POME
Definition
POME - "prepare - organize - monitor - evaluate" is a simple instructional design model that emphasis self-regulation.
The model
Ley and Young distinguish four kinds of self-regulation activity categories that a cours designer has to look at. That means preparing self-regulation guidance activities for the learners.
- Plan / Prepare (environmental structuring)
the learning environment to concentrate and attend the learning process
- E.g. provide checklists of study environments and strategies to cope with distraction
- Organize (organizing and transforming)
the study material for studying or as part of the learning process
- E.g. Advise studetns how to arrange or use learning materials, identify key points to learning, optimal learning path, have them complete partial outlines.
- Monitor (keeping records, monitoring, reviewing tests)
the learning process
- E.g. Provide students with time needed for activities, detailed assigment tables (calendar), timely regular on-line feedback and assessment
- Evaluate (self evaluation)
the learning outcomes
- E.g. frequent ungraded quizzes, compare effort to learning, identify effective/ineffective learning strategies.
Self-regulation is therefore something that can be directly or indirectly taught, i.e. by providing guidelines on how to behave and also by engaging students into activities where they should reflect.
