So, I will apply the Generic Model for the Trialogical learning process into my
innovation project where the students are given chance of learning and working in
pairs or groups. The students are required to have a higher degree of self-evaluation
and meta-cognition and create a situation in which even the more knowledgeable
group members benefit from working collaboratively. I will guide the students to
design the technological tools in order to scaffold learning and to support the
articulation of thought by individual learners for the benefit of the entire group.
The first step is explicating real purpose and need for creating new knowledge
and also for transforming practices. Since the topic chosen is about length, thus I
will guide ask the students to think about the importance of knowing the length of
objects in our daily life.
The next step is framing questions and epistemic challenges. I will ask questions
before starting the activity. I will ask students about the methods of measuring the
length of objects. For example, using a measuring cylinder. Then, I will bring the
measuring materials for the students and let them use those materials to measure
the volume of liquids (mineral water, coca cola). While doing this activity, the students
are divided into groups and working in their own group.
The third step is drafting and versioning knowledge artefacts and solutions. The
core idea of trialogical learning is that these drafts are then concretely elaborated and
versioned by participants throughout the process. Some of these knowledge artefacts
are meant to function as a means for the final end products. Therefore, during this
step, I will let students to discuss among themselves in their own group. Each of
them are given the responsibility on drafting concrete knowledge artefacts which are
meant to be early versions of their final outcome.
Next step is examining and reflecting on produced knowledge artefacts /
enacted practices. The students need to evaluate the overall status of the
knowledge artefacts that have been produced and the activities and practices which
have been conducted. For example, they should be able to present the method of
measuring and the measurement they have found by using appropriate technology
such as asking questions, conceptualizations or visualizations.
