Twenty-eighth International Conference on Learning

Abstract

The International Baccalaureate adopted the Approaches to Teaching and Learning (ATT and ATL) across all its programmes. It is one of the defining elements of the IB framework. However, the ATL and ATT are crucial for any good classroom instruction. In this paper, I argue that using the Concept Based Curriculum and Instruction framework by Dr. Lynn Erickson and Dr. Lois Lanning can make skills more transferable and lead to deeper learning. The way knowledge in the subjects is made conceptual paves way for skills to be rethought and reimagined in that way. In this study, I am essentially brining the Approaches to Learning and Teaching in conversation with Concept Based Learning and Teaching. Using exploratory research. The research is essentially an introduction to a concept based outlook to skills.
