3. Industrial RevolutionImplications of the 4IR

4. Implications of the 4IR
Changes in education, economic, social, cultural, and
human environments, at the contemporary period, to
converge with technology.
The educational sphere provides the training and
formation of learners who spearheads the creation of
technologies.
The formation process would heavily require learning
experiences that is closely integrated with technologies.

5. Implications of the 4IR
• Example of learning experiences:
– Online discussion boards
– Supplementary online learning resources for
the learners to study
– Teaching strategies and models implemented
in learning management systems
– Communicating with classmates and teachers
online
– Accomplishing school tasks making use of
online applications
Implications of the 4IR

6. Implications of the 4IR
• Technology is not limited to use of tablets and
internet, technology refers to:
– (1) scientific knowledge generated in the schools
(constructivist perspective),
– (2) mediums how these scientific information are
disseminated (information dissemination and
multimedia),
– (3) transforming these information to structures that
can be understood by people in different fields
(scientific communication),
– (4) using the existing models to be expanded to
advance models (future perspectives),
Implications of the 4IR

7. Implications of the 4IR
Technology refers to:
 (5) using the present theories and models to ask
further questions (natural curiosity of learning via
discovery),
• (6) generating efficient ways to execute and
conduct processes (e. g. Better ways of studying
and reading),
• (7) building models and concepts to explain a
phenomenon (student activities, policy
formulations),
• (8) creating a set of concepts to understanding
cause and effect relationship (educational
programs)
Implications of the 4IR

8. Implications of the 4IR
Technology refers to:
• (9) comparing events and systems in order to
come up with an enhanced system (students
activities),
• (10) formulating strategies and products to
solve problems (investigative projects), and
• (11) attitudes with future time perspective
(character formation and lifelong learning).
Implications of the 4IR

9. What skills do we assess?
• Learners need to be prepared
to:
– be flexible in their future careers,
– create knowledge,
– think critically to verify valid
information, and
– communicate well with others
• The characteristics of the
learners reflects the 21st century

30. How do we assess?
• Written and Performance-based
• Formative and summative

31. How do we assess?
• 1. When checking individual work of several
learners
• 2. When providing feedback on learners’
individual work
• 3. When checking group performance
• 4. Checking for integrated skills in culminating
tasks
How do we assess?

32. How do we assess?
• 1. When checking individual work of several
students
• Use of individual boards
• When a correct answer is required with one
problem for all students, they can write their
answers in a small white board or blackboard and
they raise their answers.
• The teacher is able to easily detect learners who
still needs more practice.
• When students use tablets, they may doodle
their answers and raise the tablets.
How do we assess?

33. How do we assess?
• 1. When checking individual work of several
students
• Use clickers
• An online platform is provided by the teacher
where the question is contained.
• Students select their answers in their mobile
devices.
• The screen displays who among the students
got the correct and incorrect answers.
How do we assess?

34. How do we assess?
• 1. When checking individual work of several
students
• Reading sample works
• When long answers with some explanations are
required by the teacher, the learners write their
answers in a piece of paper.
• The teacher collects the papers and reads the
answers one by one in front so that immediate
feedback can be given.
• This is also a good way to introduce some
concepts while the answers are read.
How do we assess?

35. How do we assess?
• 1. When checking individual work of several students
• Display and feedback on works
• When the responses of students are lengthy and
complex such as essays and research, the teacher can
flash the work of the students on the board with
comments and corrections.
• The teacher spends time explaining the feedback and
suggests ways on how to improve the papers.
• The teacher can detail the suggestions for
improvement.
• This is done as part of the lesson.
How do we assess?

36. How do we assess?
• 2. When providing feedback on learners’ individual
work
• Portfolio
• After the drafts of an entry is collected in a portfolio,
the teachers schedules some time with the learners.
• The teacher shows the progress of the learner from the
first draft to the latest.
• The teacher asks questions about the insight of the
learner in each entry.
• The session is ended by asking future strategies of the
learner to further improve the skill.
How do we assess?

37. How do we assess?
• 2. When providing feedback on learners’
individual work
• Discussion board
• Students can upload their work in a Learning
Management System and the classmates and
the teacher provides their feedback in a
discussion board.
• The students can upload an improved version
and others can see the improvements done.
How do we assess?

38. How do we assess?
• 2. When providing feedback on learners’
individual work
• Self-checklist
• Before the students perform a task, the checklist
is provided to them and they rate their own work.
• Afterwards, the teacher compares their rating
using the same checklist to the students’ ratings.
• The teacher explains if there are discrepancies.
How do we assess?

39. How do we assess?
• 3. When checking group performance
• Group feedback
• After the performance, the teacher spends
time giving feedback on the performance.
• The feedback provided is based on the give
criteria.

40. • 3. When checking group performance
• Round robin
• To determine the contribution of each
member, each of them rates each others’
contribution and the teacher consolidates.
How do we assess?

41. • 3. When checking group performance
• Process monitoring
• While the learners are doing the task, the
teachers go around with a copy of the
checklist and provide feedback on the process.
• This avoids major drawback on the final
product because errors are immediately
corrected during the process.
How do we assess?

42. • 4. Checking for integrated skills in culminating
tasks
• Pre-final performance
• Before the final performance on the summative
assessment, the group is provided with an
opportunity to perform.
• Feedback is provided at the end of the
performance and the learners list down the
feedback to make changes and improvement for
the final performance.
How do we assess?

43. • 4. Checking for integrated skills in culminating
tasks
• Video Recording of a performance task
• The culminating activity contains complex
integrated skills and all the necessary skills
may not be captured at a short period of time.
• The performance can have a recorded version
so that the rater can play and replay segments
of the performance when rating.
How do we assess?

44. • 4. Checking for integrated skills in culminating
tasks
• Using separate rubrics for each task
• Having several rubrics or rating scales can be
used when rating multiple skills in one
performance.
• If a performance task would require a
presentation and a written report.
• Two rubrics can be used for each task.
