According to Tweed, A, in “ Designing Effective Science Instruction”, Science teachers should be more effective when planning and implementing science content by focusing on some important strategies in order to provide students with meaningful opportunities and refine their science understandings in authentic contexts. One of these important strategies is an engaging student in scientific inquiry. Many science educators think that inquiry-based instruction leads to better science understandings…

spoiler, metal axles, and a sheet of stickers. My dad had acquiesced to my begging him to take me, an enthusiastic eight-year-old car guy, to Home Depot to add to my collection of toys. I gave the instructions a cursory glance before casting them aside. The finished product seemed simple enough. Instructions? Who needs them? First, the wheels had to go on the axle. I arranged the components and began slamming away with the hammer. On my first attempt, the tool slipped on the slick plastic wheel,…

the necessary part of education process which involves efficient us of cognitive and metacognitive process. Cognition help a person to connect in a multiple range of mental processes in order to realize the world around them. Cognitive Strategy Instruction (CSI) is an instructional approach which emphasizes the expansion of thinking as a means to enhance learning [1]. Cognitive strategies cannot be functional satisfactorily without the support of metacognitive strategies. Metacognition goes a…

In order to make math content more accessible to all my students, I must consider their background and outside influences. Many of the students I work with come from low socioeconomic household and are English Language Learner. Historically these populations continue to perform poorly in mathematics. The crisis in mathematics learning among minority and low-income students is a great concern. With the implementation of Common Core Mathematics, there is an even greater push for boosting…

The Direct Instruction Approach video shows instruction in action inside the classroom setting to teach words and is fast paced and fluid. The students verbally respond collectively and are individually checked occasionally by the teacher to demonstrate their knowledge. The teacher quickly corrects any mistakes and moves on with the corrections. This repetition is attributed to the success of the approach by a teacher. The video depicts a word being read at prompt of teacher, spelled out, and…

These notwithstanding, there are many disadvantages bewildering the use of Computer- Assisted- Instruction. 1. It is expensive. It involves the use of computers and programmed instruction. Most of these are to be imported. The cost is much and the country may not be able to afford it. 2. There are few trained personnel i.e. teachers and programmers in the use of the technique in the country now. Thus, we cannot boast of programmes which will match our needs in the country. 3. CAI may generate…

Reading instruction is very important, especially for beginning readers. Without the proper teaching techniques and classroom instruction students can fall permanently behind by the third grade. Using reading intervention plans can help save those students that slipped by and are struggling in the high grades, it also can prevent a student from falling behind at all with early intervention. The Flex program from McGraw-Hill is a data driven program proven effective from results and evidence…

Curriculum and Instruction Variables: 1. This classroom is quite small, containing a smart board and a white board. There were a few inspirational posters that displayed quotes from people such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi and Amelia Earhart. There was also a wall dedicated to the “Picture of the Day,” a warm up activity generally used to initiate conversation or introduce the day’s lesson. Since this is an upper school science classroom, there are several textbooks in the room covering…

Annotated Bibliographies for Module 2 Driscoll, M. (2005). Psychology of Learning for Instruction (3rd ed.) (pp. 71-77). Boston, MA: Allyn and Bacon. Driscoll introduces the human information processing system by stating that it is very similar to the way a computer processes and stores information. The reader is introduced to three stages of information processing: sensory memory (which functions to hold information in memory very briefly), working memory (the stage in which further processing…
