Covering the rationale and research on the major models of teaching, this work illustrates K-12 classroom use through scenarios and examples of instructional materials. New chapters to this edition include "Concepts, Cognitions, and Constructivism" which connects the book to recent research on student construction of knowledge and metacognition; and "Social Inquiry Models of Teaching", which features an approach to global literacy that has been tested in a number of school systems.
First published in 1972, Models of Teaching is widely considered to be the classic models text in the field. Thoroughly updated for currency and accuracy, the seventh edition covers the rationale and research on the major models of teaching and applies the models by using scenarios and examples of instructional materials. These models have shown to accelerate student learning and act as lifelong learning tools.
