You need to understand ‘types’ of thinking and ‘levels’ of thinking Types of Thinking Inductive Deductive Ranking Predicting Sequence Inquiry Prioritizing Identify Levels of Thinking Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge

So in terms of Curriculum the teacher must… Understand objectives Understand what level of thinking is explicit - the level the student will be assessed at Understand what level of thinking is implicit - the level you have to teach at Understand what type of thinking is required Match that knowledge to instructional methods Assess meaningfully

Overview of Instructional Intelligence Instructional intelligence involves: Knowledge of the learner Knowledge of curriculum Knowledge of assessment Knowledge of instruction Knowledge of change Knowledge of systemic change

One component of “Knowledge of Instruction” is … Graphic Organizers

Objective for this session… Extend our understanding of and ability to apply two complex graphic organizers: Mind Mapping and Concept Mapping. In addition, to sense how to integrate multiple graphic organizers BY using concept attainment and a Venn diagram, watching a video on Mind Mapping and creating a Concept Map

What do you already know? With a partner, take about two minutes and identify all the graphic organizers you have seen and hopefully experienced.

Compare your list with this list - and there is no doubt more. Fish Bone, Concept Map, Mind Map, Flow Chart, Time Line, Word Web, Venn Diagram, Ranking Ladder etc.

What type of thinking and level of thinking do Mind Maps and Concept Maps Invoke?

‘TYPES’ of thinking and ‘LEVELS’ of thinking Types of Thinking Inductive Deductive Ranking Predicting Sequence Inquiry Prioritizing Levels of Thinking Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge

GIVEN Concept Maps and Mind Maps (if done properly) ask students to first identify what they know and then classify that knowledge into categories -- therefore -- it must be analysis re levels of thinking and inductive thinking regarding types of thinking.

a sample provincial outcome By the end of grade six students will demonstrate their understanding of the four types of motion: oscillating, linear, reciprocating, and rotational. This has explicit and implicit implications.

Explicit Level of Thinking re assessment This outcome tells kids they will be assessed at the comprehension level of Bloom’s Taxonomy -- they will have to explain each in their own words and be able to generate examples of each type of motion

Implicit level at which the teacher will have to teach This outcome also informs teachers that they will most likely have to teach it at the analysis level of thinking re Bloom’s Taxonomy as the students will have to understand the similarities and differences between the four types of motion. SO…

What type of thinking does this outcome encourage? Inductive thinking -- the students will have to classify the different types of motion -- so, give them some pictures, say 4 or 5 of each, put the pictures in an envelop, have the students work in pairs to classify them -- then do a Jigsaw on each of the four -- then do a Venn Diagram or Fish Bone or Mind Map on the 4 types of motion

What instructional methods do you have that push analysis? Venn Diagrams Fish Bone Diagrams Mind Maps (chapter 10) Concept Maps (chapter 10) Concept Attainment (chapter 8) Concept Formation (chapter 9)
