  2. Identifying similarities and differences is an instructional strategy that researchers say is basic to human thought. The average effect size is 1.61 with a percentile gain of 45 percent and a standard deviation of 0.31 • In this the students learn by identifying similarities and differences of the topics presented by comparing, classifying, creating metaphors and analogies . These can be student based or teacher based.

  3. IN K&L • Comparison is done by identifying important characteristics and using them as the basis to find the similarities and the differences. The use of bow tie diagram to compare and contrast, Venn diagram and T-charts are some of the graphical organizers for comparing • Classifying is organizing elements into groups based on their similarities. For example using the foldable to classify the different theories of learning . Other graphic organizers include concept maps and tables • Metaphors are created by connecting two items that have no relations using an abstract. For example connecting a term or concept in learning, with something in nature. • Analogies are created by identifying similar relationships between a pair of dissimilar concepts. An example of using analogy in K & L can be using the theorist and the theory.

  4. In a Math /Science Classroom • Comparisons can be used when dealing with concepts that are similar but have some differences. For example, mitosis and meiosis • Classifying can be used to better understand broad topics, by classifying them into groups. For example, classifying theorems in math, classifying matters into solid liquid and gas in science. • Metaphors can be used to connect a term or a concept to something unrelated using an abstract. This helps the student to create connections between concepts that are familiar with those that are not familiar for example, connecting magnet and an insect because they both attract something. • Analogies can be used to compare relationships that are similar with concepts that are not similar. This helps the student to relate what they are learning to something they already learnt. For example comparing areas of different shapes.
