I have been working with Dana on our assignment on Friday September 3. We have had many useful discussions one of which was to clarify the distinction between an aim and a purpose. This seems a grey area but I believe it is that an aim is a more broader approacvh to evaluation in relation to our topic and that the purpose is more specific. That is the approach that we have taken.
Unfortunately in the LSC interruptions occur with students wanting assistance and making appointments for that is the focus of the centre so we get quite a few interruptions. Nevertheless we are making progress.
Dana's smiley face approach to a difficult topic will I am sure be a winner with students especially as they create their face and require to know the constituents of the cellular structure in order to do this. Therefore there learning will be accelerated through both their research, finding a solution to the problem confronting them and drawing their smiley face. This approach to learning is fun and should make it easier for them to remember the structure of a cell.
I am getting along with my assignment and hope to post this tomorrow. I have done a literature search and have some interesting reading that Dana and I will share in discussion and select what is relevant for both of us.
HOpe everyone else is getting along OK.
Dana is a great coffee maker!!!

Great to see you and Dana are making progress. Yes it is tricky to "clarify the distinction between an aim and a purpose, and it can be "a grey area". I believe you have found the solution. " ...an aim is a more broader approach to evaluation in relation to our topic and that the purpose is more specific".
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the story unfolding further.
