As teachers seek for better ways to implement
technology in their classrooms we will share with
them several models of teaching in this volume of
our newsletter.
Introduction
From the book, Models of Teaching, we
will take a look at Chapters 1 and 2.
Chapter 1 focuses on the creation of
learning communities and providing them
with a repertoire of learning models.
Chapter 2 stresses the “modern era”
models of learning, their origins, and their
classifications into four families.
Chapter 1- Beginning The
Inquiry: Creating Communities of
Expert Learners
In this Chapter the author describes four
individual scenarios in various classrooms
on the initial day of school. Each of these
scenarios gives an example of one model
of teaching. The first scenario provides a
mental image of the model called, “inquiry
training.” In the second scenario the
teacher exemplifies the model named,
“inductive thinking.” In the third scenario
teacher models the “jurisprudential model
of teaching.” In the final room the teacher
is introducing her students to the “group
investigation
model.” The chapter
explains the importance of each of these
models in creating children who see
themselves as capable learners. This
development is the role of the teacher.
Successful teachers must discover ways to
engage their students in meaningful and
productive ways. By reading about
various models of teaching, teachers can
learn how to make their lessons more
cognitive, more powerful, and more
effective for every student that they will
teach.
