20 Direct Instruction

Question 1

A model for teaching that emphasizes a well developed and carefully planned lesson plans designed around small learning increments and clearly defined and prescribe teaching tasks.

Based on the theory that clear instruction eliminating miss interpretations can greatly Improve and accelerate learning

Usually involves a script for the teacher.

Can be done individually or with a group in choral responding format

Answer 1

Direct instruction

Question 2

Students are placed in an instructional setting at their skill level

instruction is modified To accommodate each student rate of learning

Programs or field tested and revised before publication to ensure the program structure will lead to student mastery of the content

Teachers script is used for instructing students on rules, examples, non-examples, principles and procedures

Students often respond simultaneously i.e., chorally, sometimes at a rate of about 10 responses per minute

The volley between teacher and student responses is very rhythmic and students typically respond loudly and enthusiastically

Answer 2

Direct instruction

Question 3

ASR 1

Direct instruction does not include:

Loud, enthusiastic student responding

Choral responding from groups

Teach Scripps that in for student mastery

Droning on and boring tedious

Answer 3

D

Question 4

A system for defining instructional targets, monitoring daily performance, and organizing and presenting performance data in a uniform manner to facilitate timely and effective instructional designs

Does not dictate what should be taught or how instruction should proceed.
Rather, it represents a set of strategies and tactics for a valuation whatever program a teacher might choose to implement.

Involves a daily recording of the frequencies of different classroom performances on a standard chart.

In practice, the frequency i.e., rate of responses and time spent recording those responses, I tracked and displayed on a standardized chart or graph-Historically the standard celeration chart – SCC

Answer 4

Precision teaching

Question 5

If a student’s performance is progressing to fluency or not, it will show on the chart.

The chart allows students and teachers to make daily, timely and quick instructional decisions that are based on the data

Answer 5

Standard celeration chart - used in precision teaching

NOT On the fourth edition test

Question 6

Course material is broken down into two units, each of which has text materials, essays and quizzes at the end

Proctors, former students, immediately grade performance of students on the quizzes and also provide for mediation of tutoring

Students take the quizzes at their own pace and cannot progress to the next unit until the master the quizzes from the previous units

Answer 6

Personalized system of instruction

Question 7

1. Self pacing: a student is permitted to move through the chorus at a speed that fits with his or her ability and time constraints
2. Mastery learning: a student can only move to the next unit after they’ve achieved 90 to 100% on unit quizzes, and they get repeated opportunities to demonstrate such mastery
3. Emphasis on the written word and/or audio visual recordings: permanent instructional materials and clear objectives are carefully structured from simple to more complex and are the sources of critical information rather than live lectures.
4. Lectures and demonstrations are for motivation: lectures are not to be a source of critical information. So the teacher is less of a talking book and more of a learning system manager/creator of curriculum materials
5. Student proctor is: repeated testing, immediate scoring, tutoring, and one to one attention can be achieved through the use of well-qualified former student proctors

In addition to students benefiting from the proctors, the practice benefit through learning more by teaching and the teacher benefits to having more time for devoting to activities that require greater levels of expertise

Answer 7

Five features that distinguish PSI (Personalize system of instruction) from conventional teaching procedures

Question 8

ASR

Which of the following is not true of precision teaching

It provides a well-planned, stand alone instructional sequence from a highly structured curriculum

Continuous data graphs on a standard display allows teachers to regularly make quick database decisions

The frequency of student responses is typically track an effort to get students to demonstrate fluency in a skill

None of the above

Answer 8

A

Question 9

ASR

Which of the following is most true of PSI?

It requires choral responding from groups

The frequency of student responses is tracked on an SCC in effort to get students to demonstrate fluency in a skill

Lectures are not the main source of critical information

All of the above

Answer 9

C. Lectures are not the main source of critical information

Choice A is descriptive of Direct instruction

Choice B is more typical of Precision teaching
