Stages of Acquisition

1 – Pretest and make commitments

2 – Describe the strategy

3 – Model

4 – Verbal Rehearsal

5 – Controlled Practice and Feedback

6 – Advanced Practice and Feedback

7 – Post-test and make commitments

8 – Generalization

Page 22: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 1 – Pretest and Make Commitments

•Determines which students need

strategy

• Teacher and students commit

themselves to working hard to

learn the strategy

Page 23: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 2 - Describe•Teacher explains how the strategy will help students.

•Group discusses situations in which the strategy will be used.

•Group discusses results they can expect.

•Teacher explains the steps of the strategy.

Page 24: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 3 - Model

• Teacher demonstrates the strategy while “thinking out loud”.

• Teacher involves students in the demonstration.

Page 25: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 4 – Verbal Rehearsal

• Ensure that students can name steps of the strategy.

• Ensure that students understand where, when, and why to use the strategy.

Page 26: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 5 – Controlled Practice and Feedback

• Students practice strategy at an easy level.

• Teacher monitors and provides quality feedback.

• Re-instruct if necessary.

• Mastery is expected.

Types of practice include…

Guided practiceGroup practicePaired practice

Individual practice

… but only Individual Practice ensuresmastery for every student

Page 29: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Quality Feedback is … Positive

Corrective

Individual

Timely

Page 30: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Sequence for Correction

1. Specify a category of errors. 2. Specify what the student should do. 3. Provide a model.

4. Have student practice. 5. Have the student paraphrase back. 6. Have the student write a goal. 7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each category of errors made. 8. Communicate your positive expectations to the student.

Page 31: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 6 – Advanced Practice and Feedback

• Students practice at grade level

• Teacher monitors and provides quality feedback

• Independence is emphasized

Page 32: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 7 – Posttest and Make Commitments

• Test for mastery

• Celebrate

• Make commitments for generalization

Page 33: Learning Strategies The University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning.

Stage 8 - Generalization

• Orientation – Discussion of when and where strategy is going to be used

• Activation – Plans for using the strategy independently and reporting back on its use.

• Adaptation – How this strategy could be adapted for use in other areas

• Maintenance – Periodic checks to see that students are still using the strategy successfully

General Education Option• I Do ( I describe the strategy and model it for the

class.)

• We Do (We, as a class do verbal practice, maybe a controlled practice or two, and then go to practicing together on our grade level material.)

• You Do (You, the class, use the strategy in regular classwork and homework while I, the teacher, monitor how you are doing.)
