PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS OF INSTRUCTIONAL
PROGRAM
Speaker Larry Wright, MSLS, PhD, National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences, RTP. Field trip to NIEHS. Meet
behind Bynum Hall at 1:00 p.m.. We will
return to class from NIEHS at about 3.
Review of Classroom Instructional Development Models.
Consideration of goals and objectives. What makes a good teacher?
Presentation: James
Kelly
Readings (for tomorrow): McKeachie (on reserve), chapter 3,
"Meeting a Class for the First Time," also skim Part III, chapters 9-18
for different activities and methods of teaching. Go to the CTL publications site and
read either FYC 2, FYC 14, or FYC 18 about learning activities and
assignments. Two items on the reading list also look promising --
Bopp and Brewer.
Exercise: Review the 8 exercises in Section IV of Gradowski
considering one or a combination of the four classroom models for
teaching/learning described in Gustafson (Chapter 3). Many do not specify
objectives, for example, or methods of evaluating results. Select one of
the exercises, a
promising one in your opinion, and develop one or two behavioral
objectives and/or a method of evaluating that will give the instuctor
feedback about whether the students have met the objectives and whether
they found the lesson valuable (cognitive and affective).

Presentations: ??
Readings: Read about some of the basic techniques of
teaching, for example McKeachie (on reserve) Chapters 4,
"Organizing Effective Discussions," and 5, "Lecturing," or some of
the CTL For Your Consideration articles (FYC 6, FYC 12).
Some useful articles from the reading list include Arnold,
Kilcullen. Other readings on the topic are, of course, of
interest.

Sciences Library site. Look particularly at the five sites
under Instruction/Classes. Prepare your questions for Julia

program. What makes a good web tutorial?
Readings: Chapter 5 of Gustafson. Compare the IDI model for
developing a course to
the Microsoft Model as explained by Leo Yakutis (see his first
handout). Other readings from reading list that may be of interest
include Heckart, Kaplowitz & Contini, Martorama & Doyle, Nipp,
Peterson, Tallent, Tompkins et al, Wakiji & Thomas.
Exercise: Look at the "Evaluating Online
Information" model developed by the HSL library (especially the way it
treats topics like
information overload, skimming, copyright, etc.) Also check the
Poster session on "Touring
the Modules" from one on HSL presentations. And finally, check
out the tutorial entitled "Library
Basic Training" created by folks at the UNC-CH Undergraduate
Library._
