Instructional Process
(2) Inquiry involving searching and making observations. Inquiry involving presenting generalization and discussing core elements.
Inductive and Deductive Thinking
Students learn with an activity to lead them to particular concepts or conclusions.
Discovery Learning
Substance divided into smaller learning units with their own objectives, assessment and instructional strategies that can be used to teach, model and practice.
Mastery Learning
Students select a project they are interested in where learning is self-taught and centered around their project.
Project Based Learning
Teaching that involves students working cooperatively to solve a real-world problem.
Problem Structuring and Problem Solving
Students solve problems and answer questions through hypotheses, then collect and analyze data to provide evidence for or against their hypothesis.
Inquiry Method
Better instructs visual learners. Examples include photographs, artwork, charts, videos.
Use of visual aids
Students work together to answer a question, analyze data and develop conclusions.
Inquiry Model
The process of considering a variety of possibilities through rational thinking.
Critical Thinking
Involves effort of an instructor to design learning activities to relate to more than one discipline.
Interdisciplinary Instruction
Organizers introduced before the lesson to bridge new concepts and what the students already know.
Advance Organizers
Students work together to solve problems or examine a situation to incorporate many different learning styles and problem-solving skills.
Collaborative Learning
Organizing and working with concepts to improve incorporating those concepts into memory.
Memorization and Recall
Teacher Centered instruction through lecture and presentation.
Direct Instruction
Memory based on association to remember new pieces of information and associated them with prior knowledge.
Mnemocics
Students work together to discuss a goal or objective through introductions to evaluate information and ideas.
Discussion Models
Thinking skills that go beyond recall for solving real world problems to improve retention of knowledge.
Higher Ordered Thinking
Several forms of graphic organizers which allow learners to perceive relationships between concepts by mapping key words.
Concept Mapping
Students take notes as the teacher instructs to select what information they feel is most important.
Note-Taking
Students work in small groups where they are held accountable for themselves and the group.
Cooperative Learning
