Dedication


Preface


Foreword



Frame of Reference


We begin with the idea of giving students the tools that increase their capacity for learning


The primary role of education is to increase student capacity for personal growth, social growth, and academic learning


Models of Teaching is an avenue to liberate student learning capacity and, by doing so, to help teachers take charge of their lives as teachers



Beginning the Inquiry


Creating Communities of Expert Learners


On the whole, students are in schools and classes within those schools


Both need to be developed into learning communities and provided with the models of learning that enable them to become expert learners


We study how to build those learning communities



Where Models of Teaching Come From


Multiple Ways of Constructing Knowledge


The history of teacher researchers comes to us in the form of models of teaching that enable us to construct vital environments for our students


Models have come from the ages and from teacher-researchers who have invented new ways of teaching


Some of these are submitted to research and development and how teachers can learn to use them


Those are the models that are included in this book



Studying the Slowly-Growing Knowledge Base in Education


A Basic Guide Through the Rhetorical Thickets


We draw on descriptive studies, experimental studies, and experience to give us a fine beginning to what will eventually become a research-based profession


Here we examine what we have learned about how to design good instruction and effective curriculums


And, we learn how to avoid some destructive practices



Models of Teaching and Teaching Styles


Three Sides of TeachingStyles, Models, and Diversity


We are people and our personalities greatly affect the environments that our students experience


And, as we use various models of teaching our selves -- our natural styles -- color how those models work in the thousands of classrooms in our society


Moreover, those models and our styles affect the achievement of the diverse students in our classes and schools



The Information-Processing Family of Models


How can we and our students best acquire information, organize it, and explain it? for thousands of years philosophers, educators, psychologists, and artists have developed ways to gather and process information


Here are several live ones



Learning to Think Inductively


Forming Concepts by Collecting and Organizing Information


Human beings are born to build concepts


The vast intake of information is sifted and organized and the conceptual structures that guide our lives are developed


The inductive model builds on and enhances the inborn capacity of our students



Attaining Concepts


Sharpening Basic Thinking Skills


Students can develop concepts


They also can learn concepts developed by others


Concept attainment teaches students how to learn and use concepts and develop and test hypotheses



The Picture-Word Inductive Model


Developing Literacy across the Curriculum


Built on the language experience approach, the picture-word inductive model enables beginning readers to develop sight vocabularies, learn to inquire into the structure of words and sentences, write sentences and paragraphs, and, thus, to be powerful language learners


In Chapter 19 the outstanding results from primary curriculums and curriculums for older struggling readers are displayed



Scientific Inquiry and Inquiry Training


The Art of Making Inferences
