Case Study: Enhancing Your Teaching by Connecting Theory to Practice and Practice to Theory
As an educator in the digital age, engaging students amidst numerous distractions was a daunting task. I grappled with myriad difficulties related to both in-person and online learning. A balanced approach eluded me until I collaborated with Dr. Michael A. Wright of MAWMedia Group.
The team, skillful in creating impactful courses, showed me an enlightened path toward effective teaching methods. Dr. Wright’s sociocybernetic control model of education (SCME) conceptualization became my guiding light, prompting a transformation of my approach. It prompted interactive dialogues, offered exploration of numerous options, assessed my unique teaching context, and helped implement novel and dynamic changes, all with consistent support. Simply put, the facilitation became the innovation with the student inspired to lead with curiosity.
The foundation was laid with the identification of the theoretical framework, essentially aligning the course operations with the necessary knowledge, values, and skills. Next, the course's content was structured, weaving a coherent narrative to help students comprehend the relationship between various components. Lastly, attention was pivoted to the creation of assessments, providing an encouraging environment for students to apply learned theoretical concepts interactively.
The effects of these changes were striking. I was able to foster a more engaging and effective learning environment that boosted active participation, whether the students were learning in-person or online. There was a palpable increase in student engagement and understanding of the course material.
