The essence and structure of meaningful learning and the Highly Effective Teaching instructional design model
by Anderton, Cheryl J., Ph.D., CAPELLA UNIVERSITY, 2010, 269 pages; 3427230

Abstract:

The match between the essence and structure of meaningful learning continues to challenge public schools amidst educational reform. Meaningful learning design for twenty-first century learners must be based on three foundational principles: (a) a systemic focus, (b) an enduring focus and (c) an evolving focus; it must include the learner, the learning experience and the learning environment as integral elements within the design structure. Student descriptions of meaningful depicted in this phenomenological study are shown to align with the design components of the Highly Effective Teaching Model. As a result of the learning experiences at the inquiry component of the model (grades three and six), it is evident the model has the capacity to foster and support twenty-first century learning.
