Here is the second poster in my ‘Revisiting Learning Design’ series of posts. Understanding what our students bring in terms of understandings, beliefs, misconceptions, prior knowledge etc is important. It gives us a foundation, a starting point for a topic and assists us with what direction we might take with that topic.

Importantly we must plan how we will elicit this information from our students. Having a range of strategies to find out this information is an important part of our job as teachers.

All information in the posters is taken from the Learning Design documents created by the DECD Teaching and Learning Services. Click here to visit the acleadersresource.sa.edu.au site.
