Two Truths About Learning
![Page 3: 11 Principles of Effective Instruction and 2 misconceptions Colby Tofel-Grehl, USU Heavily modified by J. M. Cohoon 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ebe5503460f94bc7e48/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Truth 1. Learning Styles
Learning Styles DO NOT matter
No well-designed study has found any evidence supporting a relationship between “styles” and learning outcomes
(Duff & Duffy, 2002; Henson & Hwang, 2002; Kavale & Forness, 1987; Loo, 1997; Richardson, 2000; Stahl, 1999)

Truth 2. Discovery Learning
Having students “discover” solution DOES NOT enhance learning» Achievement is poor unless students get the information
necessary to guide informed problem-solving decisions» Students are likely to become overwhelmed, confused, and
lose motivation to pursue learning goals» Students who do succeed in discovery learning demonstrate
no advantage on later tasks compared to those who received explicit instruction (Klahr & Nigam, 2004)

Begin with review
Check homework
Correct errors
Practice for automaticity
Remind students of relevant background concepts
![Page 8: 11 Principles of Effective Instruction and 2 misconceptions Colby Tofel-Grehl, USU Heavily modified by J. M. Cohoon 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ebe5503460f94bc7e48/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Present in small steps, laced with student practiceToo much information swamps working memory
Demonstrate and work examples
Tell your neighbor what steps you use for teaching the concept of recursion
![Page 9: 11 Principles of Effective Instruction and 2 misconceptions Colby Tofel-Grehl, USU Heavily modified by J. M. Cohoon 2013.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081512/56649ebe5503460f94bc7e48/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ask lots of questions & discuss
Ask factual and process questions» Have students explain how they came to their answer
• How are ___ and ___ alike?• What are some ways to solve the problem of ____?• What do you not understand yet about ___?
Involve all students» Tell answer to neighbor» Write answer on card and hold up» Rate understanding by holding up fingers » Clickers

Scaffold difficult tasks
Gradually withdraw temporary supports as students get more competent
Possible scaffolds include » Checklists» Partially completed problems» Worked examples
Anticipate likely errors and warn students about them

Obtain a high success rate
Aim for 80% correct when students participate in guided practice» Students are challenged and they are learning
Be sure that students are not practicing errors

Encouragement, Not Sympathy
Do not say: “It’s OK. Not everyone can be good at computing.”
Praise process, not person
