1. Why might having students perform a desired behavior immediately after modeling it be beneficial? (Understand/Apply)
2. How might you give guidance and feedback to your students after modeling a behavior/process? Give a specific example that would be useful in your content. (Apply/Create)
1. The students should probably perform the desired behavior immediately after seeing it modeled so that they can practice and commit it to memory before forgetting.
ReplyDelete2. One example that comes to mind in math instruction is modeling how to think through a factorization problem where discovering the factors is not straightforward. I always try to model my thought process on how I come up with the numbers.
1. The reason to have children preform a desired behavior after modeling it, would not only so that they remember it, but also for them to put the modeled behavior into perspective, so that realize why that is the desired behavior.
ReplyDelete2. After a modeling a behavior process the importance of feedback is to discuss the reason for that reaction to the behavior/process. Also giving them positive regards after modeling that desired behavior is always good, because the realize that it is the behavior you expected and that you realize they are trying to do better. Also, feel free to correct or make a comment if the child does not respond or do something correctly, so that it can be corrected if the problem/process were to occur again.
For example: I have a 2nd grader come up and tattle on one of their peers during recess, while I am talking to another teacher. At that time the other teacher and I do a small skit for the child to model the type of behavior that he could have responded with instead of tattling. I would then explain to the child why I responded the way I did, and the follow him over to the other child and have him try the type of behavior I modeled to the other teacher. After he modeled the correct behavior I would discuss with him how well he handled the problem through modeling what I had shown him, and then if any further discussion between him and the child was needed, then we would go from there.
Having the child model the behavior right after I did, will help him with his future responses to similar scenarios, and hopefully will result in less tattling.
Sarah both of these were great questions and really made me think deeply about modeling behavior and it's importance. Everyday we should be aware that others around us are watching, therefore we should always react in the way we want others to react. Your second question really had me thinking about the different ways in which I could model a specific behavior I wanted to see, that could also potentially help me in my future career as a teacher. According to Bloom's I feel like your categorization of both of your questions was correct. Your second question could also possibly fall under analyzing for teachers who are already teaching, because they can think back to a previous experience and analyze how they could have handled it better, and used that for their scenario.
