The Importance of Scientific Evolution USING COMPUTERS TO TEACHPresentation by:Dr. Iwasan Kejawa.Broward CollegeWHC Center

MAJOR TYPES OF COMPUTERS

Desktop Computer Laptop Computer Tablet or Notebook Smartphone

TEACHING METHODS

Instructor-centered Lecture, Questioning, Demonstration.

.

Lectureone instructor : audience

Advantages of Lecture:* efficient, especially for large groups. *effective for lower-level learning *students are passive. It may provide foundational information

 

Questioning (“Socratic” discovery method)

• Leads students to progress • Leads to correct answer .

* may be combined with lecture or other methods . Advantages: * monitors learning, * involves students, * useful as supplementary method, but rarely used as only method. Disadvantages: * can cause student anxiety. * can be time consuming.

 

Demonstration * Useful for psychomotor skills or processes. * Addresses higher-order cognitive skills. * Usually preceded by lecture and followed by practice. *Opaque projectors facilitate demo to large numbers.

Non-Instructor-Centered INTERACTIVE Discussion, Group work, Peer teaching Class discussion •whole group participates. •teacher leads, coaches. •effective for upper level cognitive domain. •class size must be small.•Can be time consuming.

Discussion groups used for larger groups. Advantages: reduces anxiety. useful for cognitive and affective.

domains. Instructor must circulate to keep groups on task and structure reporting to ensure effective use of time.  

Group projects teacher as consultant/manager of process.Advantages:

useful for higher levels of learning. encourages generic interpersonal,

negotiation, teamwork skills. evaluation can be difficult.

Peer teaching  Advantages:

Useful with great variance in levels of learning.

Those who have mastered skill coach others.

Must ensure peer teachers are teaching material accurately and are competent instructors.

Can be used to master components of a task.

Individualized Teaching/Learning

~ Programmed instruction, ~ modularized instruction, ~independent projects, ~computerized instruction

Programmed instruction small, sequential steps using structured

materials information—questions—feedback—further

information useful only for lower levels of knowledge very structured immediate feedback self-timed

Modularized instruction/independent study

independent use of resources (texts, audio-visual)

practice and feedback at end of each module allows for individual speeds of learning time-consuming to produce, but reduces

teacher time later requires students to be highly motivated and

able to work independently may be used at all cognitive and affective levels

Computerized instruction

ranges from automated programmed instruction to sophisticated simulations, games, interactive programs.

immediate feedback, infinite repetitions, allows independent work.

may cause anxiety in technophobes. expensive, time consuming to produce. may not be available to meet specific needs.
