In this unit, do the same with the theories presented by Merriam and Bierema in Chapter 9 of their text. There is some overlap in the theories presented. After reading further about those, would you change anything in what you presented about the theories in Unit 5?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 8<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Defining the Term \u2018Understand\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Discuss the use of the term \u201cunderstand\u201d (for example, \u201cunderstands,\u201d \u201cunderstanding\u201d) in setting learning goals with adults. If a learner told you his or her goal was to understand how glass is made, how could you address that goal in terms suitable for backward design?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aligning to Backward Design Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think about a course you teach. What changes could you make to bring it in line with the backward design method? Would those changes be feasible for your learners? Support your answer using theories and concepts presented in this course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 9 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples of Learning Transfer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The concepts of near and far transfer are ones that often seem completely logical but that are sometimes difficult to build into course activities and even less into postcourse activities. Provide two examples of near and not-as-near transfer built into this course. How can you deliberately build a far-transfer learning experience for yourself to promote transfer of learning from this course?<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 6 Explaining Brain Adaptability Your spouse\u2019s very active 83-year-old mother just bought a new car.
