Which one of the following statements best describes knowledge construction?

• Knowledge construction activities require learners to generate ideas and understandings that are new to them

• Knowledge construction activities involve using multiple information sources to create new knowledge

• Knowledge construction activities involve learners presenting what they’ve learned in new ways

Which one of the following are prerequisites for self-regulation to take place?

• Learners have the opportunity to plan their own work and revise work based on feedback

• Learners have the opportunity to set the learning goals and associated success criteria in advance

• The learning activity is long-term, and learners are aware of the learning goals and associated success criteria in advance

• The learning activity is long-term and learner's work is interdependent

Consider the following activity: Each learner is asked to create a webpage about signs of climate change in their area over the past 20 years. The pages will be linked to the class homepage. Is the learners’ work considered interdependent?

• No, because the learners don't have to strategise together in order to complete the overall task

• Yes, because each learner is responsible for the content of their page, which must be completed for the group to do its work

• Yes, because the overall task is dependent on each learner successfully completing their individual webpages

• Yes, because each learner's page will be linked to the class homepage

Consider the following activity: Learners analyse climate data from their locality and then analyse climate data from a second location of their choice. Are learners being required to apply their knowledge?

• Yes, because learners are analyzing data from different sources

• No, because learners are simply repeating the same activity with a different dataset

• No, because learners haven’t gathered the data themselves

When a learning activity for self-regulation codes a two, what qualities does the learning activity have?

• The learning activity is long-term and learners do have learning goals and associated success criteria in advance of completing their work, but they do not have the opportunity to plan their own work

• The learning activity is long-term and learners do have learning goals and associated success criteria in advance of completing their work, and they do plan their own work

• The learning activity is long-term and learners do have learning goals and associated success criteria in advance of completing their work, and they have the opportunity to revise their work based on feedback

Which activity is knowledge construction?

• Learners writing a paper describing the crime a character committed

• Learners writing a paper that compares and contrasts information from multiple sources

• Learners writing a paper that describes information they found online or in books

Over the course of two weeks, learners work in groups to research and debate climate change with their classmates. In which of the following scenarios are they planning their own work?

• The educator allows learners to revise their work based on feedback from their classmates

• Learners follow the timeline provided by the educator and decide how they will present to their classmates

• Learners decide who will research which aspects of the topic and who will speak at different points in the debate

Based on the 21CLD rubrics, what does the code assigned to a learning activity reflect?

• How strongly the learning activity offers opportunities to develop a given skill

• How well a given skill is being taught in the learning activity

• How strong the learning activity is in terms of learner engagement

What are 21st Century Skills?
