Time-based Outcome-based

Focus:  memorization of discrete facts Focus:  what students Know, Can Do and Are Like after all the details are forgotten.

Lessons focus on the lower level of Bloom’s Taxonomy – knowledge, comprehension and application.

Learning is designed on upper levels of Blooms’ – synthesis, analysis and evaluation

Textbook-driven Research-driven

Learners work in isolation – classroom within 4 walls

Learners work collaboratively with classmates and others around the world

Teacher-centered:  teacher is center of attention and provider of information

Student-centered:  teacher is facilitator/coach

Little to no student freedom Great deal of student freedom

Fragmented curriculum Integrated and Interdisciplinary curriculum
