Overview

Models of teaching are structured approaches that combine a theory of learning with a sequence of teaching steps; Joyce and Weil grouped them into families.

Key points

Joyce and Weil grouped models into information-processing, social, personal and behavioural families.
Concept attainment model is based on Bruner’s work.
Advance organiser model is based on Ausubel.
Inquiry training model was developed by Richard Suchman.
Jurisprudential inquiry (Oliver and Shaver) is a social model.
Non-directive teaching (Carl Rogers) is a personal model.

Explanation

Each model has syntax (phases), social system, principles of reaction and support system.
Models should be matched to objectives.
Combining models adds variety.
Practice is needed to use models well.
Assessment should match the model’s goals.

Step by step

Identify the concept, method or policy asked.
Recall the definition, thinker, year or rule.
Apply it to the situation and eliminate extreme options.

Examples

Students sort examples and non-examples to find the concept "mammal" → concept attainment.
A teacher begins with an overview chart linking new and old ideas → advance organiser.
Students ask yes/no questions to explain a puzzling event → inquiry training (Suchman).

Traps and advanced points

Trap: Wrong originators.
Trap: Wrong family classification.
Trap: Using a model unrelated to objectives.
