ALV Zone (ALVZ) System

A Learners’ View Is Of Choices On The Shortest And Fastest Path To Learning, The Oxygen Of Social Life.


This site consists of descriptions of the science of teaching-learning as social processes and its use to accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning.

Main Article: Classic Education: A Learners’ View (ALV) of Choices During Teaching and Learning

Theme: Ways to use ALV to accelerate, increase, and deepen (AID) learning.

 

THE ALV ZONE (ALVZ) SYSTEM simplifies and codifies answers to the question, “Which part or parts of a lesson lead directly, actively, to learning and which parts do not?” The active parts occur along the ALV Path. Experimental behavioral and social scientists have described the active parts and ways to match them with choices learners will likely make while learning.

Purpose

ALVZ  System provides a systematic way to increase the likelihood of offering 1.0 lessons. It is most useful for analyzing the efficiency of instruction for learning lessons greater than a minute long, such as during an Omnibus Lesson that consumes a typical 50 minute class period. In this way, users can apply the ALVZ System in order to identify and manage risks of lessons failing to result in learning.

Teachers can use this system to figure out which parts to remove or adjust of lessons that fall short of the 1.0 rating. They can also use this system to assemble strings of smaller lessons into instruction during a class period.

Essential Features

ALVZ identifies technical steps to monitor, record, and manage the active parts of lessons. This System is a refinement and adaptation to ALV vocabulary of practices by experimental behavioral and social scientists, mentors, supervisors, and evaluators who observe, assess, and report the status of instruction and learning from lessons in a classroom.

Parts of a Lesson

The ALVZ System divides lessons into parts at equal intervals, such as every 20 seconds, the minimum estimated time it takes to offer a 1.0 lesson. Individual users of this zone system may find it more convenient to divide a lesson into other equal time-based intervals. The ALVZ System uses clock-time based intervals, because the work of teachers in schools is managed in part by clock-time established by school or district policies and regulations.

Rating Parts of a Lesson

Users of the ALVZ System rate each part of a lesson as either On or Off of the ALV Path. The rater observes student actions to choose each rating.

Documents

Use of ALVZ System results in three documents,

  1. a continuous record of the status of learning during a lesson,
  2. a summary ranking from 0.0 to 1.0 of the lesson, and
  3. clinical observations for the teacher to consider while planning and instructing the lesson again.
