DISCUSSANT: Estiller, Jackielyn A.

COURSE, YEAR AND SECTION: BSE-T.L.E, III-A

DATE: December 16, 2011

• OBJECTIVES:

v  To discuss the different conceptual models of learning.

v  To appreciate the importance of a new learning environment by the use of conceptual models.

v  To classify the differences between the conceptual models

• INTRODUCTION:

Education now a days is changing from the traditional to the use of technology as a medium o9f instruction and as a teacher we need to have different strategies that can help the students to learn and enjoy the learning process. These  models of meaningful learning, discovery learning, generative learning and constructivism are the one that can help us to have effective interaction with the students.

• LEARNING CONTENT:

IT ENTERS A NEW LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

            CONTENT: Conceptual models

            SUB TOPIC: Meaningful learning, Discovery learning, Generative learning, and Constructivism.

            IMAGES:

CONTENT:

            MEANINGFUL LEARNING

It focuses to new experiences that are related to what the learner already knows. it assumes that:

v  Students already have some knowledge that is relevant to new learning

v  Students are willing to perform class work to find connections between what they already know and what they can learn

DISCOVERY LEARNING

The students perform task to uncover what is to be learned.

            GENERATIVE LEARNING

It viewed students as active learner who can attend to learning events, it is different from the simple process of storing information.

            CONSTRUCTIVISM

In constructivism, the learner builds a personal understanding through appropriate learning activities and good learning environment. The most accepted principles are:

v  Learning consists in what person can actively assemble for himself and not what he can receive passively.

v  T he role of learning is to help the individual live/adapt to his personal world.

Three practical implications:

v  The learner is directly responsible for learning.

v  The context of meaningful learning consists in the learner “connecting” his school activity with real life.

v  The purpose of education is the acquisition of practical and personal knowledge, not abstract or universal truths.

The common themes for the four learning domains:

            LEARNERS

v  Are active, purposeful learners

v  Set personal goals and strategies to achieve these goals

v  Make their learning experiences meaningful and relevant to their lives.

v  Seek to build an understanding of their personal worlds so they can work/live productively.

v  Build on what they already know in order to interpret and respond to new experiences

• VOCABULARY WORDS:

Rote learning - a mechanical repetition like memorization

Reception learning- an act of receiving the information or ideas

Integration- to bring together the parts or information

Model- a pattern of something to be made

Innovative- to make alteration or changes in something already established

• SUMMARY:

Conceptual models is use to see how effective teachers best interact with students in innovative learning activities while integrating technology. These models are the Meaningful learning that focuses on the new experiences that is related to what learner already knows, Discovery learning that is different from reception because it is about the performance or  tasks that can help the students to unlocked or uncover  what is to be learned, Generative learning that viewed the students as active learners who can attend to learning events and generate meanings from the experience and lastly the constructivism, Constructivism makes the learner build their personal understanding through appropriate learning activities.

• CONCLUSION AND RECOMENDATION:

I.T Enters a new learning environment, different models and strategies is very important in every teacher especially now that we are in a computer age that can help the students to learn more, I think by the use of these models we can improve the learning process of the students especially if we know how to use and implement the proper way to capitalize the learning style of the students. Conceptual models can help us to be an effective teacher but we also need to remember that we have different kinds of students that have different kinds of learning style.

• POST TEST:

1. What is the domain that focuses on the experiences of the students?
2.  The domain that helps the student to uncover what is to be learned is_________?
3. The domain that viewed the students as active learner that can attend learning events is the__________.
4. The domain that helps the learner to build their own understanding through appropriate activities is the_______?
5. The model that helps us to see the effectiveness of teacher in the interaction to the students is the_______?

KEY TO CORRECTION:

1. Meaningful learning
2. Discovery learning
3. Generative learning
4. Constructivism
5. Conceptual models
