Inquiry-Based Learning Method

Inquiry Learning:

This model is used to teach a specific concept and leads the way to open inquiry where the students formulates his own problem to investigate.
Implementing Inquiry Lesson :
Implementing inquiry lessons occur in five phases:

Identify Problem
Generate Hypothesis
Gather Data
Assess Hypothesis
Generalize

Example:

Teacher in Grade six discusses baking procedure for the students at the beginning of the lesson, she provide the students with information about bread-making process. Part of her explanation a student raises his-her hand and asks " why do you have to knead so long?
part of lesson , the students start gathering information , assess their hypothesis and finally Generalizing it. Where the student in grade six suggest that through mixing affect the yeast , which affect how well the Bread will rise. They suggest to take a batch of dough and separate it into three parts and then knead them for Different amount of time. Finally, then discuss the results that relate them to hypothesis. and Generalize that Bread must be kneaded an adequate amount but kneading beyond that amount doesn't matter.

Jacob Kounin Theory

Jacob Kounin theory was that the teacher should have the ability to manage the students behavior through different strategies and techniques.

There are many ways to design an effective lesson where the teacher should be attentive and make sure that all the students are involved all the time in the lesson and the activities. The main key ideas in the Kounin Model are: 1. The ripple Effect 2. With-it-ness 3. Overlapping 4. Effective transitions 5. Group Focus 5. Satiation The most I like is the with-It-ness concept which is a term made by kounin to describe how the teacher is attentive. To him, the Teacher should be able to know what is going on in all areas of the classroom as if he/she is with all the students. Being that much attentive , as a teacher,and communicating that to the students throu

Boom's Taxonomy

The Best Education when the students are challenged. Blooms Taxonomy helps educators develop critical thinking and higher order cognitive abilities in students( Blooms 2008). In order to provide a framework of the objective, the teacher can build their lesson through blooms Taxonomy. And the most important point that we shed light on, is that the first levels of thinking must be mastered before the next one , from the simple one to the complex level to guide students to higher level of thinking. The Link Between the First two levels of thinking. The first the level of thinking that can be adopted by teachers in classroom is knowing(knowledge). This level of thinking activates students background in order to build on the previous ones , in other words, recall basic concepts related to the subject of interest. Age(2009) stated that you would need the prerequisites of knowledge how to walk before you would learn to run , which means learning information without the proper p
