Reflection on Model of Instruction

In this session we have learnt a lot about the type of teacher’s instruction. They are Guided Discovery, Group Interaction, Direct Instruction, and Lecture Discussion. Actually, I have already known about the main principal of those instructions. Maybe, the name of instructions is something new for me.

I do understand about the Group Interaction as well as Lecture Discussion. Both of them are usually used in my learning in class so that I am familiar with it. The principal of Group Interaction is in the social interaction among the group. There are students’ interaction, sharing, and completing each other in learning. This model is good for enhancing the competence of interpersonal. While Lecture Discussion is something I got for years in my elementary, junior, and even senior high school. Teacher monologue is the main power of this model. Sometimes, it seems boring but for me this model is effective in internalizing the full body of knowledge.

The part that I rather don’t understand is the implementation of those instructions. Should we separate the four instructions in one teaching or we can collaborate all in one time? Maybe I should ask this to my lecturer or friends so that I know the answer.

This material is really interesting for me. I can elaborate the knowledge of multiple intelligences, learning style, and learning strategy also. The whole construction of my knowledge in my brain about learning and teaching now is really complex. The one thing I need is to practice it in real life in class.

As an educator, we should know well the concept and theory of our teaching and students’ learning. It is as our foundation so that we can have our guidance and exact treatment for our students. My expectation in knowing the theory of teaching has already fulfilled. For the next session I hope there is a related material and it will complete my whole understanding about teaching and learning itself.
