For a long time teachers have recognised the benefits of having students assess their prior knowledge of topics being studied. To do this we have often used KWL charts - What do I KNOW? What do I WANT to know? What have I LEARNED?
In 2011 the KWL chart has been updated to incorporate more of a 21st century thinking perspective and now looks like this:
You can see that 3 more columns have been added - two (H and A) place more responsibility on the learner to determine how they can answer their questions and what they will do with their new found knowledge. The last column (Q) recognises that research and learning does not have an end point - the more you know the more questions you have.
I hope you find this KWL chart on steroids useful in organising your prior knowledge, questions, and new learning.
