1. Cooperative learning involves students working together in small groups to
achieve a common goal. It promotes teamwork, communication, and social
skills.
Example: In a science class, students can collaborate in groups to design and
construct a model of the solar system. Each group member can be assigned a
specific planet to research and create, then they can combine their findings
to build a collaborative model. Through this activity, students learn to work
together, share responsibilities, and communicate effectively with their
peers.
2. Scaffolding is a teaching strategy that involves providing temporary support
to students as they learn new skills or concepts. The support is gradually
reduced as the student becomes more proficient, allowing them to eventually
work independently.
Example: When teaching a student how to write a persuasive essay, the
teacher can start by providing an outline and sentence starters. As the student
progresses, the teacher gradually reduces the support until the student can
write an essay independently. This gradual release of responsibility helps the
student develop confidence and autonomy in their learning process.
3. Direct instruction is a teaching strategy where the teacher explicitly explains
and models a new skill or concept. It is often used for introducing new
information or procedures to students.
Example: In a math class, a teacher might use direct instruction to teach
students how to solve a particular type of problem. The teacher first explains
the steps involved, then demonstrates how to solve a sample problem, and
finally guides the students through practicing similar problems. This
structured approach helps students understand the concept and develop
problem-solving skills.
4. PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) is an augmentative and
alternative communication (AAC) system that helps individuals with limited
verbal skills communicate their needs and wants using pictures.
Example: A child with autism who has difficulty speaking can use a PECS
board with pictures of desired objects, actions, and emotions to
communicate with their caregiver. For instance, the child can point to a
picture of food to indicate hunger or a picture of a toy to express a desire to
play. This visual support enhances the child's communication skills and
promotes independence.
5. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a scientific approach to learning that
focuses on observing and modifying behavior. It utilizes positive
reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and extinction or redirection
to decrease unwanted behaviors.
Example: A teacher applies ABA principles to help a student who exhibits
disruptive behavior in class. The teacher might provide verbal praise or
rewards, such as stickers, for staying seated and participating attentively. By
reinforcing positive behaviors, the teacher encourages the student to repeat
them, leading to improved classroom behavior and academic engagement.
6. Mnemonic strategies use memory aids like acronyms, rhymes, or songs to
aid information retention.
Example: For instance, the mnemonic "ROY G. BIV" assists in recalling the
order of colors in the visible light spectrum: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,
Blue, Indigo, Violet.
7. Task analysis dissects complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps to aid
understanding and completion.
Example: A teacher can simplify writing a book report by dividing it into
steps: selecting a book, summarizing the plot, identifying main characters,
and expressing personal opinions. This structured approach facilitates
comprehension and task completion.
