Motivation

-Identify Topic: This model is best for topics that are either concepts or generalizations that come from standards, textbooks, or other curriculum guides -Specify Learning Objectives: Set out a framework for the students to understand what the relationship is between the concept and the generalization and any important characteristics -Examples: Provide examples for the students of the correct material and present to them non-examples so they know the difference between the right and wrong material -Provide as many examples as it takes for the students to understand the material correctly. Use pictures, models, concrete materials, or other real life examples to show all forms. Technology is a good tool to use for simulations.

-Introduction: Hook the students into


the material you are teaching and begin the lesson -Open-Ended Phase: Start getting the students involved by examining examples, non-examples, or ask them to compare and contrast the examples to get them to understand the differences -Convergence Phase: Students start to grasp knowledge of the topic and start to identify characteristics, commonalities, differences, patterns, and other concepts about the topic. Students also give feedback to show they understand the material. -Closure and Application: Students show they understand the material by providing responses of characteristics and relationships they gathered when learning the specific topic -Teacher guidance is advised for additional help

-Ask the students questions such as How do you know? or Why was that your response? to see what their real understanding is and for them to provide support of their answer to enhance critical thinking -Have the students apply the material learned to other areas -Give tests or performance measures to see how much the student has learned -Informal assessment by asking questions to the students and having them explain certain examples and explain why or why not they are nonexamples -Tests and detailed feedback provide the student with the amount of knowledge they have learned and promotes students to enhance their critical thinking by explaining their reasoning in depth

-Involvement in class discussion increases the interest of students to learn the material -Students attempt to answer openended questions and find patterns. This is a good motivational tool because the students will be curious to what the correct answers are and there will be a challenge set among the class to see who can answer the questions correctly -Increased perceptions, positive feedback, and participation will motivate the students to learn. If they have positive feedback, they have an assurance of success. -The motivation of coming to a conclusion increases the knowledge and the ability to connect different observations together

So what? What is important to understand about this?

This model is used for students to get involved and have them gain a deep understanding of the topic. By observing examples and patterns, they are able to understand commonalities and differences among the concepts and generalizations.
