EnvironmentStudentLearning Flashcards
Objectives
Planning for instruction begins with choosing an objective that expresses this purpose; refers to outcomes, while goals usually refer to more general purposes of instruction
Benjamin Bloom
three domains of learning: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor
Six Levels on Cognitive Domain
most useful in classifying objectives
Choosing and Sequencing Objectives
should meet the overall goal of the school district
Modifying Objectives
to meet your needs, to meet needs of diverse student populations
Writing Objectives
should not be overly specific, involved, or complicated
Planning to Teach the Lesson
Determine the prerequisite competencies; knowledge and skills students possess to learn the objective
Anticipatory set
something that is said or done to prepare students and focus the students on the lesson
Objective and purpose
teacher state the objective of the lesson and the students is aware of the objective
Input
new information
Modeling
the skills or procedures being taught or demonstrated
Checking for understanding
following the instructional components in the previous two stages, the teacher should ensure that students understand the concept before moving to the next phases of the lesson
Guided practice
students are given the opportunity to practice or use the concept or skill with the teacher’s guidance
Independent practice
students practice or use the concept on their own
Assessment program/instrument
measure mastery and understanding of important topics
Formative assessment
information is usually gathered before or during teaching; used to help you prepare appropriate lessons and assist students; help teachers decide which objectives to teach, which instructional techniques to use, and which special help or services to provide to individual students
Summative assessment
information is usually gathered once instruction is complete; used to make judgments about student achievement and the effectiveness of the instructional programs
Assessment Instruments
Tests used to determine what students have learned and to compare students. student may know something but be unable to demonstrate it on a particular test
Errors of Measurement
every test contains errors of measurement; no one test accurately measures a student’s achievement or ability
Reliability
a reliable test is consistent; gives similar results when given to the same person in a short time span
Validity
valid tests measure what they are supposed to measure
Norm-referenced
designed to compare students (intelligence tests)
Standardized achievement tests
yield grade-level equivalent and percentile scores;
Criterion-referenced tests
designed to determine the degree to which an objective has been reached (teacher-made tests); very high content validity
Authentic Assessment
students are asked to demonstrate the skill or knowledge in a real-life setting; collaborate with teacher and discuss progress and how to facilitate that learning
Motivation
interests the learner and focuses their attention on the lesson
Intrinsic motivation
refers to topics that students like or enjoy; based on a knowledge of what is popular or interesting to students of a particular age
extrinsic motivation
focuses on external rewards for good work or goal attainment; most successful when used in conjunction with more routine work; praise can be used effectively during a lesson if given for a specific accomplishment and focused on student’s own behavior
Indirect Teacher Talk
Accepts feelings-accepts student’s feelings
Direct Teacher Talk
Lectures, explains, or demonstrates-presents facts, opinions, or demonstrations related to the lesson topic
Student Talk
Student talk (response)-responds to teacher’s question
Teacher-centered Approaches
characterized by teacher presentation, a factual question, and a knowledge-based response from the student
Lecture
fairly long verbal presentation of material
Explanation
shorter presentation
Lecture and Explanation
begins with motivation, teacher maintains eye contact, teacher supplies accentuating gestures without extraneous movements, the presentation is limited to about 5-40 minutes depending on the age of the student, objective is clear and the presentation is easy to follow and at an appropriate level
Demonstration
lectures or explanation in which you model what you want students to learn
Teacher Questions
frequently asked during class; address the vast majority of questions to the entire class,
Cooperative Learning
students work together in groups to learn a concept or skill or to complete a project; characterized by active learning, full participation, and democracy within a clearly established structure; students establish personal relationships and a cooperative working style
Inquiry Learning
uses students’ own thought processes to help them learn a concept, solve a problem, or discover a relationship; requires the ost structure and preparation by the teacher
Resources for Instruction
helps the students meet the lesson objectives and match the teaching-learning approach; may include textual, manipulative, technological, and human resources (texts, workbooks, teacher-made handouts, or other printed materials); lab should be tested and safe and everything should be age appropriate for students, and computers may be used
