Adapting the Resources for Different Learners or Work
This
part of the case study follows from what has just been said about
evaluation of resources. If a piece of software, a World Wide
Web site or a dedicated piece of courseware can be used for more
than one group of learners or across more than one area of work,
it follows that it is more valuable to you in your work.
In the case study, the teacher found the web sites useful for
this particular group on this particular task, but also useful
with the same group in other areas of their PE work. It was simply
a matter of spending time with the pupils exploring the web sites.
The web sites were also useful across a range of other groups.
Pupils preparing for GCSE and even A/S Level coursework and exams
were able to use the product web sites as well as the sports web
sites to gather information and images, and use these resources
in their own work. Younger pupils working for the first time with
specialised fields of sport also found web sites useful for developing
their understanding of the rules of the sports, the role of the
sports in their home cultures and the personalities behind the
sports.
With
this in mind, think about how you would complete the grid on the
following page, and discuss it with your mentor.
