Through the use of techniques such as hands-on engagement, multimedia content delivery, and collaboration, teachers contextualize the material to integrate the lived experiences of their students. This course consistently provides real, topical data sets relevant to the lives of students and their families. Students will analyze datasets involving societal challenges, entertainment, civic involvement, and other authentic experiences. This kind of contextualization helps prepare students for the workplace and allows them to employ their own unique perspectives of the world as they learn.\r\n\r\nUsing this text with its included datasets and studies ensures that your teaching practice will incorporate contextualization. You can make additional positive impacts on your class environment when you deliberately consider the experiences of diverse or marginalized populations as you related the course material to real-world situations.\r\n<h3>How to use\u00a0Contextualization<\/h3>\r\nContextualized materials are embedded in the courseware. Simply by using the included datasets and analyses, you'll include this evidence-based teaching practice in your pedagogy. As the teacher in the educational space often sets the culture and tone for the class, you can encourage contextualization by trying of the follow additional tips. Feel free to develop or find something else to try as well.\r\n<div class=\"textbox exercises\">\r\n<h3>Teach in synchronous spaces<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><b>Media-Search Mini Projects.\u00a0<\/b>Encourage students to locate published items that use data or statistical research. Students can submit links to a shared document that you can display in the classroom as students arrive and take their seats. Make a brief mention of these at the beginning or end of class, especially of issues regarding marginalized groups or of those that hit home for your region. Leave the topic request open-ended to encourage students to incorporate their own perspectives and worldviews into the learning environment. Permitting students to use social media sources can keep this contextualization light-hearted while allowing you to help students discern reliable sources (see TikTok Topics below).<\/li>\r\n \t<li><b>In the News.\u00a0<\/b>Instructors who tend to enjoy keeping current with the news or with statistics or education journals may find it easy to use this tip. At the beginning of the semester, as you familiarize yourself with the included datasets, make note of\u00a0 those that may come up in the news, and note their location in the course. If you see something of interest, share it with the class along with the location of the relevant course material to either illustrate a concept or skill already covered or preview where the course will be headed in the future. This can help keep students engaged by realizing that the work they do in the course directly affects real events happening in the world in real time.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>TikTok Topics:\u00a0<\/strong>Students who enjoy light entertainment and news feeds like Instragram, TikTok, or BuzzFeed will appreciate an opportunity to talk about interesting data-driven items they come across. Like the Media-Search mini projects listed above, this activity would ask students to link items of interest to a shared document. The only rule would be that the items are data-driven and safe for a professional setting. As an example, see this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/danvergano\/black-football-coach-penalties\">buzzfeednews.com article\u00a0<\/a><em>College Football Referees Penalized Teams With Black Coaches More Often Than Those With White Coaches, A Study Suggests.\u00a0<\/em>To get this teaching tip going, you may need to supply some of the items for some time while drawing attention to the idea before it catches on with the students. It may take a particular mix of personalities in the learning space for this activity to work. A light-hearted approach will be helpful to spark interest but don't force it. If it doesn't catch on within a couple of weeks, you can switch to trying one of the other ideas presented here, or something else entirely.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h3>Instructor guides for in-class delivery\u00a0\u00a0[<span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\">link to these in pdf form<\/span>]<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>6A Corequisite Activity Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6B Corequisite Activity Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6C Corequisite Activity Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6D Corequisite Activity Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6E Corequisite Activity Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6A Forming Connections Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6B Forming Connections Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6C Forming Connections Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6D Forming Connections Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n \t<li>6E Forming Connections Instructional Guide<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Asynchronous Delivery<\/span><\/h3>\r\nSee the synchronous delivery options above and tips below for including them in your digital spaces.\r\n<div class=\"textbox exercises\">\r\n<h3>teaching asynchronously online<\/h3>\r\nAny of the above examples can be incorporated in an asynchronous environment and would serve to enrich the online community.
