Direct Instruction Gaining Attention Modeling and Prompting Guided Practice Independent Practice

Systematic planning of instruction Essential elements Sequence

Systematic and Direct Instruction DI is appropriate for teaching basic skills SI is a general procedure based upon DI

DI: Appropriate for teaching basic skills Cross-curricular skills (reading, writing, basic computation, study skills). Content-specific skills (learning science vocabulary, lab procedures, reading maps, etc.).

Direct Instruction Process Gain the students’ attention Structure the lesson (preview, advance organizer) Modeling Guided Practice Independent Practice Review

Teacher Behaviors During Instruction Ask many task-related questions. Prompting Engage students during modeling Provide corrective/”non-corrective” feedback

Teacher Behaviors During Instruction Maintain an appropriate pace Use an appropriate style-to-lesson format Monitor class behavior Review with reteaching

Tools of Instruction Preparation Delivery Evaluation Task analysis Determining level of mastery Delivery Using appropriate examples/non-examples Determining appropriate activities to frame learning objectives Evaluation Test what has been taught Testing based on how you taught

Informal Presentation (small DI) Format Preview Present Review Ideal for an advance organizer Best used for Teaching about something (e.g. the three components of a behavioral objective Content topics, vocabulary, well-defined knowledge Assessment Checks for understanding

Structured Discovery Primary focus For students to learn academic content Involves supervised practice for “discovered” information and well managed “arena” for discovery Assessment Identify pre-requisite skills so that students can actually discover based on existing skills Competency is assessed on the specified objective

Inquiry Method Focus on learning or experience a process Identifying and collecting data elements Examining the experience of “finding” information or skill Assessment Review of the processes used in learning something new Management Primarily facilitative of groups or individuals Synthesis discussions

Concept Teaching A specialized form of content instruction Can use discovery, inquiry, or DI Focus is on attributes (and non-attributes) of a phenomenon (action, idea, process, or other) Planning includes Concept analysis Choice of instructional model
