Mastery Learning

Page 4: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

What is Mastery Learning?

Based on Benjamin Bloom’s Mastery of Learning, mastery learning is a teacher paced group instruction, one-to-one tutoring or self paced learning with programmed materials.

Mastery Learning is an instructional method that presumes all children can learn if they are provided with the appropriate learning conditions. Specifically, mastery learning is a method whereby students are not advanced to a subsequent learning objective until they demonstrate proficiency with the current one.

Role of the Teacher:

directs group-based instructional techniques.

Regularly correcting mistakes of students along learning paths.

Evaluates students using diagnostic or formative test.

Page 6: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Desired Outcome

Students must show evidence of understanding of material before moving to the next lesson

Evidence of high achievement

Integrated Method or Interdisciplinary Teaching

Page 8: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Interdisciplinary teaching is a method, or set of methods, used to teach a unit across different curricular disciplines.

The basic building block of interdisciplinary teaching is known as a theme, thematic unit, or unit.

Interdisciplinary teaching is all about simultaneous application of knowledge, ideas, and/or values of a domain in multiple academic domains.

Impart knowledge using integration of content and skills from several disciplines to teach one particular discipline.

Interdisciplinary methods work to create connections between traditionally discrete disciplines such as mathematics, the sciences, social studies or history, and English language arts.

Definition

Page 9: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

The seventh grade Language Arts, Science and Social Studies teachers might work together to form an interdisciplinary unit on rivers.

The local river system would be the unifying idea. The English teacher would link it to Language Arts by

studying river vocabulary and teaching students how to do a research report.

The science teacher might teach children about the life systems that exist in the river

The Social Studies teacher might help students research the local history and peoples who used the river for food and transport.

Example:

Page 10: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Answers educational problems like fragmentation and isolated skill instruction

Train students on thinking and reasoning

Help us handle knowledge transfer

Desired Outcome

Page 11: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Team Teaching

Page 12: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Team teaching involves a group of instructors working purposefully, regularly,

and cooperatively to help a group of students learn.

Page 13: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Different Formats of Team Teaching Teams comprise staff members who may

represent different areas of subject expertise but who share the same group of students and a common planning period to prepare for the teaching.

two or more teachers teach the same group at the same time

a team shares a common group of students, shares planning for instruction but team members teach different sub-groups within the whole group

planning is shared, but teachers each teach their own specialism or their own skills area to the whole group

Page 14: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Encourages innovations and experiments

Improved quality of teaching

Spread responsibilities, encourages creativity, deepens friendship, builds community among teachers.

Team teaching can lead to better student performance

Advantages

Page 15: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Some teachers are rigid personality types or may be wedded to a single method.

Some dislike the other teachers on the team.

Team teaching makes more demands on time and energy.

Disadvantages

Page 16: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Programmed Instruction

Page 17: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Programmed instruction, method of presenting new subject matter to students in a graded sequence of controlled steps. Students work through the programmed material by themselves at their own speed and after each step, test their comprehension by answering an examination question or filling in a diagram. They are then immediately shown the correct answer or given additional information.

Computers and other types of teaching machines are often used to present the material.

Page 18: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

The teaching machine is composed of mainly a program, which is a system of combined teaching and test items that carries the student gradually through the material to be learned. The "machine" is composed by a fill-in-the-blank method on either a workbook or in a computer. If the subject is correct, he/she gets reinforcement and moves on to the next question. If the answer is incorrect, the subject studies the correct answer to increase the chance of getting reinforced next time.

Teachers Role

Monitor student progress on programmed materials

Assess the effectiveness of all programs

Provide individualized tutoring

Motivate students to participate in programmed activities

Page 20: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Benefits

Immediate knowledge of results

Individualized learning

Expert instruction

Page 21: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Learner-Centered Constructivist

Approach

Page 22: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Constructivism is a theory of knowledge that argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas.

Constructivist teaching is based on the belief that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction rather than passively receiving information.

Page 23: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Learner always builds upon knowledge that a

student already knows. This prior knowledge is called schema

What is the emphasis of constructivist approach?

Page 24: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Teacher leads through questions and activities to discover.

Discuss, appreciate and verbalize the new knowledge.

Prompts and facilitate discussion

Role of the teacher

Page 25: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

According to Audrey Gray, the characteristics of a constructivist classroom are as follows:

the learners are actively involved the environment is democratic the activities are interactive and student-

centered the teacher facilitates a process of learning

in which students are encouraged to be responsible and autonomous

Page 26: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Examples of constructivist activities

Experimentation

Research projects

Field trips

Films

Class discussions

Page 27: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Students learn how to learn by giving them the initiative for their own learning experiences.

Desired outcome

Page 28: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Modular Approach

Page 29: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

What is a module?

Module is a unit of work in a course of instruction that is virtually self-containedand a method of teaching that is based on the building up skills and knowledgein discrete units.

Page 30: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

STRUCTURE OF MODULE : The titleThe Introduction.

The overview. The objectives

The instruction to the users.The pre-test evaluation and feedback.The learning activities.The formative test, evaluation and feedbackThe summative evaluation and feedback.

Page 31: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

ADVANTAGES

Learning became more effective. Users study the modules in their own working

environment. Users can study without disturbing the normal duties

and responsibilities Modules can be administered to single use, small group

or large group. Modules are flexible so that implementation can be

made by a variety of patterns. It is more appropriate to mature students It enables the learner to have a control over his

learning Accept greater responsibility for learning.

Online/Distance Education

Page 33: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Distance education or distance learning, is a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivering teaching, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as a classroom.

Page 34: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Technologies used in delivery

The types of available technologies used in distance education are divided into two groups:

Synchronous Asynchronous

Page 35: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

Synchronous technology is a mode of delivery where all participants are "present" at the same time. It resembles traditional classroom teaching methods despite the participants being located remotely. It requires a timetable to be organized.

Page 36: Contemporary teaching strategies powerpoint by lian

The asynchronous mode of delivery is where participants access course materials on their own schedule and so is more flexible. Students are not required to be together at the same time.
