Chapter 10: Approaches to Instruction
- As a teacher, am I using instructional objectives to help guide my teaching? If not, why not? What is the most difficult aspect of writing objectives for me? What can I do to make this an easier process? Are the objectives I am writing well written and do they meet the developmental level(s) of my students?
- When do I use behavioral approaches to teaching in my classroom? How effective am I when I use behavioral approaches to teaching? How could I be more effective? How do my students react to this approach to instruction? How well do my beliefs about instruction align with cognitive approaches to teaching? What am I doing to help my students process the information they are encountering to make it more meaningful? How effective are my attempts? What can I do to be more effective at helping my students make meaning out of their worlds?
- As a teacher, am I taking into account the social and emotional needs of my students? How do the social and emotional needs of my students affect their ability to learn? What can I do in my classroom to address the social and emotional needs of my students and help them to reach their fullest potential?
- Cooperative learning is one example of the social approach to teaching. How can I use cooperative learning in my classroom? What can I do to ensure that my use of cooperative learning is effective? What guidelines should I give my students to ensure learning is occurring and that they are staying on task? When is a cooperative learning approach not appropriate?
- Many approaches to teaching can be useful to me as a teacher. How can I use technology to further support my instructional approaches? How can I incorporate technology into the classroom in ways other than as a reward or a word processing mechanism?
