Assignment 1: Two Lesson Plans Enter; One Lesson Plan Leaves

Due Week 6 and worth 400 points

In this assignment, you will write two lesson plans on the same material using two different learning theories of technology. For the first lesson plan, you will design a lesson using technology that follows one of the 20th century theories of learning technology and its pedagogy:

• behaviorist learning theory
• cognitivist learning theory
• constructivist learning theory

For the second lesson plan, you will design a lesson teaching the same material but using a 21st century theory of learning technology and pedagogy:

• connectivism learning theory
• collaboratist learning theory

Your assignment will be a 4 – 6 page paper (not including your lesson plans) that compares and contrasts your lessons.

1. First, you will write your two lesson plans. You must include:

• An introduction for both lessons, which includes:
  • A summary of topic and lesson content
  • Demographics of students
  • A description of the learning environment (public school, corporate training, online classroom, etc.)
  • Lesson goals and objectives
• Each lesson plan must include:
  • Materials and resources (can be different for each lesson)
  • A lesson outline
  • Any homework or other assigned work for the lesson
  • How you will assess the lesson (It does not have to be a formal assessment. It can be through observation, directed questions, finished product, etc.)
  • A technology that you will use as part of your teaching strategy.
    • You can teach your entire lesson with this technology or use it for part of your lesson.
    • You can use different technology for each lesson.

2. Then, you will discuss each lesson and explain:

• The learning theory and pedagogy you used.
• How your teaching strategy, activities, and assessment model the learning theory and pedagogy.
• How the technology for that lesson reflects the learning theory and pedagogy.

3. Next, you will compare and contrast:

• The strengths and weaknesses of each lesson.
• The challenges of using each method.
• Practical issues of using each method in the real world.

4. Lastly, you will explain which lesson you think works better for teaching the content and why, from a learning theory perspective.

5. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

• Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

6. Go to research.strayer.edu and provide at least five (5) references that support your analysis.

• At least three of these sources need to be from the past two (2) years.
• The rest of the sources must be from within the last five (5) years.
• Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The course objectives for this assignment are:

• Apply various learning theories to real world situations involving technology.
• Analyze differences between student- and teacher-centered learning strategies.
• Analyze the effects of technology in different instructional settings.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in designing, developing, and evaluating educational technologies.
• Write clearly and concisely about issues in designing, developing, and evaluating educational technologies.
