Reflection on EDN 205 (Teaching Strategy) Day5

On the fifth day of our class we discussed about the procedural or the steps of Inductive Teaching strategy in the group and displayed our work in the chart. In the discussion our group mentioned the steps such as:
1. Open- ended Phase

• Show the student an example / non example of a concept or generalization 
• .where student observe and describe the examples.
• Give another example or non example.
• student will again observe and describe.
• after that student will compare the example and non examples, and let them find the similarities and differences.

2. The Convergent Phase.

• Prompt students to identify patterns in the examples.

3. Closure

• Arrive at definition by explicitly stating the pattern in the example.

4. The Application

• Application of definition with additional example.

After that we pasted our work on the wall and went around to see others work, where I got many new idea and different steps in Inductive teaching discussed by other groups. 

Inductive Teaching Strategy (day 4)
