Site Observations
Chapter 11: Approaches To Instruction
- During your observation, record instances of behavioral and cognitive approaches to teaching. How often is each approach used? With what types of lessons are the two approaches used? How receptive were the students to each approach? Provide examples. In your opinion, which approach (behavioral or cognitive) was the most effective? Why? Talk to the teacher about how he/she decides which approach to use.
- During your observation note instances of cooperative learning. Describe in detail the context surrounding the cooperative learning - the number and size of the groups, the group member roles, the topic of the lesson, what occurred prior to and immediately following the lesson, and the teacher's role. How well did the students interact with one another? Were there some students who were overly talkative and others who were extremely quiet? How successful were the different groups at completing the task at hand? In general, how often were the students off-task? Do you think the cooperative learning was successful? Why or why not? Do you think this was the most effective approach to the lesson? Describe an alternative approach and its potential effectiveness.
