Chapter 10 Flashcards
Instructional objective
A statement describing a final goal or outcome of instruction
Cognitive domain
Learning new information and continual thinking
Psychomotor (neuromuscular) domain
Simple and complex physical movements
Affective domain
Attitudes, values and emotional skills
Bloom’s taxonomy
Provides a framework for the progression of learning from basic levels to higher levels of processing
6 learning tasks: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating
Short-term objective
An objective that can typically be accomplished within the course of a single lesson or unit
Long-term objective
An objective that requires months or years of instruction to be accomplished
Task analysis
A process of identifying the specific knowledge and/or behaviours necessary to master a particular subject area or skill
Expository instruction
Information is presented in the same format that students are expected to learn it (ex. teacher to student)
Lectures and textbooks- succinct but passive!
Mastery and learning
An approach to instruction when students learn one topic thoroughly before moving to a more difficult one
Direct instruction
An approach to instruction that uses a variety of techniques to promote learning of basic skills and to maintain attention (multi-modal)
Programmed instruction
Approach to instruction where students independently study a topic that has been broken into small, carefully sequenced segments
Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a learning partner
Using new technologies to enhance learning and make it more accessible to unique student circumstances
Behaviour analysis
A process of identifying the specific knowledge and behaviours necessary to master a particular subject area or skill (ex. driving standard involves turning on the ignition, steering, accelerating, stepping on the gas etc.)
Subject matter analysis
Break down the subject matter into specific topics, concepts, principles etc. (ex. identify various aspects of the legal system)
-especially important when the content includes many interrelated ideas and concepts
Information processing analysis
Specify the cognitive processes involved in a task and helps to give you a better sense of what your students need to learn and what instructional strategies to use
Developing a lesson plan
A lesson plan typically includes the objectives of the instruction, the instructional strategies used, instructional materials and equipment required and the assessment methods planned
Computer-assisted instruction (CAI)
Programmed instruction presented by means of a computer (one form of computer-based instruction)
Discovery learning
An approach to instruction where students develop an understanding of a topic through firsthand interaction with the physical or social environment (ex. lab experiments, library research projects, trial and error)
Lower-level question
A question that requires students to express what they have learned in essentially the same way they learned it (ex. reciting a textbook’s definition of a concept or describing an application their teacher presented in class)
Higher-level question
A question that requires students to do something new with the information they have learned (ex. applying, analyzing, evaluating, creating, planning and using metacognitive strategies)
Cognitive strategy teaching
A teaching approach that enables students to regulate their learning (ex. reciprocal teaching, informed strategies for learning, the learning strategies curriculum and transactional strategies)
Computer-supported collaborative learning
Enables individual students and groups to work together for a common purpose and helps to scaffold or support students in learning together effectively
Co-operative learning
An approach to instruction where students work with their classmates to achieve group goals and help one another learn
Jigsaw technique
An instructional technique in which instructional materials are divided among members of a co-operative learning group, with individual students being responsible for learning different material and then teaching that material to other group members
Scripted co-operation
In co-operative learning, a technique in which co-operative groups follow a set of steps or a script that guides members’ verbal interactions
-Makes students individually accountable for their achievement but also reinforces them for group success
Base groups
A co-operative learning group that works together for an entire semester or school year and provides a means through which students can be mutually supportive of one another’s academic efforts and activities
Peer tutoring
An approach to instruction where students who have mastered a topic teach those who have not which encourages students to organize and elaborate on what they have learned in order to explain it to another student
