12. Presentation Model of Instruction • A tightly structured teacher-centered model designed to help students acquire & assimilate information expected to be learned • 4 phases: • Presenting objectives • Use of advanced organizers to scaffold new information • Presenting information to be learned • Helping students extend and strengthen their thinking Return to Instructional Design

13. Using Presentation Lessons in the Classroom • Connect content and advance organizers to student’s prior knowledge • Be sure lesson delivery is clear by explaining links of information, providing examples with rules, and carefully planned verbal transitions • Help students extend and discipline their thinking by using higher order questioning and discussions Return to Instructional Design

15. Direct Instruction Model • Designed to help students master well structured academic content and acquire specified skills in step-by-step fashion • 5 phases • Establish rationale/goals of the lesson • Explain and/or demonstrate knowledge or skill • Guided practice • Debrief/feedback/check for understanding • Extended practice Return to Instructional Design

16. Using Direct Instruction Lessons in the Classroom • Prepare specific learning objectives that address student behavior, testing situation, and performance criteria (STP) • Break tasks/skills into logical steps • Proceed through the 5 phases (goals, demonstrate, guided practice, debrief, extended practice) Return to Instructional Design

18. Concept Teaching • Involves the learning of specific concepts, the nature of concepts, and the development of logical reasoning & critical thinking • May be deductive (rule to example) or inductive (example to rule) • Proceeds through 4 primary phases: • Clarify goals & conditions • Illustrate examples & nonexamples • Students provide examples & nonexamples to demonstrate attainment of concept • Guide students to think about their own thinking (examine their decisions, consequences of choices, how concept fits in with bigger picture) Return to Instructional Design

19. Using Concept Teaching in the Classroom • Select Big Idea concepts and determine the best approach: • inductive through direct presentation of the concept first, or • Deductive (Concept Attainment) through examples/nonexamples & guided discovery • Clarify aims/establish a “hook” to draw students in • Proceed through the selected inductive or deductive approach using examples & nonexamples • Get students to demonstrate their understanding • Employ higher-level questioning & discussion strategies -- help students analyze their own thinking processes Return to Instructional Design

21. Problem-Based Learning • A problem situation is presented to students who then investigate & problem solve to find solutions. • 5 major phases: • Orientation to the problem & lesson objectives • Review logistical details to tackle the problem • Oversee student activities such as data collection, experimenting & finding solutions • Extend the findings by preparing appropriate presentations, models, reports, etc. • Reflective analysis on the processes & results student results Return to Instructional Design

22. Using Problem-Based Learning in the Classroom • Careful planning is paramount – in particular: clearly defined goals & objectives, puzzling & ill-defined problems to spark interest, & logistical organization of resources & tools. • Work through the 5 phases of PBL instruction, bearing in mind that the teacher facilitates and the students investigate & problem-solve.

24. Cooperative Learning Students work together in small groups and learn through interaction with each other while the teacher coaches the process. Return to Instructional Design

25. 5 Major Phases • Teacher clarifies goals, provides a hook and introductory information • Organize student teams with clearly defined roles • Facilitate team activities, including academiclearning, social skills & cooperative behavior • Assess student knowledge throughout the process and/or by team presentations • Recognize both group & individualefforts such as active participation and taking responsibility for learning Return to Instructional Design

26. Phase 1: Goals, Hook & Introduction • The 3 instructional goals of cooperative learning are: • Academic achievement, • Tolerance and acceptance of diversity, and • Development of social skills • Consider how you will communicate these goals in your introduction Return to Instructional Design

27. Phase 2: Teams and Roles • Organize materials, learning experiences and small group activities by paying attention to 4 key features: • Form heterogeneous teams • How students will work together in small groups (Student Teams, Jigsaw, Group Investigation, Think-Pair-Share) • How behavior and results will be recognized or rewarded • Realistic time estimate Return to Instructional Design

40. Classroom Discussion • An enhanced form of everyday class discussions, characterized by explicit attention to improved conceptual understanding, thinking processes, communication and social skills. • 5 phases: • Establish aims & ground rules of the discussion • Ask a leading question or provide discrepant event/discussion topic • Keep the flow going with questioning, responses, wait times, paraphrasing, summarizing, and so on • Summarize the discussion • Students self-evaluate the discussion and thinking processes Return to Instructional Design

41. Using Classroom Discussion in the Classroom • Recognize that good discussions require planning just like any other lesson. Look at the different kinds of discussions & choose the one that fits your purposes. • In preparation, take into account the purpose of the discussion and students’ prior knowledge & communication/discussion skills. • Remember the use of physical space – seating in a U-shape or circle is more conducive to engaging discussions that straight rows. • Work through the 5 phases with attention to convergent & divergent questions (many prepared ahead of time), slowing the pace to broaden participation, use of wait time, refocusing the discussion as needed, and so on.
