Study Notes
Psychology of Instruction
- Effective lesson planning is crucial for presenting new material to students.
- Three instructional strategy approaches include:
- Ausubel's advance organizers to connect new knowledge with broader concepts.
- Bruner's discovery learning for encouraging student-led exploration.
- Gagne's model of events that outlines instructional steps.
Ausubel's Meaningful Verbal Learning
- Advocates active teacher-student interaction through meaningful verbal learning.
- Emphasizes expository teaching, providing a clear and organized presentation of material.
- Utilizes deductive reasoning where students learn principles before specific instances.
- The use of advance organizers helps prepare students for subsequent learning.
Bruner's Discovery Learning
- Suggests that learning is more effective when students explore concepts independently.
- Promotes inductive reasoning to allow students to derive principles from examples.
- Involves problem-solving in which students generate hypotheses and conduct experiments.
- Encourages a focus on the learning process rather than the final product.
Guided Discovery
- Involves the teacher providing direction to prevent students from pursuing dead ends.
- Includes posing stimulating questions and offering engaging materials to foster inquiry.
- Supports students in generating and testing their own hypotheses.
Gagne's Model of Instruction
- Based on information processing theory, Gagne's model includes nine sequential events:
- Gaining students' attention.
- Providing lesson objectives.
- Retrieving prior knowledge.
- Presenting stimulus material.
- Guiding learning.
- Eliciting student responses.
- Providing feedback.
- Assessing performance.
- Enhancing retention and transfer of knowledge.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
- Assessment interprets measurements, while measurement quantifies concepts numerically.
- Reliable measurement techniques include test-retest, equivalent forms, and split-half methods.
- Validity in tests ensures meaningful interpretation of scores, encompassing:
- Content validity
- Criterion-related validity
- Construct validity
- Standardized tests maintain constant administration and scoring procedures.
- Test results typically fall on a normal (bell-shaped) curve, equating mean, median, and mode.
- Norm-referenced tests compare student performance with peers; criterion-referenced tests assess mastery of specific skills.
- Percentiles indicate the proportion of students scoring below a given score.
- Various evaluation types include placement, formative, summative, and diagnostic evaluation.
- Test construction requires careful planning of content and format, addressing cultural bias.
- Performance-based assessment measures real-life task execution, while portfolio assessment gathers student work for evaluation.
