Ault workshop
Project Delivery Mode: ?Face-to-Face Learning?eLearning ?Blended Approach
Duration (in hours):6 hours
The title of the workshop is “efficient tools for teacher”. It is face-to-face workshop. The duration of the workshop is six hours, it breakdown to two sessions each
one takes three hours.
. Project Focus Description:
• Describe in clear terms the focus of your project.
Workshop focus on training teachers in R.A.K government’s school to use:
-“planbookedu” software as a planning tools for lesson plan.
-“inspiration” software as a concept mapping tool.
• Explain why you are interested in this focus area for your professional development project
Integrating technology in education is necessary and it is shifting education to a new phase. It is consider a revolution in human education .Teachers in this period
of time should get advantages from characteristics of technology, In order to enhance their teaching quality. I choose two important areas to cover during workshop.
The two main sections are planning and organizing tools. The importance of the planning and organizing is that by knowing these tools teacher will save time and
effort. Additionally, it will enhance education quality. The natural of the teachers ‘job is stressful .Multitasks are required in the same time. They have to do too
many things .Hence, this workshop will be useful and matching their needs. The workshop will give them necessary tools to facilitate and upgrade teaching quality.
Furthermore, Ministry of Education empshize on integrating technology in education criteria. . Through lesson plan tool teachers can exchange the lesson by email
with students and other teachers. No need for copying lesson plan or waiting to meet up personally to distribute it. It will save time and money. All of the previous
points align with Ministry of Education policy toward new generation of education.
2.1. AndragogicalLearner Analysis
• Describe the characteristics of the target learners / trainees based on the following categories:
1. General Characteristics (Social & Cultural Backgrounds)
The audiences in the workshop are group of teachers who are working in ” Al Ghad” government schools in R.A.K zone.”Al Ghad Schools” are selected schools from Ministry
of education to apply new curriculum program. All subjects in “Al Ghad schools “are taught in English. The particpmants in the workshop are teachers teaching in
different levels from primary to secondary schools. All of them are female teachers and they are from United Arab Emirates. They shared same religion and language.
Also, they shared same culture with minor differences between teachers who lives inside country and outside country.
Specific Entry / Prior Knowledge Characteristics.
The Ministry of Education will aannounce about the date and place of “Efficient Tools for Teachers” workshop between schools. Subsequently, fifteen teachers will be
chosen from teachers who signed to attend the workshop. Hence, the participants have to be: teachers, female, working in government school, and they approved to attend
the workshop. Also, the maximum number of participants will be fifteen teachers. All of the participants have bachelor degree and they have experience in teaching
field. Participants are still working as a teacher in schools.
1. Cognitive Characteristics & Learning Styles
Cognitive styles are approaches preferred by people for organizing and presenting information (Riding and Rayner 1998).Cognitive style represent the participants
personality aspects ,which impact on collecting, analyzing and evaluating information. In this workshop I will use Cognitive Styles Analysis-Wholistic-Analytic test
(CSA-AW). It reliable advanced version of Cognitive style Analysis (CSA) . CSA-AW test is useful for my workshop because it detects of individual differences in tasks
related to holistic and analytic stimuli.
? Wholistic learner: They tent to see “big pictures” and get less attention to details. They learn best through: Interpersonal connection important to them ,
Stories and anecdotes ,Highly Think-pair-share; Praise-question-polish ,Teacher feedback; person-to-person communication interesting project and materials ,Functional
games and activities .
? Analytic learner: they get attention to details. They learn best through: Intrapersonal skills valued, Journals , Learning logs ,Sequentially organized
material, timelines, diagrams ,Moving from “part” to the “whole”, Puzzles, logic games.
In addition, there are esearch about crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence indeed that crystallized intelligence does not decline until old age and fluid
intelligence may. (Knowles, Holton and Swanson, 2012).Hence, in workshop for adult learns may not respond as quickly to new materials.
Participants have different learning style .Learning style is more general than cognitive style, it includes learners preference .Learning –how-to –learn theorists
believe that learners do not have to be limited to their natural strengths.
Through different learning activities learns will be to learn differently from ways they naturally prefer.
I will use Whole-part-Whole approaches. In short, the test measures user preferences for wholistic versus analytic ways of structuring information.
1. Personality Characteristics (Engagement & Incentives Styles).
Before develop the activities for the workshop. The participants will answer online survey to indicate their personality characteristics from following elements:
anxiety, tolerance for unrealistic expectation, ambiguity tolerance and frustration tolerance. Subsequently, the activities will build on information that survey
provided.
• What implications do the identified learners’ characteristics have on the instructional design task?
? I will use learner- center- teaching approach. Learners will depend on constructivism theory through on applying concepts, solving problems that are relevant
prior experience and doing authentic learning tasks.
? All of the participants had same background; they are teachers. They already know about the teachers’ problem in planning and concept mapping. Therefore, will
minimize the time in section .
? I will use English language in the workshop because they are teacher from “al Ghad schools” so all of them know how to speak, write and read English.
