Unit 10 Discussion 1 For my final project, I created an Introduction to Biology syllabus for college students. The theoretical framework I used for the course project was the theory of Connectivism. When students learn and apply knowledge by utilizing learning techniques, different application methods, and skills in the classroom, it creates new opportunities for the learners (Siemens, 2005). This is critical for both in-person and online classes, or even hybrid classes, due to the nature of the recent pandemic and to accommodate students with various learning styles. This ties in with the Dick and Carey Model, and a few aspects of the ADDIE Model, due to the five principles of instructional design; evaluation, implementation, design, development, and analysis as well as suiting the needs of the learner (Information, 2011). These steps ensure that the classroom is prepared, and material is adequately covered. To suit the needs of the learner, then five principles must be applied, which are taking in new information, integrating new knowledge to the learners that can be expanded and utilized, students wanting to learn to solve problems, and the knowledge can be used to develop new ideas and concepts (Khalil & Elkhider, 2016). I did not have to change my framework, due to the nature of my occupation allowing insight before taking upon this course project and previous knowledge of theory application. As for the future, I would like to use the material I learned in this class to improve my qualifications as a biological science professor for individuals with disabilities. I want to design better syllabi, integrate more learning methods in the classroom, and assure my students that I want nothing more than for them to succeed. References Information, R. M. A. (Ed.).
