feedback on Task two

[Lulu-544]

hello mentors @Judith0001 @Raffysul @Kebith. I would love feedback on my skill tree. Very open to suggestions and corrections. Here is the link https://docs.google.com/document/d/11PH29fqRbEQNVJoIoL_H3GRf3quiKGAIZjpcfeu4iqo/edit?usp=sharing

I also need explanation on the difference between skill tree and skill table

Hi @Lulu-544

So basically, In Oppia, skills are building blocks of lessons which together make up a topic. Think of it as a pyramid with Topics at the Top and Skills are the bottom. Hence why Skills need to be concise and broken down.

A Skill Tree has 2 sections
Section 1 consists of the skills to be taught.
Section 2 consists of skills and sample questions for each skill.

While A Skill Table is a breakdown of the topic - it includes Motivation, target audience, misconceptions and their remediations, further topic development, and relevant questions. This has to be done for each lesson under a given topic.

Check out this guide for a better understanding

Hope this helps.

Hi @Lulu-544
To add to what @Archietech said:
A skill tree: In plain words, it can be said to be something a learner is expected to do/know at the end of a lesson. It should have a list of skills to be taught in the lesson and this should be structured in a way that it moves from simple to complex. It's also expected to be broken down as much as possible. The more skills we can get for a topic, the easier it is to teach the skills and guide learners towards a deeper understanding of the topic. It should have two parts, the actual skills to be taught and the Questions generated from the skills that the learner should be able to answer at the end of learning the skill.

For Skill Table: In simpler terms, this is a tabular representation of what you want to teach a learner, why that topic is important, what the learner already knows about that topic, and what they are expected to know at the end of the topic. On this table, we are expected to list out the skills we fleshed out from our skill tree and write out what misconceptions exist about these skills and how we can remedy those misconceptions.
For example, you want to teach a topic on "Balanced Diet,
A common misconception here could be that "balanced diet only means eating fruits and vegetables or simply avoiding junk food".

Remediation for this could be:
"Even though fruits and vegetables are important, a balanced diet includes a variety of foods, like proteins, whole grains, healthy fats, dairy, etc"

In this table, we should also state how we plan to develop the topic, how we plan to explain the various skills and the questions we would ask the learners.

You can use the link @Archietech embedded to read more on this and guide you.

Hello @Lulu-544

Thank you for your submission.

• You can look through the feedback @Judith0001 gave in Feedback for my Skill Tree #1498 to make corrections.
• Your brainstorming seems good, but it's too wordy and lengthy. Try to make it concise. Refer to the samples provided to you in the task description, as a guide.
• The one skill you have in lesson 1 cannot make up a whole lesson. Add more skills to this lesson.
• Rephrase your skills in lesson 4 to make them seem comprehensible. Most of your skills are not measurable. It is advisable to structure your skills using real-life scenarios.
• Refer back to the guide provided on how to compose your skill questions.

Good work on your submission.

I would make necessary correction. thank you
