Essential Elements of Instruction

Highlights of EEIThe Science of Teaching

Question?

What qualities does a good teacher possess?

Art vs. Science of Teaching

• Total Teaching Act• Instructional Skills• Task Analysis• Teach to the Objective• Closure• The Art in Teaching will be your

own personality/style/demeanor.

Total Teaching Act (TTA)

• Human Relations Skills• Instructional Skills• Classroom Management Skills• Knowledge of Content• Use and Selection of Appropriate

Material• Planning Skills

From theTotal Teaching Act,which is the most important skill?

The most important skills are the Instructional

Skills!Other TTA skills are

important, and they are developmental.

Instructional Skills• SELECT an objective at the appropriate

level of difficulty.• TEACH to the objective.• MAINTAIN the focus of the learner on

the learning.• USE without abuse the Principles of

Learning.• MONITOR and adjust.

Select an objective at the appropriate level of difficulty?

• Task Analysis: A system of factoring the terminal (final) objective into it’s essential enroute learnings.

• Steps in Task Analysis:• Identify a terminal objective: State

Standards.• Brainstorm for possible enroute learning.• Weed Out nonessentials.• Sequence if necessary.• Form diagnostic questions.

Teach to the Objective T2O

• EXPLANATION

• QUESTIONING

• RESPONDING

• ACTIVITY

Teach to the Objective

• EXPLANATION:• Definitions• Process or steps• Examples• Models• Modeling• Content

Teach to the Objective• QUESTIONING:• Purpose• Strategy• Types:• Individual (Sampling)• Whole Groups• Open Ended, Affective, Opinion and

Thinking Questions. • In what ways (IWW) and How many

ways (HMW).

• RESPONDING:• Responding to the learner in terms

of the learning.• Purpose?• Frequency?

• ACTIVITY:• Purpose• Types:• Guided• Independent (unguided).

Maintain the Focus of the Learner on the

Learning• Those things the teacher does to

establish and keep the attention of the learner on learning.

• Components:• Anticipatory Set.• Closure.• Active Participation.

Maintain the focus of the learner on the

learning…• Anticipatory Set:• Purpose• Elements:• Statement of learning.• Involvement of the learner.• Relate learning to past, present, or future

learning.• (Wong, Jones, and Hunter) Concepts

align.

learning…

• Closure:• Purpose• Elements:• Summary of the learning.• Involve the learner.

learning…• Active Participation:• Purpose• Types:• Covert Behavior – Body language, facial

expressions, time on task, etc.• Overt Behavior – Observable learning,

responses, oral and written participation, etc.

Use Without Abuse the Principles of Learning

• Program for Effective Teaching:• Motivation• Retention• Reinforcement• Transfer• Principles may be used in any

order!

Use without abuse the principles of learning…

• MOTIVATION:• Interest – develop student interest.• Success – create successful activities. • Feeling tone – be positive in voice control. • Knowledge of results – student

achievement.• Tension – Be aware of students cognition.• Rewards – Success.

• RETENTION:• Meaning – Students understand concept.• Practice – Drill.• Degree of Original Learning – Maintain +.• Transfer – Integrated learning.• Feeling Tone – Positive.• Modeling – Student practice and activities.

• REINFORCEMENT:• Positive• Negative• Extinction – Teacher destroys

learning.• Schedule – regular or intermittent.

• TRANSFER:• Positive – Authentic integration with

other content areas. • Negative – No transfer of

knowledge.

• Four factors that help to generate positive or negative transfer:

• Similarity: Analogies - Comparisons.

• Association: Integrated concepts.• Degree of original learning:

depth-breadth.• Identification of critical

attributes: key elements.

Monitor and Adjust• Observe students overt and covert

behaviors. (Hunter)• Differentiate instruction as

necessary. (Fogarty)• Use classroom management skills.

(Wong)• Work the room. (Jones)

HOW DO WE USE THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS

MODEL TODAY?

Instructional Skills

• SELECT an objective at the appropriate level of difficulty.

• TEACH to the objective.• MAINTAIN the focus of the learner on
