The document discusses several teaching models:
1) The guided discovery model helps students feel connected while promoting critical thinking through teacher guidance and examples.
2) The concept attainment model reinforces concepts and critical thinking for all ages through whole or small group introduction and scientific method.
3) The integrative model helps students develop deep understanding and critical thinking skills through a collection of knowledge similar to guided discovery.
4) Problem-based learning is student-directed for deeper inquiry into topics presented and connecting concepts to real-world problems through developed critical thinking.

Teaching Models
Guided Discovery model: A presentation from the teacher with examples of
specific topics while guiding students to understand that topic. This model helps students feel welcome, connected to their teacher and peers, and competent which increases their motivation. This model will also keep students motivated and engaged as a whole class in small groups and or individually. This model also promoted critical thinking. Teachers can assess students’ understanding by having a whole class discussion.
Concept attainment model: This model is designed to elaborate and reinforce
students’ understanding of concepts and practice critical thinking. This model can be taught to all ages. This model can be introduced as a whole group or small group. This model works best with elementary students. This model introduces students to the scientific method as well as increases their motivation to learn science.
Integrative model: This model helps students develop a deep understanding of a
collection of knowledge while developing critical thinking skills. This model is closely related to the guided discovery model, which is designed to help students learn more in-depth.
Problem-based learning: A teaching tool that puts students in control of learning.
This model is student-directed instead teacher directed. This model allows students to explore and make deeper inquiries into topics that the teacher presents to them. This model also allows students to connect the real world to concepts of learning. Students will be able to use this developed critical thinking to help them solve real-life problems.
Direct Instruction model: This model is teacher-centered, students learn from
presentations or demonstrations from the teacher. This model approach may not always be the best way to promote critical thinking, but this model may improve basic skills, such as remembering content. With the continuous growth of this model, teachers can monitor their student’s progress toward learning goals. Lecture-discussion model: This model is a teacher-centered approach to students. This model also helps students understand a collection of knowledge while actively involving students using comprehension monitoring and questioning. This helps students understand concepts and how they are related.
Discussion Model
Discussion Model, two-way communication between teacher and students. Teachers
spend time listening while the students spend some time talking. Therefore, this model is a more active learning experience for students. The discussion model also promotes active participation. Whether through group discussions or the entire class, learners are capable of actively participating in a discussion. The use of discussions allows learners to explore a topic more deeply than simply reading about it or listening to a lecture about the topic. Through discussions, small aspects and details can be explored that might be ignored with other teaching methods. By driving deeper through their questions and comments, learners engage at a level that helps ensure they fully comprehend the topic under discussion. This method is an excellent strategy for enhancing learner motivation, fostering intellectual agility, and the ability to articulate and defend positions, consider different points of view, enlist, and evaluate evidence. When using this model there will be advantages, such as how to reconcile opposing arguments, how to think on one’s feet, and how to overcome the fear of sharing individual opinions by building relationships among classmates and sparking students’ interest and engagement in topics. Now, the disadvantage of teaching with a discussion model, students who are shy, intimidated, or scared of saying the wrong thing in front of groups will often sit in silence.
