Hi Doug and Asif,
Here is my LS activity.
Scenario and Purpose:
One of the assessment tools widely used in Canadian postsecondary institutions is to require student writing. The writing can be a response to a question, an assignment, a critique, an analysis, or a research paper. The reason for such requirement is not just to test learner knowledge but also to hone their skills in critical/analytical thinking, presentation, and effective communication. Writing is an important life skill.
The group scenario I am considering is a department/faculty meeting to brainstorm ideas and strategies how to prevent plagiarism, thereby emphasizing academic integrity.
Proposed Liberating Structure:
1-2-4-All.
I find this an appropriate LS to “simultaneously engage everyone simultaneous
in generating questions, ideas and suggestions” (source: www.liberatingstructures.com/1-1-2-4-all).
Invitation:
What strategies can you recommend to prevent plagiarism?
I would appreciate it very much if you
can reflect on this question and share your effective strategies how to prevent
plagiarism in order to support our learners’ academic success.
Sequence of Steps and Time Allocation:
- Silent self-reflection on the question on the question framed in the invitation (1 min.)
- Generate ideas in pairs, building on ideas from self-reflection. (2 min)
- Since there are only 3 of us in the team, share and develop ideas as a whole team, noting similarities and differences (4 min)
- What is one idea that stood out in your conversation? (5 min)
I look forward to hearing from you, Doug and Asif.
