My most recent post featured locus of control theory, and today's post is about the Pygmalion Effect in education. If you wish to delve deeper, you are advised to read the associated literature and sources. The theory Robert Rosethal and Leonora Jacobson conducted studies in American schools during the 1960s focused on the effect teachers can have on the learning performances of children. This is number 36 in my continuing series of blog posts about learning theories.

They see us in the context of their job, their role in the community, their entire history with us, their knowledge of us, their experiences with others they consider like us, those we associate with, and much more. This means that learning and development (L&D) professionals must understand not one, not two, but three significantly different perspectives when addressing performance needs in the workplace. Training may be needed to address performance gaps.

I’m not talking about the monetary value of a social share (which business people are keen on doing ), but rather the less tangible value that comes from sharing knowledge, making an individual more productive, effective, and efficient. In other words, the value that is manifest in the form of improved personal performance in the workplace. On its face, sharing knowledge seems illogical and associated with giving something away.

Some LMSs offer advanced features that support performance management and social learning opportunities. Common with higher education institutions, a MOOC has an instructor, includes beginning and end dates over a series of weeks, and all participants start together and go through the learning experience together. Common MOOC platforms include: Coursera. Augmented reality takes a view of a real environment and augments it with additional information or effects.

By understanding how an employee spends his day, the educator can identify whether their performance is a result of being well-matched to their job, or whether they may requires further skills training. And lastly, asking this kind of question can help identify whether the learner has real interest in improving their performance. Tell me a little about an education program that you watched or attended that made a difference in your performance.

Teachers have always had an interesting association with technology. Technology, just like any other set of tools, is there to help us all to do the job better, smarter, more effectively. Just don''t ever make it appear to be special - the most effective educational technologies fade into the background as learning, and the student, take centre stage. Technology, just like any other set of tools, is there to help the user perform.

Ipsative assessment is not a commonly known method, and yet most of us use it just about every day to measure ourselves. Here''s what Wikipedia says (and it''s accurate): In education, ipsative assessment is the practice of assessing present performance against the prior performance of the person being assessed. One place where this might be implemented is in reference to tests used with K-12 students in the United States, where teacher performance is currently popular.

So it was quite timely when new research from Bersin and Associates came out this month. The best learning organizations are shedding that “order-taker” role and becoming more like performance consultants, and they’re working with businesses to find alternatives to formal training. Social learning interventions are an innovative way to reach more people, with fewer resources, and in a way that’s likely to be highly effective.

In effect, through the use of social media and telecommunication technologies, these teachers are becoming global educators. Webinar tools include Elluminate (now known as Blackboard Collaborate), WebEx and Adobe Connect all of which have similar screen topographies and perform similar functions, but all have an associated cost. It's asynchronous, but can still be a highly effective way of sending quality content to distributed student groups.

Effective Metrics for Learning and Development I wonder what Shaw would think if he saw the way learning and development is predominantly measured in organisations today. For example a study of 829 companies over 31 years showed diversity training had "no positive effects in the average workplace." " The study reported that mandatory training sometimes has a positive effect, but overall has a negative effect.

I wonder about this, for scaffolding is important for the effectiveness of resources that are used. There has been some special aura associated with the term instructional designer. Theres a line in the Jack Black movie "School of Rock" thats not original but is a common joke in the education field. The term Instructional Design I belive is a set of universally agreed guidelines for developing learning material which has been tried, tested and proved effective by veterans.

I associate that style with video games and super-hero comics, which continue to be mostly "guy" things. If SL has this effect on other women, then it wont be the most effective place to send female employees as part of an elearning experience. However, ideas taken from Second Life, minus the cultural trappings, could be effective. Its also possible that as more video games appeal to women, women will develop better associations with the "look" of Second Life.
