Pedagogical Patterns

Pattern Format

 

From the feedback acquired from participants at the pedagogical patterns workshops and those who have provided feedback in other ways, a new format for the patterns has been drafted and is open for review.
This format contains the following sections:

  • NAME: pattern name
  • DATE: date of last update
  • AUTHOR: name of person submitting the pattern
  • THUMBNAIL: short description (abstract) of the pattern
  • PROBLEM / ISSUE: problem, challenge, or issue that the pattern is addressing
  • AUDIENCE / CONTEXT: For what type of learners, in what context, is this pattern appropriate?
  • FORCES: What makes the problem a problem?
  • SOLUTION: the solution this pattern proposes to the problem
  • DISCUSSION: resulting content/consequences and implementation issues
  • SPECIAL RESOURCES: resources needed to use this pattern (things that are not ordinarily available to the person using the pattern)
  • CONTRAINDICATIONS: when not to use the pattern, including any cultural dependencies
  • RELATED PATTERNS: The author may want to peruse the web page (and other sources) and comment on any existing patterns related to this one.
  • EXAMPLE INSTANCES: specific uses of the pattern (who, how, etc.)
  • REFERENCES / ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: any citations and/or individuals who should be acknowledged as contributing to this pattern
