  1. Types of Activities Do-type Activities

  2. Do-type Activities While absorb activities provide information, do activities transform that information into knowledge and skills. In do-type activities, learners: discover, decode, analyze, verify, combine, organize, discuss, debate, evaluate, refine, elaborate, and most importantly, apply knowledge.

  3. Why use Do Activities? To provide safe, encouraging practice to prepare learners for applying learning in the real world. To motivate learners by activating curiosity for material they might otherwise consider boring. To prepare for absorb activities by showing learners how little they know about the subject and making clear the value of information they are to absorb. To enable learning by exploration and discovery.

  4. Do-type Activities Types of do-type activities: Practice, Discovery, Games & Simulations.

  5. Do-type Activities:Practice • Practice helps learners strengthen and refine skills, knowledge, and attitudes by applying them and receiving feedback. • Practice tasks do not teach new information. • They give learners an opportunity to exercise newly acquired abilities.

  6. Do-type Activities: Practice • Types of practice activities: • Drill-and-practice activities: are the repeated application of a series of similar, simple tasks. They help learners automate skills and improve fluidity of application. Example • Hands-on activities :allow learners to perform tasks with real tools but with guidance. They teach real tasks and help learners apply theory.

  7. Do-type Activities: Practice 3. Guided analysis activities: lead learners through an analysis task with step-by- step instructions. They strengthen a learner ability to perform a complex cognitive task. 4.Teamwork activities: require learners to perform a complex distributed task.

  8. Do-type Activities:Discovery • Used for exploratory learning: learners discover knowledge and skills for themselves. • To reveal principles: learners prefer experiments that let them discover principles, relationships, and trends. • To stimulate curiosity about subjects: discoveries can focus learner’s attention on a subject and motivate him to seek explanations.

  9. Do-type Activities: Discovery • Types of discovery activities: • Virtual Laboratories: learners interact with a system to discover principles. • Case studies: learners analyze complex, real situation to understand its underlying causes and concepts. • Role-playing scenarios: learners interact with others in situations to infer best behaviors and strategies.
