HOW DOES S.O.L.E. WORK?

A  S.O.L.E. is a classroom based Self Organised Learning Environment  adapted to facilitate student inquiry learning via the internet  Each S.O.L.E. session is focused through a question or provocation.

Each S.O.L.E. session adheres to five key Principles Students self organise - groups; computers; movement; learning direction; behaviours; pace of discovery Learning occurs through lots of collaboration & discussion Teachers transfer the power to learn to students.

 

Children are free to observe what other groups are doing and share information with each other Children present their research to the class at the end of the session .

 

The Logistics of a S.O.L.E. session are very simple. The classroom is set up with one laptop for every four students in the classroom. At the start of the session students are asked to respond to a single question or provocation. Students are then free to organize their own groups and decide how they will record their responses.

 

At the end of a research session all students report back their findings. Teachers have very little involvement during the research phase of a SOLE session.

Typically a S.O.L.E. session is structured in the following way
Review & briefly discuss the S.O.L.E. Protocols (3-5 mins)


Setting a learning goal and linking the question to the current classroom focus. Posing of the initial provocation (5 mins)


Collaborative group Enquiry (20-25 minutes)


Preparation for information sharing roles (3-5 minutes)


Sharing collective knowledge (15-20 minutes)
