This document summarizes an educational program for new environmental NGO members. [1] It outlines the learning process which includes lectures, discussions, practical activities, and remote lessons to convey professional knowledge and find solutions to environmental problems. [2] It identifies issues in hard technologies like spatial constraints and soft technologies like instructor-centered classes. [3] It applies the Dick & Carey instructional design model to analyze learners, set goals, and identify objectives like providing systematic education and promoting information sharing to address issues.
4. 1. Preface
• Target
Multinational university students who
newly joined an environmental non-
governmental organization(NGO)
• Learning process
Lecture, discussion, practical activity,
and remote lesson.
5. 1. Preface
• conveys professional • finding appropriate
knowledge solutions of specific
environmental
problems
LECTURE DISCUSSION
REMOTE PRCTICAL
LESSONS ACTIVITIES
• review • apply several feasible
solutions to real world
• students who cannot join
can participate
6. 1. Preface
• Lecture
Each environmental expert conveys professional knowledge to the learners using up-to-date
technologies which facilitate learning in the lecture process.
• Discussion
Discussion process includes the activities of finding appropriate solutions of specific
environmental problems. In discussion process, active interactions not only among members in
each group but among groups are highly recommended and planned for sharing solutions.
• Practical activities
In the process of doing practical activities, learners can directly apply several feasible solutions
to the virtual problematic situations.
• Remote lessons
In the process of remote lessons, students who actually be involved in the previous processes
can review all of the things at home. In addition, students who cannot join in the processes
because of spatial constraints also can participate in every processes at home.
8. 2. Present situation
• & Problems
Global village faces a lot of serious environmental
pollution.
This drives collaborations beyond borders
√ Many difficulties of educating people about
environment and solving problems.
√Problems in hard technology and soft technology
9. Hard technology Soft technology
√ Spatial Constraint
√ Instructor-centered class
√ Unpredictability of the Solutions
√ Lack of systematic
√ Lack of Diversity of Educational curriculums
Media
√ Inefficient Discussion
14. 3. Dick & Carey Model
• (1) Identifying Instructional Goals
There are difficulties of the environmental NGO
education in aspects of hard technology and soft
technology.
15. 3. Dick & Carey Model
• (2) Conducting Instructional Analysis
Analyses of instructor characteristic
1) Instructor : Environmental experts.
2) Spatial background : They are far from the place where
the learners are.
3) Competence : Abundant professional knowledge about
environment
Ability of organizing the content in the class
according to the needs of learners.
16. 3. Dick & Carey Model
• (3) Analyzing Learners / Environments
1) Learner : Learners are a group of university
students who newly joined an environmental
organization.
2) Spatial background : Far from the place where the
instructors are. Learners gather to participate in the
face-to-face education program for new members. There
are some learners who cannot gather because of the
spatial limitations; however, they can participate in this
program using technologies
17. 3. Dick & Carey Model
• (3) Analyzing Learners / Environments
3) Physical ability : Having enough basic physical abilities to
perform practical activities and enough cognitive ability of
getting to think practical solutions of environmental problems
by applying the contents of learning.
4) Prior knowledge : Learners are the university students who
have much interest in environmental problems. They have
basic knowledge but do not have deep and professional
knowledge about this fields.
18. 3. Dick & Carey Model
• (3) Analyzing Learners / Environments
Analyses of learning environment
√Spatial constraints between instructors and
learners; learners and learners.
√There are also technical constraints; therefore,
appropriate technologies and equipment are
needed.
19. 3. Dick & Carey Model
• (4) Identifying Performance Objectives
√ Making NGO members receive
professional and systematic education
√ Promoting mutual exchange of opinions
& information
√ Solving problems of in efficient
discussion processes.
