Past Perceptions : Past Perceptions Tutor Tool

Divergent Views : Divergent Views Learning is constructed knowledge Students should be able to generate their own knowledge Constructivists Objectivists Learning is transmitted knowledge Teaching should be teacher-directed, systematic, & structured Constructivist approaches are too inefficient, unstructured, & unsystematic Direct instruction is too ridged & teacher-centered

Theoretical Foundations : Theoretical Foundations Directed Instruction

Learning Theories : Learning Theories Behaviorism: Skinner Information-processing: Atkinson & Shiffrin Teaching Guidelines: Gagne Instructional Design System Approaches

Directed Instruction Characteristics : Directed Instruction Characteristics Focus on teaching sequences based on prerequisite skills Clear objectives with matching test items

Directed Instruction Characteristics : Directed Instruction Characteristics Stresses individualized work Emphasizes traditional teaching & assessment methods

Criticism : Criticism Students Cannot Do Problem Solving Activities Unmotivating Students Cannot Work Cooperatively

Theoretical Foundations : Theoretical Foundations Constructivism

Learning Theories : Learning Theories Social Constructivism: Dewey Scaffolding: Vygotsky Stages of Development: Piaget Discovery Learning: Bruner

Learning Theories : Learning Theories Microworlds: Papert Inert Knowledge, Situated Cognition, & Collaborative Learning Multiple Intelligences: Gardner

Constructivist Learning Characteristics : Constructivist Learning Characteristics Focuses on learning through posing problems, answer exploration, and product development & presentation Pursues global goals and specifies general abilities

Constructivist Learning Characteristics : Constructivist Learning Characteristics Stresses group over individual work Emphasizes alternative learning & assessment methods

Criticism : Criticism How to Certify Learned Skills Need for Prior Knowledge Ability for Students to Choose Effective Instruction Which Topics Suit Methods Transfer of Skills to Practical Situations

Integration Strategies : Integration Strategies

Directed Models : Directed Models Provides Skill Remediation Provides Mastery & Fluency Provides Systematic Self-instruction

Constructivist Models : Constructivist Models Fosters Creativity Fosters Inductive Thinking & Problem Solving Fosters Metacognition

Constructivist Models : Constructivist Models Increases transfer of knowledge to problem solving Fosters group cooperation Allows for multiple & distributed intelligences

Both Models : Both Models Increase motivation Optimize learning resources Remove logistic hurdles to learning Foster communication skills and information & visual literacy
