Formative and summative

Transfer (cognitive domain)

Formative and summative test would be necessary tools for researching how much knowledge is being retained. Assessing the competency of rookie fire fighters during their first six weeks on the job, in comparison to their knowledge expansion after 90 days.

Behavior (psychomotor domain)

Observing how fire fighters apply their skill sets in live drills. This gives the person performing the observation a chance to see what methods are applicable in emergency situations. It also offers an opportunity to discover those motor skills that need refining.

Result (benefits) – return on investment (e.g., may positively impact the greater society)

This is easy. Well trained fire fighters save lives and prevent massive property damage.

knowledge construction

The three types of reasoning used identified in this research paper focused on how the (rule), (case) and (result) combine. Reasoning is the precursor to knowledge construction.  Learners who are informed of their strengths and weakness, gain the advantage because they can strategically plan, evaluate, supervise and regulate their thinking process toward a solution.

information that supports concept maps

My facilitator is requesting that we turn in 3 problem statements. The body of knowledge I'm pulling from is fragmented, but there seems to be published information that supports the basis of the problem statements I selected.
I found some interesting information regarding concept maps. Click the post title to read more about concept maps.
