Intro to 3 Dimensional Learning
Learning Activity
Three-dimensional learning refers to the three pillars that underpin NGSS standards (a.k.a, performance expectations):
- Practices (Science & Engineering Practices) - What students can do (i.e., skills)
- Core Ideas (Disciplinary Core Ideas) - What students know (i.e., content knowledge);
- Crosscutting (Crosscutting Concepts) - How students think (i.e., ability to perceive key information and make connections)
Developing 3-dimensional lessons and units aligned to NGSS standards "allow students to actively engage with the practices and apply the crosscutting concepts to deepen their understanding of core ideas across science disciplines" (Next Generation Science Standards). This type of learning involves activities that develop students' problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and management skills and apply what they've learned to other situations.
