What:
Parent Presence--
- motivates students to have high cognitive presence and quality learner-content interaction. This can be done through clear expectations, incentives, adding structure to the the student's time
- sets the physical environment i.e. does the student have school supplies, other basic needs, and a place for effective learner-content interaction
- Motivates student to have high cognitive presence and quality learner-content interaction. This is mostly done through grades, prompts, and verbal encouragement.
- Selects the content and delivery methods.
- Helps the student apply their knowledge through assignments and other assessments both formative/summative and formal/informal
- Sets the virtual environment. This is done by setting expectations of interaction and selecting communication tools (high fidelity vs low fidelity)
- Influences student social presence
- The ability to be seen as a real person
- Cognitive presence is high level thinking.
- Positive outcomes can include grades, disposition, enjoyment, perceived learning
How
- I am still working on the how. This is basically the same Garrison's framework. However, one difference is the interplay between parents and instructors. If parent presence is low instructor presence must be higher.
I have been thinking about what we talked about yesterday. I like the word energy. I was also thinking that the word engagement is good too. You sometimes hear the word cognitive engagement. I like that more than cognitive presence. Social engagement doesn't work as well for me.
ReplyDeleteAs I was looking through your parent presence description, I wondered if besides the things you listed if you have considered elements such as setting expectations and modeling. So for example, parents seem to play a big role in what their children believe is possible and what they aim for academically. Additionally, there is reinforcement of practice developing of dispositions.
ReplyDeleteI have thought of setting expectations but not in the way that you are describing. I love the thought of how they can influence their child's self-efficacy. Thanks for the insight.
