HOW DO COGNITIVE TEACHING STRATEGIES HELP STUDENTS LEARN? Pg. 187-191
Advance Organizers • advance organizers- Activities and techniques that orient students to the material before reading or class presentation
Analogies • Analogies- Images, concepts, or narratives that compare a new information to information students already understand.
Elaboration • Elaboration- The process of connection new material to information or ideas already in the learner’s mind • “The gray-haired man carried the bottle.” • “The gray-haired man carried the bottle of hair dye.”
Organizing Information • Material that is well organized is much easier to learn and remember than material that is poorly organized • Hierarchical organization, in which specific issues are grouped under more general topics, seams particularly helpful for student understanding
Using Questioning techniques • Insertion of questions requiring students to stop from time to time to assess their own understanding of the material. • Presenting questions before the introduction • Having students generate their own questions
Using Conceptual Models • Conceptual model- or diagrams showing how elements of a process relate to one another • Knowledge map- graphically shows the main concepts of a topic of study and the links between them
