provides guidelines to realize goals. It helps in designing instructional activities and environmental facilities, carrying out of these activities and realization of the stipulated objectives. ( Jangira and Singh). Continued… Models are perspective teaching stratigies designed to accomplish particular instructional goals. (Pant De Egger Et al.) To confirm in behavior, action and to direct one’s to action according to some particular design or idea is called model. (H.C. Wyld) Continued… The model of teaching is a way to talk and think about instruction in which certain facts be organized, classified and interpreted. (Hyman) Teaching models may be considered as a combination of learning goals, environmental manipulations and other processes. (Bhatnagar) Continued… Teaching models are just instructional designs. They describe the process of specifying and producing particular environmental situations which cause the student to interact in such a way that specific change occurs in his behavior. (Joyce and Weil) Continued… Teaching model is a pattern or plan which can be used to shape a curriculum or course , to select international material and to guide a teacher’s action. A Model of Teaching consist of guidelines for designing educational activities and environments. It specifies ways of teaching and learning that are intended to achieve certain kinds of goals. 1. Focus 2. Syntax 3. Principles of reactions 4. The social system 5. The support system 6. Application It is the central aspect of a teaching model. For what the model stands is the theme of the focus. All the teaching models are meant for achieving some specific goals or objectives of teaching in relation to the environment of the learner. Therefore, the objectives of teaching and aspects of the environment, generally constitute the focus of the model. It refers to the description of the model in action. Each model consists of several phases and activities which have to be arranged in specific sequence quite unique to a particular model. The syntax helps a teacher use the model, and how he should begin and proceed further. While using the model, how a teacher should regard and respond to the activities of the student is a concern of this element. Every model, through its principles of reaction, provides the teacher with particular and unique rules of thumb by which to “tune in” to the student and select appropriate responses to what the student does. This element refers to the following descriptions: i. Interactive roles and relationships between the teacher and the student. ii. The kinds of norms that are encouraged and the student behavior that is rewarded. This element refers to the additional requirements beyond the usual human skills or capacities from the teachers and the facilities or schedules available in an ordinary classroom. Support system contributes towards the success of a model by generating a desirable classroom environment. Each model through its element of application context tries to describe the feasibility of its use in varying contexts, achieving specific educational goals and demanding specific work environment. They help in bringing about the desirable change in the behavior of the learner. They help in guiding the teacher to select appropriate teaching technique, strategies and methods for the effective utilization of the teaching situation and material for realizing the objectives. They help in achieving desirable teacher- pupil interaction during teaching. They help in finding out ways and means of creating favorable environmental situation for carrying out teaching process. They help in designing appropriate educational activities. They help in the construction of a curriculum or contents of a course. They help to establish teaching and learning relationship empirically. They help in the formation of theory of teaching. They stimulate the development of new educational innovations. They assist procedure of material to create interesting and effective materials and learning source. They help in the proper selection of instruction material for teaching the prepared course or curriculum. The classification of teaching models based on their nature, characteristics and effects consists of four families. Information Processing Model
Social Interaction Models
Personal Development Models
Behaviour Modification Models
The term information processing has been introduced by Joyce and Weil(1972). Information processing refers to the way people handle stimuli from the environment, organize data, sense problems, generates concepts and solutions to problems, and employ verbal and non-verbal symbols. Examples- Inductive thinking model – Hilda Taba
Inquiry training model – Richard Suchman
Concept attainment model – Jerome Bruner
Advance organizer model – David Ausubel
Social interaction models are concerned with the attainment of the social goals belonging to the affective domain. The model belonging to this category give more emphasis on the development of the society. Examples- Classroom meeting model – William Glaser
Jurisprudential model – Donald Oliver and
James P. Shaver Social inquiry model – Byron Massials and Benjamin Cox Group investigation model – Herbert Thelen and John Deway This family of models is concerned with the realization of the instructional goals belonging to the affective domain. They emphasize the process by which individuals can establish productive relationship with their environment and design their unique individuality for realizing the personal goals. Examples- Non directive model – Carl Rogers
Awareness training model – Fritz Pearls
Synectics model – William gordon
Conceptual system model – David Hunt
The models belonging to this family are related to behaviour modification theory. They have evolved from the attempts to develop efficient systems for sequensing learning tasks and shaping the behaviour through management of the reinforcement contingencies. Examples – Mastery learning – Benjamin Bloom
Programmed sheduled (Task performance
reinforcement) – B. F. Skinner Simulation – Carl Smith and Marry Smith Thank you
