    The document discusses the difference between being a pupil and a student. A pupil attends school out of obligation but has limited responsibility for their own learning, while a student chooses to attend and takes responsibility. It outlines six levels of responsibility from denial to responsibility. At the highest level of responsibility, the student assumes full ownership over their learning, does more than expected, and asks questions to further their understanding. The role of teachers is to support and guide students through projects, exercises and other tools, while self-study is also necessary for students to devote as much time outside of class as in it.

    SHAME

    At the Shame level, you


    Start to assume ownership for learning Blame yourself for hindering you in doing what you are supposed to do Tend to give up easily (Im probably just too stupid for this)

    Obligation
    Did you prepare for today? Good ! Yes, I have prepared for today and those assigments were so confusing, but (sigh) I have to do them

    Obligation

    At the Obligation level, you

    YOU!

    The role of teachers

    But, if a student is responsible for learning, what does a teacher do then!? The role of the teacher is to support and guide you through your learning process We have a lot of tools available for this

    The role of teachers


    Teacherstudent interaction Projects Exercises Flash-cards Games

    Teacher presentations Blackboard PowerPoint Demonstratio ns Programming

    Student selfstudy Litterature Assignments Study@home Video tutorials

    The effort needed

    Teacher presentation Interaction Self-study

    The effort needed


    Old-fashioned

    lectures only take up about 20 % of the total time you need to devote! You will not learn enough just by hearing lectures, and doing nothing else! Expect to use as much time to self-study, as you use at the school! Otherwise, you will remain a pupil
