- W2563737182 abstract "INTRODUCTION College students increasingly arrive unprepared for the day's class activities. Many have not read the assigned material, or if they have, not in sufficient depth to allow them to move from a basic recognition level to being able to critically analyze, extend, or integrate topics. Owing to that lack of effort, a basic instructional tool for deep learning in the classroom, meaningful guided discussion across students, is immediately precluded. Lack of preparation is a problem that plagues four-year colleges and universities, running across disciplines from small liberal arts colleges to internationally known research institutions. It is empirical reality: students are not studying. Today's average student hits the books only about 15 hours per week (Lipka & Berrett, 2010). If a typical semester load is 1415 hours, students average only one hour of study for every hour in class. That is 1/2 to 1/3 of the two- to three-hour heuristic that most professors suggest to their students (Welker, 2012). Adding to the preparation gap is the fact that recent research points to an even more disappointing and continuing trend: the percentage of those who read assigned material prior to class is declining (Lineweaver, 2010). Students are not only reading less, but also are not practicing quantitative analysis and application in their coursework and, therefore, leave college without those essential life and work skills (Berrett & Sander, 2013). Furthermore, a significant number of students are avoiding courses that are more rigorous. The result is that many are not learning tools, techniques, and theories that they can use in the real-world to their immediate benefit. CBS News (2014) cites a study of 2,300 undergraduates from 24 collegiate schools that showed 45 percent of students demonstrate no significant improvement in critical thinking, critical reasoning, and writing skills by the end of their second year at university. The study suggests the blame rests with students that seek out easy courses and do not study, and a university culture that values faculty research productivity over quality teaching. Yet, students do not set out to fail. We suggest they haven't been challenged and, often, they don't know how to study. The purpose of this research is to present a successful quality management intervention that works to reverse the slide. We begin with a review of relevant literature, then present a resulting model of learning, follow with analysis, and end with discussion. LITERATURE REVIEW Bloom's work in the cognitive domain identified six ordered layers of knowledge (1956). The central thesis is that one moves systematically through each stratum of learning. At the lowest levels, one is simply involved in memorizing facts and terms. The focus is on identifying, defining, and matching. The ability to apply what was learned is non-existent at these basic levels. Analysis and application form the middle levels of the hierarchy. Here students are able to organize concepts and use them to solve problems. However, at the highest levels one has synthesized combinations of ideas and concepts, and is able to evaluate and extrapolate on the basis of what was learned. That is to say, one takes separate ideas and joins them in such a manner that a new whole is formed. For example, a student who has learned at these levels is able to encounter a difficult situation at work, take concepts learned in class, aggregate them, and apply that merged knowledge to appropriately attack the real-world problem that was previously un-encountered. Anderson and Krathwohl (2001) flipped the top two strata of Bloom's work. Their layers are remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Remembering and understanding still cluster on recall and definitions. The middle layers center on distinguishing and using concepts. The focus of evaluation is being able to defend or justify a position; and creating is the ability to extend to some new approach. …" @default.
