! In order to choose which instructional
method best suits your students consider the
following:
! What is the purpose of teaching the content?
! What are my student's needs?
! What are the cognitive abilities of my students?
! What are their mental characteristics? How do
they think?
! How are their attention spans?
What you should know...
! Texas employs the constructivist approach (content exam) as it believes the
teacher is a facilitator and students are active participants in the learning
process.
! This process supports student centered learning. For example, in English, It is
where students are writing, speaking, and reading by themselves with little
support or direct instruction from the teacher.
! It employs Higher order thinking: Analyzing, Synthesizing, evaluating/Judging.
! Making sure students follow these steps, you will be helping them build cognitive
confidence and help dependent students turn into independent students.
! These strategies involve students actively participating in their learning (Moore,
pg.315). Even though it is not suggested to use this strategy to teach
fundamental information, students are able to go beyond the basics to make
their own conclusions and generalizations.
Bloom's Taxonomy
! Moore suggests that teachers use both methods, direct and indirect, in order to
maximize student retention of information.
! In order for students to truly retain information, teachers must familiarize
themselves with Bloom's Taxonomy (revised, 2001): Remember, Understand, Apply,
Analyze, Evaluate, and Create. All of these include a list of words that help
students perform each category of demands.
! Examples of words:
! Remember
! Recognizing
! Recalling
! Understand
! Interpreting
! Inferring
! Explaining
Why invest in learning about cognitive
domains?
1. Objectives (learning goals) are important to establish in a pedagogical
interchange so that teachers and students alike understand the purpose
of that interchange.
2. Teachers can benefit from using frameworks to organize objectives
because organizing objectives helps to clarify objectives for themselves
and for students.
3. Having an organized set of objectives helps teachers to:
! “plan and deliver appropriate instruction”
! “design valid assessment tasks and strategies”
! “ensure that instruction and assessment are aligned with the
objectives.” (Mcdaniel, 1970).
It's all about Self-Efficacy!
! Of course, "what can be considered the best teaching practices
constitutes an inherently unending debate, as it is a consensus
that the best practices vary with context and goals" (Good, et
al., 2006). The truth is that most teachers at some point or
another, will find themselves employing both constructivist or
direct instruction agendas.
! Inclusively, researchers have "concluded that high self-efficacy
influences teachers’ interpretation of successes and
disappointments, the standards they set and their approaches to
coping with difficult instructional situations (Bandura, 1997).
! Teachers may find themselves using different models, modes,
and strategic process in order to best teach students based on
their needs however teaching students resiliency and strategies
for being a better student are proven to increase teaching
quality.
! Self-efficacy extends to the belief that teachers who are
confident in themselves produce confident students in the
classroom. This means students goals, expectations, and
strategies used to tackle instructional demands will be higher.
Self-efficacy does not just aide the teacher, it instructs,
coaches, and develops all students in the class.
