Instructional Strategies Principles of Learning and Teaching
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Cognitive processes | Critical thinking, Creative thinking, Questioning, Inductive/Deductive reasoning, Problem solving, Planning, Memory, Recall |
Critical thinking | to arrange, reason, and evaluate information, problem solving, making decisions |
Creative thinking | to produce original ideas or product |
Inductive/Deductive reasoning | Deductive is narrowing a generalization ex: All bald men are grandfathers. Harold is bald. Therefore, Harold is a grandfather. Inductive is broadening a narrow statement. ex: Harold is a grandfather. Harold is bald. Therefore, all grandfathers are bald. |
Instruction Models | direct, indirect, independent, experiential, interactive |
Direct | teacher gives information; lecture, practice, reading |
Indirect | student centered, teacher is facilitator and supporter; inquiry, problem solving, concept mapping |
Independent | self work or with another person with no support; research project, learning centers, computer instruction |
Experiential | Discovery learning; field trips, experiments, role play, games |
Interactive | discussions, group work, coop learning groups, peer instruction |
Complex cognitive processes | concept learning, problem solving, metacognition, critical thinking, transfer |
Concept learning | use webs |
stages of learning | acquisition stage, proficiency, maintenance, generalization, adaptation |
problem solving | coming up with a solution; schema method-recognizing an old solution can be changed to solve the current problem |
transfer | use previously learned material on new material |
complex cognitive process activities | fact/opinion, comparing/contrasting, recognizing bias, predicting, categorizing, analyzing, sequencing, summarizing, inferring, decision making, evaluating, synthesizing, generalizing |
supports for student learning | modeling, self-regulation skills, scaffolding, differentiating instruction, guided practice, coaching |
developing self regulation skills | set goals, manage time, organization, progress monitoring, reflection, productive work environment |
classroom configurations | whole group-large group, small group-groups of 4-6, independent learning-desks in pairs or large group, one-on-one-student with teacher while others are in small groups, pair/share-small groups |
