Welcome MYP5!

Welcome MYP5

1. 'Leren leren' (15 min)

2. Homework time - what's your learning goal? (40 min)

3. Games (last 15 minutes! - after completing learning goal!)

Today's Learning Objectives

• You can explain why attention is necessary for learning and how distraction prevents it
• You can explain why multitasking doesn't work
• You can analyze your own study environment and identify improvements
  

1. Startklaar

Bij de start van iedere les verwelkomt de docent de leerlingen bij de ingang van de deur, noemt leerlingen bij naam, maakt oogcontact en besteedt aandacht aan hun welbevinden. De docent geeft het goede voorbeeld en spreekt hoge verwachtingen uit voor het verloop van de les door succescriteria op gewenst gedrag, schooltaal en effectief leren te benoemen. De leerlingen zijn startklaar: ingelogd in LessonUp, telefoons opgeborgen in het Zakkie, en JdW-map op tafel.

Part 1: Learning to Learn - Interactive Lesson (15 minutes)

Why Attention is Essential for Learning

Raise your hand if you've ever...

📱 Studied while checking your phone
📺 Watched TV while doing homework
🎵 Listened to music while learning something difficult
💭 Forgotten what you just read because you were thinking about something else

Today we'll discover why our brains struggle with these situations!

The Multitasking Myth

• Can humans multitask? ❌ NO!

• Your brain cannot consciously focus on two things at the same time that both require thinking.
  
  What Really Happens:

🔄 Your brain switches between tasks

⏱️ Each switch takes time

❌ You make more mistakes

🐌 Tasks take longer to complete

The One Exception

✅ When One Task is AUTOMATED
You CAN do two things at once when one doesn't require conscious thinking

✅ This Works:
Walking + Talking
(walking is automatic)

❌ This Doesn't Work:
Writing essay + Texting
(both need active thinking)

Multitasking Experiment - Part 1

Part 1: Single-Task Mode

Instructions:

1. Write: "MULTITASKING DOES NOT WORK" (in capitals)
2. Number each letter from 2 to 46 (skip by 2s) underneath
3. Time yourself!

Example:

M U L T I     T   A   S   K   I     N   G

2 4  6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24

Part 2: Multi-Task Mode (Task Switching)

Instructions:

1. Turn your paper over

2. Write one letter, then one number, alternating between lines

3. Line 1: M → Line 2: 2 → Line 1: U → Line 2: 4...

4. Time yourself!

Questions:

How long did Part 2 take? Did you make mistakes?

Experiment Results

What Did We Discover?

Part 2 takes longer and has more errors

Formula:

Task-Switching = Slower Performance + More Mistakes

 STUDY ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS

Questions to Answer Honestly:

• My study space - is it quiet? What's around me?
• Technology - where's my phone/laptop when I study?
• Sound - do I study with music? What kind?
• Social - do I study alone or with friends?
• Breaks & Health - do I take breaks? Drink water? Sleep enough?

Part 2: Homework
