Section 1.1: Educational Models 2.1.2: Compare Educational Models and Explain How They Impact The Classroom

The document discusses four educational models - constructivism, behaviorism, social constructivism - and their impact on different classroom pedagogies. Student-led instruction allows for independent learning using hands-on activities. Teacher-led instruction is behaviorist in nature, with the teacher directly modeling and instructing students. Student-teacher collaborative instruction is social constructivist, engaging students and teachers together in experiments and group work. Response to intervention is constructivist and social constructivist, using assessment and activities to provide extra help to students. These pedagogies impact classrooms differently depending on the grade level and needs of the students.

2.1.2: Compare educational models and explain how they impact the
classroom.

There are a variety of ways for students to be taught the information in the required

curriculum. The impact of constructivism, behaviorism, and social constructivism can be seen in

the classroom through the use of different pedagogies such as student-led instruction, teacher-led

instruction, student and teacher-led collaborative instruction, and response to intervention.

There are different strategies that can be used in each of the different pedagogies. For

student-led instruction, students can do peer teaching, socratic seminars, learning centers,

reading passages with questions, and cooperative learning (1.1.1). This approach impacts the

classroom because it uses constructivism, meaning it gives students the opportunity to take

control of their learning and be more independent with the use of John Dewey’s hands-on

learning approach and Benjamin Bloom’s taxonomy. For teacher-led instruction, the teacher uses

behaviorism, and the teacher can do this through the use of modeling, demonstrations, lectures,

direct instruction, and scaffolding inspired by Jean Piaget and B.F. Skinner (1.1.2).

Student-teacher collaborative instruction is based on Lev Vygotsky and Benjamin Bloom’s

theories of education since it is a social-constructivism pedagogy. For this type of instruction to

be used in the classroom, teachers can do experiments with students, interactive games, and do

whiteboard instruction in groups in order for both groups to be involved in the learning and

teaching (1.1.3). Response to intervention is an example of constructivism and

social-constructivism, and it can be done in the classroom by doing concept mapping, rehearsal,

modeling, and assisted assessments using aspects of Benjamin Bloom’s taxonomy to measure

understanding (1.1.4).
These pedagogies impact the classroom in numerous ways. Student-led instruction helps

students establish a sense of independence and they are more interested in their learning when

they are in control of it, and this works best in late elementary school, middle school and high

school since the students are capable of being more independent with their learning. Teacher-led

instruction is beneficial because all the students are guaranteed to be getting the correct

information, and they are able to ask questions right away as well, and this does not work well in

elementary or preschool classrooms because younger students cannot sit still and listen to the

teacher instruct for long periods of time. Student-teacher collaborative instruction is a good way

to get everyone involved because it mixes both student-led and teacher-led instruction, making

class diverse in the type of instruction students are receiving, and this works for all grade levels

because it gives a combination of the independence from student-led instruction and the

guidance from teacher-led instruction, but they are both used in small incriminates. Lastly,

response to intervention is important because it gives extra help to those who need it and

provides extra instruction, helping all students be successful in the classroom, and this is crucial

for all grade levels because students of all ages need to receive the help they deserve.
