Some educational principles never go out of style; at Hawkes, we understand and embrace the fundamental principles of learning and teaching. The intelligent evaluation engine in our mastery-based software maximizes student success by building a solid foundation of knowledge, supported by powerful learning aids that provide critical assistance when students need it most as they gain a deeper comprehension of course concepts.
How does this mastery-based approach align with your teaching methods?
Active Engagement
The three-mode learning path – Learn, Practice, Certify, mirrors the innate processes of human learning. This intentional design fosters interactive, engaged learning, acknowledging that active participation is essential for true understanding. This approach immerses students in their learning experiences by becoming active contributors to their own education, cultivating critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and promoting a profound grasp of the subject matter.
Practice & Repetition
The understanding that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process is deeply ingrained in the platform’s philosophy; creating a penalty-free practice environment so that rather than fearing mistakes, users are encouraged to embrace them as valuable opportunities for growth and improvement. This emphasis on meaningful repetition ensures that users are actively engaged with the content, not just going through the motions.
Error-Specific Feedback
Explain-Error offers immediate feedback for incorrect answers, ensuring students can not only identify exactly where they went wrong, but also how to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. This detailed feedback mirrors the approach to learning employed by educators in the classroom, guiding students not only to correct answers but also through the essential steps and thought processes needed to reach those solutions.
Mastery Learning
Memorization alone is not enough to be successful in a career, and shouldn’t be the baseline of understanding in college-level courses either. The principle behind mastery learning is that students can not only ace a multiple-choice test, but can apply the same concepts to scenarios outside of the classroom. Through active learning, timely feedback, ongoing assessment, and individualized learning paths, Hawkes equips students at all levels of understanding with the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
