EME 2040 Reflection 2

The behaviorist and Constructive Lesson plans are the same in their purpose. This is, to try and find a strategy to give a class and it be effective. Their purpose might be the same but their format is very different. The behaviorist lesson plan which was created by Madeline Hunter has eight steps. The first step is the purpose and objective it speaks about what the child will be learning and how would it be measure. The second step is the anticipatory set here you decide how you are going to get here attention. Third is the input here talks about what the child will be learning for example the vocabulary words, etc. Fourth, the modeling in others words the show here you show them visually what they are learning it could be a YouTube video for instance. Fifth is guided practice which is follow me which is the teacher. The teacher will guide the student step by step of what is needed the teacher is the source of the information. Sixth is CFU which stands for checking for understanding. The teacher asks the student several questions to find out if the student understands the lesson plan if not backs up to help. Second to last is independent practice here the student gets to experiment by themselves to see if they fully understand the lesson plan. And lastly is closure, here the teacher may ask questions for the student to him or her what they have learned that way the teacher could close the lesson with a secure mind that every child understood the lesson. Another type of lesson plan is the Constructivist lesson plan which has six steps to it. To begin within this lesson plan the students are more involved in when it comes to like group work. Here they learn from each other rather than in the behaviorist plan which the teacher was the fountain of information. The first step is situation, the teacher give them a problem and the students have to figure it out and show what they know about the situation. The next is grouping; here the teacher explains how they will go into their groups and what materials are needed to complete the assignment. Third is, bridge here each student will share what they know that way they learn from each other. The fourth step is questions, here you ask question to get them talking and see if they are stuck and you get them to ask or answer questions about the situation or problem. Fifth is the exhibit which is for the student to show or tell the classroom what they have learned. For instance you can get one group to come up and do a skit about they have learned about their situation. And the last step is, reflections the student would talk about what they learned and what has stuck and interacted in their minds. Both have the same purpose but just different ways of getting there.
