Planning and Preparation
The difference between curriculum and pedagogy
What is taught? Curriculum
How is it taught? Pedagogy
The theory of what we learn comes from observing others
What is the social cognitive theory?
Each student is responsible for their own learning and contribution
A tool a teacher gives before a lesson to help students get ready to learn. It gives a big-picture view or a “mental roadmap” of what’s coming
What is an advance organizer?
Must be present for something to belong to a concept. Without these attributes, it is not considered part of that category
What is a critical attribute?
The 4 types of knowledge
What is factual, procedural, conceptual, and meta-cognitive?
One’s beliefs in one’s capacity to be successful in a specific endeavor
What is self-efficacy?
Students reflect on how well they worked together and how to improve
What is group processing?
Organizing information or items into familiar, manageable units
What is chunking?
The teacher shares examples and non-examples; but, allows the students to do the grouping and deciding which are which. Then, they come up with a definition, turning from divergent to convergent thinking as they more specifically zero in on the concept and its features
What is inductive?
The definition of a learning objective
What is a clear statement describing what a student will be able to do after a lesson or course is completed
Applying focused and effortful practice to develop specific skills and concepts beyond one's current abilities
What is deliberate practice?
Students need one another to do the learning task
What is positive interdependence?
This model explains what is at work when teachers present new knowledge to their students. It's a model that explains how our brain takes in information, makes sense of it, and stores it
What is information processing model?
Lesson begins with students brainstorming what they already know about a concept. Once they have developed some ideas, they group and regroup and end with synthesizing their ideas about the concept
What is concept development?
The type of question that is open-ended, sparks curiosity, and is revisited throughout a unit
What is an essential question?
Allows people to sense the discrepancy between what they did and what they should have done, which enables them to adjust future actions
What is feedback?
Once students know these structures, they can be used across any subject or content area
A strategy to check for understanding
What is an exit ticket, teach-back, think-pair-share, etc.?
Teacher inputs examples and non-examples and tells students which ones are which. The students work to develop hypotheses about the concept and its critical attributes and end with applying their definition to other examples (or explain how non-examples could become examples)
What is concept attainment?
The 3 stages of backwards design
What is to identify desired results, determine assessment evidence, and plan learning experiences
The key features of the direct instruction model
What is introduction, demonstration, guided practice, and independent practice?
The three goals of cooperative learning
What is academic achievement, acceptance and knowledge of diversity, and social skills?
The 4 basic phases of a presentation/explanation lesson
What is gaining attention, presenting advance organizer, present learning material, and check for understanding?
Another word for "best example"
What is a prototype?
