UP AND AWARE - 7

Only after you have talked with learners about these behaviours can you ask them to start collaborating.
The first group assignments should be short and done in class so that you may observe and provide
feedback, as necessary.

At the outset, you may actually want to give learners a systematic outline to follow. For example:
• Discuss the problem and divide the tasks. (10 minutes)

• Complete individual tasks. (15 minutes)
• Reconvene to share individual work and synthesise information. (15 minutes)

• Present solution to the rest of the class. (5 minutes)

Scoring:
For each item, mark the number of points that the learners’ score differs from the NASA ranking. Then
add up all the points. Disregard plus or minus differences. The lower the total, the better is the score.
