Models of Teaching |
1. Create a poster report that conveys the meaning of any one of the models of teaching presented in this chapter. Assume that you will present the poster at a local science teacher conference whose theme is: "Effective Models and Strategies of Science Teaching for the Nineties."
2. Design a graphic representation of your model of teaching. Don't be afraid to be inventive, and realize that creative thinking involves combining elements of other ideas. Present your model in class.
3. Which of the following models of teaching do you prefer.
• Direct/Interactive teaching• Direct inquiry
• Cooperative learning
• Integrative learning
• Person-centered learning
Prepare a brief speech (three to five minutes) in which you identify the characteristics of the model and why you prefer it over other models. (And of course you can use visual aids if you are called on to give the speech!)
