Instructional Approaches

Question 1

_____________is a called a “transactional model” because at each point in the lesson it requires teach and student interaction.

Answer 1

“Direct Approach”

Question 2

_______________this approach to instruction includes presentation, practice, assessment & evaluation, monitoring and feedback.

Answer 2

“Direct Approach”

Question 3

The “discussion approach” to instruction:

Answer 3

• unique learning exchange that promotes deeper thinking, sharpens analytical skills and empowers participants to become social actors in society
• promotes collaboration and democratic process for learning
• emphasizes questioning, critical thinking and problem solving skills

Question 4

“Experimental approach” to instruction:

Answer 4

• emphasize the students active involvement in negotiating the curriculum and shaping both the process and outcome of the learning.
• experiences allow learners a significant degree of self-direction in the sense the experience should allow them to make decisions
• feedback in the form of failure, contradiction or other outcomes that ask the learner to question their assumption or processes as particularly valuable as they initiate reflection.

Question 5

“Problem based-instruction”:

Answer 5

Facilitated problem solving where student learning is organized around a complex problem that does not have a singer correct answer. PBI typically starts with presentation of the problem rather than a lecture or reading assignment intended to impart discipline-specific knowledge to the student. Students engage with the problem, generate ideas and possible solutions, determine what they currently know and do not know, establish learning goals, conduct research to
acquire the knowledge and skills needed to develop a viable solution to the problem, reflect on the problem utilizing new information and reflect on their problem solving process.

Question 6

“Simulation” approach to instruction:

Answer 6

Involves interaction with a dynamic, changing, computable model; new states of the model are determined by the learner’s actions toward the model or by its own continuous computations.

Question 7

There are five general instructional approaches:

Answer 7

1. Direct
2. Discussion
3. Experimental
4. Problem-based
5. Simulation