.
? I will apply Whole-Part –whole strategy in overall presentation of the workshop. However, I will view the results of CSA-AW test .After that, I will present
the workshop in more details and parts if the learners are analytic and less parts if they are Wholistic. It will effect also on the strategies and activities.
? Consider the time of teaching new materials for adult learner. According to crystallized intelligence and fluid intelligence adult learners, especially older
learners, will consume more time than younger learners to learn new materials.
? The personality characteristic will be considered in designing the instructional: overall atmosphere and shifting form activity to onther.
? According to learning style characteristic as I clarified previously researcher recommended to not stick in one learning style. It is better to include
different activities for different learning style even if the majority of the learner have same learning style. I will apply kolbs’ model for different learning
style.
– kolbs model for learning style

. Needs Analysis
• What is the need for instruction? Identify the nature of the performance problem or gap that your instructional project will help provide a solution for.
The workshop will provide information about two tools .Lesson plan tool and organizing tool; both of them are very curial tools in teachers’ life. Teachers need to
altiayze these tools for several reasons . First, lesson plan tool is needed for teachers because they spend hours in creating lesson for unstable curriculum. In
addition, many teachers teaching different levels so they have to deal with different lesson plans. Second, organizing tool is important for teachers. Teachers having
busy scadule, therefore they need organizer tool to organize their work and make it easier to follow. For example, teacher must follow: teaching work in the classroom,
activities outside classroom , activities for parents , and school work .All of them in the same time. Organizing tool and lesson plan are important tools in
teachers’ crowded life.
They are two causes for performance gap which are lack of motivation and lack of training.
The lesson plan tool will give solution for lack of training. The Ministry of Education demand teachers to create lessons biased on standers. Lesson plan tool give
teachers the opportunity to develop lessons in professional way with less effort. Especially if had lack of training to create professional lesson plan. Each lesson
will created by using lesson plan tool will be biased on specific standers which will help teachers to match job requirement .Accordingly it will save teachers’ time
and effort.
Organizing tools well solve lack of motivation performance gap. With organizer tool teachers can schedule, view calendar and use time management tool .All pervious
features are important for teachers to make the stress less. Through organizing teachers’ work in effective way the stress will reduce and they will be more satisfied.
Consequently, teachers will be motivated to work harder in comfortable environment.
Both of lesson plan tool and organizing tool will help teachers to focus on important matter which is in this case is students. In my opinion as a teacher the
participants will stick with these tools after the workshop.

.
• Present a discrepancy needs analysis, addressing the following:
o Where are we? (current status)
Participant :
Participants are teachers in government school. The teachers’ role is government school is more than teaching only. Indeed, teaching is one part of teacher job.
Teacher roles are planning lesson plan, facilitator learning, evaluator through assessing students during the course, and other professional duties such as: interior
design to make sure that students will learn in suitable environment , monitors during the breaks and before and after school day. In order to do multiple roles
teacher must attend professional development workshops and conference. It will help them to be up dated with latest practice and strategies.
Equipment:
Teachers in government schools are provided with tools to facilitate their job. First, the classes, most of the teachers have their own classes the students are moving
from class to class according to their schedule. So, the teachers have all of their own equipments and they can prepare for the next class easier. Second, technology
access, MoE emphasize on integrating technology in the classroom. MoE provided most of the classes with computer, data show and wireless. It is crucial point to
develop learning in governments’ school. Teachers can use it to improve the quality of teaching in classroom. Third, school provides room for training purpose. Teacher
can reserve training room for workshop and lecture other teacher. In addition, experts from outside schools can come and present workshops for teachers.
Teacher assessment:
There are new methods for assessing teachers in government school. In the past, the supervisor of the subject observes teachers in the classroom. In the end of the
classroom he meets with principle to discuss with teacher’s performance outside the classroom. After that, supervisor gives grades and feedback for teacher. Now a day,
teacher must create professional portofoil and there is section for professional development. For example, teacher get bonus for creating effective workshop with
collogues or attending credible workshop and other training program. Professional development for teachers became more official, teachers more motivated to involve in
this area to get rewards and promoted in their career.
Organization:
Teachers’ works align with vision and mission of Ministry of Education in United Arab Emirates (MoE). The vision if MoE is “Pioneering in Student preparation in K-12
education system for a productive life in a dynamic world to ensure sustainable development for the UAE society”. Beside, the mission of MoE is “Working together to
promote the UAE K-12 educational system, investing in human capital to build a knowledge-based society while enriching citizenship values “(Ministry of Education,
2014).
.
o Where do we want to go? (future status)
The workshop” Efficient Tools for Teachers” and similar workshops about new tools for teachers created to improve education in schools, after this workshop:
Participant :
– Teachers will know what are new technology tools; it will impact positively on students .Teachers will be updated with new tools in order to integrate it in
education. Instruction in the use of learning technologies, experienced teachers need professional development in modern research knowledge about the nature of
learning and how learning technologies can be used to encourage and enhanced learning outcomes in students (Carr-Chellman & Dyer, 2000).Teachers will enhance students
learning outcomes in spite of multiple roles and responsibilities of their work as a teacher.
