There are several e-learning principles that my lesson includes which help to promote critical thinking. I have incorporated three different pieces which are personalization of the lesson, segmentation and worked examples. Applying these three principles to my design offers the learner the opportunity to gain a hands experience through auditory explanations, informative graphics, and feedback for clarity.
As I use the audio pieces in the lesson I provide information needed by the learner in order to move from one segment to the other. The audio pieces ask questions that are related to previous information provided to the learner to help them make the connection. By segmenting the lesson I am able to break down a large piece of information which gives the learner the opportunity to grasp the information bit by bit and then bring it all together within the worked example piece.
The questions that I ask within the lesson offer real world issues from real people. By giving the learner this opportunity they are able to problem solve on a realistic level optimizing the learning experience. Prior to hearing the questions the learner is provided an overview of requirements for staff and family to enroll in the head start program. The learner has heard and seen the answers before they were given the questions. The learner was also given the opportunity to answer the questions at their own pace; in which they could look up the information or discuss the questions with peers.
As the learner progresses through the lesson the work requires them to think critically.
