Reading the article and viewing the graphic-organizer about the 4 models of teaching was important as it serves as a reminder of what we, as educators, need to be aware of in the classroom. At times, I find myself getting into a bit a of a rut in terms of what model of teaching I implement. It's easy to get into a routine but, as we all know, changing things up and using different models can make a world of difference. Like a puzzle, affective learning takes place when all of the pieces are put into place. It is important when planning a lesson to make sure you incorporate more than one of the following models; 1. Social Family (cooperative learning, peer tutoring, etc), 2. Information Processing Family (concept information, inquiry learning, etc.), 3. Personal Family (individualized instruction), and 4. Behavioral Systems Family (mastery learning, direct instruction).
