Quick takeaways

  • Check failures as system failures first for effective problem-solving.
  • Implement two versions of 'start to finish' tasks to prevent copying and enhance individual assessment validity.

Deep dives

The Three-phase Work Example Framework

In the proposed framework, the first phase consists of the 'I do' model where the teacher leads the example and checks for student listening. The second phase involves a step-by-step approach for students to independently work on specific aspects of the example. The third phase introduces a 'start to finish' task called the 'tick trick' where students complete the entire example on their own. A potential variation includes having two versions of the 'start to finish' task where pairs complete different versions and then exchange books for mutual evaluation.
