Study Notes

Cognitive-Oriented Method

  • Emphasizes thinking skills (Thinking Operations)
  • Key skills include: Interpreting, Comparing, Criticizing, Classifying, Analyzing, Summarizing, Creating
  • Students are trained to think, analyze, and evaluate information
  • Students develop frameworks for acquiring and disseminating information

Metacognitive Method

  • Requires students to monitor and control their learning
  • Encourages creative thinking and pushing limits
  • Provides training for independent study

Constructivism

  • Learner-centered approach
  • Knowledge is built by the learner, not transmitted
  • Teacher facilitates learning by considering prior knowledge and providing cues and challenges
  • Learning is a social process through interaction with environment and prior knowledge

Reflective Thinking

  • Encourages students to reflect on their experiences to gain new insights
  • Analysis of learning experiences leads to new knowledge
  • Experience is valuable when analyzed critically

Structured-Oriented Methodologies: Allocation

  • Learning environments that motivate student participation and persistence
  • Teachers need to allocate time, learning groups, strategies (cooperative, peer group, partner learning, and inductive learning), and resources (materials, group structures etc.)

Cooperative Learning

  • Students work in small, heterogeneous groups
  • Goal-oriented, focusing on shared goals and responsibilities
  • Positive interdependency between students
  • Group size typically 2-6 students, in a circular formation for easy interaction

Peer-Mediated Methods

  • Older, more capable students tutor or coach peers
  • Different types include:
    • Instructional Peer Tutoring: Older students tutor
    • Same Age Tutoring: Peers tutor each other
    • Monitorial Tutoring: Monitor assists the teacher
    • Structural Peer Tutoring: Structured procedures and materials
    • Semi-Structured Peer Tutoring: Combination of structure

Partner Learning

  • Students pair to share ideas and opinions
  • Students discuss a topic or issue
  • Facilitates oral presentations of answers to the class

Inductive Learning

  • Specific instances lead to generalization