Equipment:
-Technology equipments that MoE provided for teacher will be use in effective way. Some teachers using expensive technology equipment like data show and modern
computers for minor use. For example: display pictures, and present power point slides. MeO provided tools to use it in effective way which will impact on students’
performance. This kind of workshop will give teacher knowledge and training to use technology effectively as MeO demanded for.
Teacher assessment:
Open the door for teachers to plan their professional development and to be more productive teachers. Through using technology tools, teachers will minimize the time
they spend on some tasks. Also, it will give them the time to plan their professional development and will be more productive. Teachers, researchers, and
policymakers consistently indicate that the greatest challenge to implementing effective professional development is lack of time (Abdal-Haqq, 1992). Simultaneously
with teaching , teachers will be able to focus in their professional development.
– Organization:
– By increasing students outcomes and focusing on professional development. Teachers will meet MoE mission which is ” Pioneering in Student preparation in K-12
education system “ and MoE vision” Working together to promote the UAE K-12 educational system”. (Ministry of Education, 2014).
o What is the best way to get there? (present an analysis of solutions/ alternatives)
(As much as possible, the needs assessment should incorporate the perceptions of the learners not just that of the organization/institution.)
Participants:
Teacher should joining to workshops and training programs about new technology tools for teachers. Because technology tools are up dated consistently. Also, teachers
must experience the new technology tools and assess the outcomes. Teachers can improve the way of practice new ideas to fill their needs.
Equipment:
-MeO must select equipment carefully. Not just fallow the latest trend in technology tools in education. The purpose of using technology is not technology itself, it
is about using technology effectively that will serve teacher and students. In my opioion MeO have to make research about teacher and students needs in schools and
import technology tools that will meet these needs. In addition, MeO should send experts in IT field to introduce the new equipment that MeO provide for school.
Teacher assessment:
– One criteria in teachers’ assessment is professional development. In this section they in depended on only workshops and conference. Teachers can improve their
professional development by too many ways such as: joining to communities of practice, read recent research, viewing blogs, wikis and other educational websites. All
of the previous tools can enhance teachers’ professional development. Andragogy indeed of the leaning adult by self-direction. Adults can do engage in self-directed
learning (SDL) is now a forgone conclusion in adult learning research( Knowles, Holton and Swanson, 2012).
• – Organization:
MoE set vision and mission for governments’ schools. MoE can create clear strategies for teacher in order to achieve the big picture of the vision and mission. Also,
they can make directed connection between the ministry and teachers through technology. MoE can send hand out , ministry magazine , announcements to motivate teacher
and clear things up in order to achieve their goals.
2.3. Goals & Purposes for Learning
• Specify the learning goals (individual, institutional) based on your Needs Analysis stated above.
• The purpose of this workshop is to support government school teachers with two technology tools : concept mapping and lesson planer software’s ,In order to
enhance their teaching quality and meet MoE requirements.
.
2.4. Contextual / Situational Analysis
• Indicate whether your learners’ community is co-located & distributed and how that impacts the design and delivery of your workshop.
Learners’ community contains of mix learners from different schools. They will meet face-to-face at training hall of one of governments’ school so, it considered as a
co-located leaning community. Small number of learners is suitable for co-located learning. Workshop will develop biased on participative approach; leaner is the heart
of the training.
Based on co-located learning I can use different innovative training techniques design. In order to catch learners’ attention, make them involve and help them get
knowledge and skills which are related to their working practices.
• Describe the macro organizational climate, physical, socio-cultural, and resource elements of the learning site. Also describe the micro “instructional”
context focusing on environmental factors affecting the feasibility of planned instructional strategies.
The main building of MoE is in Dubai. Each Emirate have one local office of MoE it calles Zone. For example: For building of MoE in Ras AL khamiah called” R.A.K zone”.
The total Zones of MoE are seven. The total of the public education in the U.A.E distributed on the Educational zone are 419 school. In addition, total number of
public school in R.A.K is 90 schools.
The workshop will held in training hall, in one of the government’s school. The presenter has to reserve the hall before two weeks at least form the day of training.
Training hall contains of five tables; one small table for presenter and four round big tables for participants. Each table is sufficient for five people. In the
central of the tables there are pens , pencils and papers. Also, there are computers in the back of the training hall. In addition, there are one data show and
speakers connected to presenter computer.
The participants in the workshop are local teachers. All of teachers considered as adult learners ; their age between 22 to 45 years, and they have bachelor degree
from different universities in U.A.E.
Participants will set in groups. Each group contain of five learners, round table will help them to work in group effectively. Also, there are supplies like pens,
pencils and papers. In the back of the hall there are modern computers which facilitate learner to engage in activity depend on computer. In addition, there are
wireless cover all hall’s areas. presents have: computer , data show and speakers.
There are special table with computer in front of the hall for presenter. He can also use other technology for workshop like data show and speakers.
.
