What is Learning Progression?

Learning progressionrefers to the purpose
sequencing of teaching and learning
expectations across multiple developmental
stages, ages, or grade levels.(S.Abbott,2013)

Guiding Principles in Learning

Progressions:

Develop using available research

Clear binding threads that persuasive the
core concept.
Articulate movement toward
understanding.
Hand-in-hand with well designed

Summary
Point : LPs promise to transforming
science education
Explanation : In current science
standard they cover too many topics
in
perfunctory manner.
Opinion :1)Improvement in the
content
2)In Malaysian education, syllabus must
be updated with new findings

Summary
Point :two anchors that bounded in
LPs (upper anchor and lower

achievement intermediate step
Explanation:Levels of achievement
are provided in form of performances
which can serve as evidence
Opinion :Levels knowledge for every

learning performances

Summary
Point
:Development and validation
of
LPs are intertwined and
occur
through iterative cycles
Explanation:Entire elements in this
cycle are
repeating until the
desired goal
approach
Opinion :Weakness overcome

Responses
Modified the curriculum
Increase understanding
Most of point citied by the authors

Conclusion
I hope that LPs will be imply in our
education system
big impact toward our education so it
needs to be improved.
to make student understanding in every
theory of science that they learn and they
can apply
Need to fix the education system because
