extreme apprenticeship meets playful design at operating system labs: a case study
DESCRIPTION
The extreme apprenticeship instructional methodology, recently born in Scandinavia, serves to organise education in formal contexts, such as university courses. The fundamental idea is that a new task is learned by apprentices, looking at the master who is performing it, and then repeating the task under his or her guidance. Continuous feedback and learning by doing are key principles of extreme apprenticeship. However, in e-learning contexts, the direct contact with the master may be missing. Then engagement of students with learning material becomes a challenging goal to achieve when designing the material. In this paper, we see how extreme apprenticeship and playful design were combined for designing the learning material of the laboratories of a traditionally `boring' university course, namely, operating systems. A preliminary analytic evaluation concludes the paper showing the viability of the blended approach.TRANSCRIPT

Evaluation designEvaluation of videos for high-school usage:
• Before a usage session:
- contextual interviews with teachers from 2 high-schools and the pedagogy expert
- analytic evaluation with 4 evaluators
• During a usage session:
- observer’s observations for engagement
• After a usage session:
- contextual interviews with teachers
- survey for students from high-schools
pedagogy methodologypremises design methodology evaluation and future
Evaluation results• Before a usage session:
- contextual interviews: generally positive; a teacher got enthusiast and spontaneously decided to change programme in the middle of the school year
- analytic evaluation: generally positive, albeit with issues of inconsistency for representation of learners’ tasks
• During/after a usage session: results still under analysis but in general students were engaged in terms of time, interest and concentration
