BOPPPs

This document outlines a project to design a survey instrument to test the usefulness of the BOPPPS lesson planning approach. It provides background on problems in current teaching practices and introduces the BOPPPS model, which includes elements like objectives, pre-assessment, and participation. The project aims to design surveys to collect information on BOPPPS from faculty and students. The method involves reviewing literature on BOPPPS and designing 10-question surveys. Results include the completed surveys. Evaluation examines the surveys' coverage and usability. Future work involves applying BOPPPS in courses and examining its applicability in the whole faculty.

Conclusion and future work

Background and Rationale (1)


Quotation
Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable
gift and not as a hard duty
--Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Problems in lesson planning and teaching practices
The gap between the teaching research and application of the teaching
methods in practice are still big
Students are not well informed before the lecture begin
Aims and objectives are not clear
Students do not know which parts is important
Direct links between the objectives and assessment is not clear
Students participation in the classroom are still very weak

Background and Rationale (2)


BOPPPS Model
A general lesson planning approach to aid the instruction in some Canadian
universities and colleges
Including a set of elements and good practices:
Bridge-in,
Objective or outcome,
Pre-assessment,
Participatory learning,
Post-assessment,
Summary/Closure

BOPPPS Bridge-in
Why
Gains learners attention to begin a
learning cycle
Builds motivation
Explains why the lesson is important

Strategies
Provide reasons for learning the
topic
Tell a story connected with the
lesson
Refer to something in the learners
realm of experience
Pose a provocative question linked
to the current topic
As short as possible

BOPPPS Objective
Focus both the learner and the
instructor on the purpose of the
lesson
Helps ensure that everybody
understands what is expected and
when the learning has been
accomplished
Establishes a foundation for the
evaluation of the learning

BOPPPS Pre-Assessment
Helps to determine what the
learners already know
Allows learners to add their
experiences to the lesson and
improve participation and
engagement
Pre-assessment strategies:
Close and open questions
Brainstorming
A trial attempt without
instruction

BOPPPS- Participatory Learning


In this section the material to
be learn is delivered
Two types of participatory
learning:
Interaction between the
instructor and the learners
Interaction between the
learners themselves

In order to maintain the


learners engaged let them
participate in the class

BOPPPS Post-assessment
Answers the questions:
What did the learners
learn?
Were the desired
objective accomplished?
Strategies for postassessment:
Short test questions
Short essay
Analysis of a scenario

BOPPPS - Summary
Finalizes the learning experience, creating a sense of
closure
Strategies:
Content review
Feedback of the lecture
Acknowledgement of effort and achievement
Application. What can they do with the obtained knowledge

Project Aim
Overall aim of the research:
To look for or develop a set of suitable teaching practices that are highly
applicable in software engineering courses and computer science courses

For this project:


Design a survey instrument to test the usefulness of BOPPPS approach

Research Methods
Conducting a short literature review to provide necessary information and
evidences to justify the usefulness of the elements in BOPPPS.
4 books, 5 papers or publications

Design the BOPPPS survey instrument.


Finished ( with 10 questions for staff members and 10 questions for students )

Examine the designed survey instrument with regard to the usefulness, and
applicability of the survey instrument.
Consult with lecturers, and students in Faculty of Engineering, Computer &
Mathematical Sciences at various levels
Faculty members
Students

Modify the survey instrument based on the feedback

Results of the Project


The survey instrument was done
Introduction of the BOPPPS Model
In a table format

A questionnaire for faculty members and a questionnaire for


students
10 questions in each questionnaire
8 of the 10 questions are in the format of the multiple choices
2 questions related to the explanations and elaborations

Project Evaluation
Within the contents of this project, the project evaluation was done from the
following perspectives:
The suitability of the survey instrument with regard to eliciting necessary
information about the knowledge and current practices of BOPPPS models
The degree of the question coverage of the elements of BOPPPS model in the
survey instrument
The applicability of the survey instrument within the time constraints for all the
staff and students,
the survey instrument shall be designed in such a way that it can be finished within
maximum 12 minutes.

Feedback from colleagues and students

Current feedback is positive

Conclusion and Future Work


Conclusion
Using teaching methods and practices are critical to ensure good
quality in high education.
Tailoring and applying effective teaching methods in each subject
area remains a challenging issues in university
The survey instruments design is a first step towards elicitation of
the information regarding to the suitability of BOPPPS Model in
high education

Future research
Tailoring BOPPPS Model and apply it in teaching software
engineering and computer science courses
Examine the applicability of the model within the entire faculty
