Hands-on Activity 1:A discovery-learning activity To discover a rule for finding equivalent Fractions.
Reflection • What are the 4 steps that need to be carried out by a pupil in this discovery lesson? • What are the possible constraints to carry out this lesson in a Malaysian primary school? Talk Partners
A Structured Design of a Discovery Learning Lesson • Perform an activity and study the results. • Make a conjecture based on the results. • Test the conjecture. • Make a conclusion on the conjecture.
Hands-on Activity 2: An investigation activity • Chocolate Bar • Make a Ringgit
Reflection • What are the differences between activity 1 and activity 2? • In your opinion, which approach is easier to be carried out in Malaysian primary schools? Why? Talk Partners
A Basic Guide for Teachers • Always try not to give the answers. • Always wait for the pupil’s response. • Offer frequent feedback. • Maintain a climate of acceptance and patience.
Plenary In discovery learning & investigation, pupils will . . . • explore practical examples; • ask & answer questions; • formulate & test conjectures / hypotheses; • 'discover' the concepts or principles which are to be learned. Perform Activity Make & Test Conjecture Conclusion
Ideas discovered by students themselves are … Why discovery learning? • more meaningful; • better understood; • remember well.
