Hello Class, According to Hansen, Buczynski, and Puckett (2015), “If teaching matters this much, then we need to focus our attention on examining instructional strategies that work” (p. 144). The Direct Instruction Model During direct instruction students are given a lesson with an intentional end goal that is met through intentional strategies which are created by the teacher. As the most known instructional strategy, direct instruction has five components; declare learning outcomes, introduce new material, model practice with new material, show understanding, and students independently practice. Direct instruction also encompasses two main parts; lecturing and questioning. Cooperative Learning Model Cooperative learning includes students working in small groups within the classroom to expand upon their personal understanding and the understanding of their peers. The groups are mixed and children are developing skills to promote independence. PBL Model PBL stands for project-based learning and problem-based learning. Project-based learning is focused on the output, or the product. Problem-based learning is focused on the process of finding the solution. Students learning not just how to better comprehend curriculum, but also how to take accountability, gain confidence, create solutions, work as teams, discuss effectively and be innovative. Inquiry-Based Model Inquiry-based learning allows students to practice skills such as finding, gathering, and applying experience in a variety of situations. This model is designed to help students identify an issue and formulate a query or hypothesis. The students then use relevant sources to gather as much information as possible on the topic they are researching. Student then must thoroughly examine all of the findings that they uncover in the sources and give a solution to the problem based on their findings.
Hello Class, Working to become a preschool educator, project-based learning is most appealing to me. According to Hansen, Buczynski, and Puckett (2015), “Through this teaching method, students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended time on a real-world challenge to produce a product” (p. 157). In a project-based learning classroom students are actively developing their understanding over time. They are interacting with peers while working to problem-solve or answer questions. Therefore, it encompasses the instructional models of cooperative learning and inquiry-based learning. When students are unsure about something during their learning, there is space for direct instruction either from the teacher or a peer. I am an educator that loves to watch children be independent in their thinking and learning. When students ask me a question, I first ask them why they think something is happening. I like to know what they are thinking before I add information. For example, if a child asks me, “Where does rain come from?” I would ask, “Where do you think rain comes from?” Project-based learning encourages children to think critically, explore, engage, and problem-solve.
