Study Notes
Direct Instruction
- A teaching strategy that employs straightforward, explicit teaching techniques, typically employed for skill-based learning.
- The six steps of Direct Instruction in order are: Introduction, Present, Guided Practice, Feedback and Correctives, Independent Practice, Evaluation.
- Direct Instruction is widely considered most effective for teaching basic skills and foundational knowledge.
Flipped Classroom
- In a flipped classroom, students learn new material through online lectures or videos outside of the classroom.
- In-class time focuses on interactive activities such as group discussions, problem-solving, and applications of the learned material.
- The purpose of the flipped classroom is to invert traditional learning methods, allowing teachers to use class time for more interactive and engaged learning experiences.
Blended Classroom
- A blended learning approach combines online learning and in-person instruction to create a personalized learning environment.
- Blended classrooms leverage technology to enhance learning, often employing Learning Management Systems (LMS) for online assignments, quizzes, and communication.
- This model aims to tailor instruction to meet the individual needs of students by offering flexibility and a mix of learning modalities.
Lecture-Discussion
- Aims to engage students in active learning and critical thinking.
- This approach goes beyond simple information delivery, encouraging student participation and discussion to enhance understanding of the presented material.
Punctuated Lecture
- Involves pausing a lecture regularly for brief student activities, like discussions or quick assessments, to maintain engagement and gauge understanding.
- This strategy helps to break down long lectures into manageable chunks, improve focus, and actively involve students in the learning process.
Interactive Lecture
- Encourages active participation and dialogue during the lecture.
- Teachers might pose questions, use real-time polls, or incorporate interactive exercises to stimulate student engagement and understanding.
Differentiated Instruction
- Tailoring teaching methods and materials to accommodate different learning styles and readiness levels within a classroom.
- Adjustments may be made to the content, process, or product of learning to meet individual needs.
Demonstration
- Involves a teacher demonstrating a skill, technique, or process to students.
- This visual and practical approach helps students acquire knowledge through observation and active participation.
Asking Appropriate Questions
- Involves posing questions designed to assess understanding, stimulate critical thinking, and facilitate student engagement.
- Teachers should consider the cognitive level of the questions and provide relevant guidance to foster meaningful learning.
Situated Learning
- Emphasizes learning by doing in real-world contexts.
- Students actively apply knowledge and skills to real-life problems or situations, enhancing understanding and retention.
Inquiry-Based Learning
- A student-centered approach where learners are actively involved in constructing knowledge through questioning, investigation, and exploration.
- The inquiry-based learning process consists of four key components: Orientation/Observation, Question/Conceptualize, Investigation, and Conclusion.
- This approach promotes deep understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Practical Work Approach
- Emphasizes hands-on learning experiences, often with manipulatives or real-world materials.
- This approach allows students to physically interact with abstract concepts, facilitating a deeper understanding through tactile experience.
Writing to Learn
- Encourages learners to write about their learning experiences to process and synthesize information.
- This active reflection strategy can improve understanding and retention, encouraging students to engage with the material at a deeper level.
Discovery Learning
- A type of teaching strategy focused on student-driven exploration and discovery of concepts.
- Three main forms of discovery Learning: Free Discovery, Guided Discovery, and Problem-Based Learning.
Free Discovery
- Students are given minimal guidance and allowed to explore independently, making their own discoveries through independent exploration.
Guided Discovery
- Provides structure and support to students as they explore concepts, facilitating their discovery process with teacher guidance.
Problem-Based Learning
- Students learn by engaging in real-world problems, collaborating to identify solutions, and developing their problem-solving skills.
Shrinklit
- A creative writing strategy used to synthesize complex literature into poetic forms.
- Encourages a deeper personal engagement with the text by prompting students to explore various dimensions and reflect on their individual interpretations.
Manipulatives
- Physical objects used in teaching mathematics to help visualize abstract concepts, making them more tangible and easier to understand.
- Manipulatives facilitate a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships by allowing students to explore and interact with them physically.
