give an oral presentation about problem solving strategies.	The teacher will give an oral demonstration presentation using the multimedia cart. The learners will be reflecting upon the problem solving strategies they have learned. They will be sharing their strategies with others.	Reflection of problem solving strategies that match the math lesson.	The task may be harder for some students.	Demonstration of an oral presentation using the multimedia cart.
