| How |
1. Ask the students/participants to think about there level of knowledge and understanding of a particular topic. 2. Ask the students/participants to stand in a line that represents a continuum of knowledge 1 to 100. 1 being very little or no knowledge of the topic and 100 being expert. 3. Teacher and students/participants can then gain a visual representation of current knowledge and understanding. 4. Learning activities can then be pitched according to the knowledge eg whole group learning, small group learning, individual learning. Ideas from here · Participants can be paired form either end of the continuum to from cooperative learning groups so that at least one member of the group has some knowledge. · Mixed groups can be formed and activities can be facilitated that continues to build on the group knowledge eg Hot Potato, brainstorm, · Group knowledge can then be display and circulated so that all students/participants have access to this foundation level of information. · The process can be used again through the learning situation and again at the end to assess the knowledge growth.
