situations.
A learning method that can allow children to use their

sight, sound, smell and touch.
Created by Paulo Friere, refers to a method of
education that emphasizes critical thinking for the
purpose of liberation. This method of education
solves the student-teacher contradiction by
problem posing education recognizing that knowledge is not deposited from
one (the teacher) to another (the student) but is
instead formulated through dialogue between the
two. Montessori method is an example of this type of
education.
, is a form of active learning that starts by posing
questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply
presenting established facts or portraying a smooth
path to knowledge. The process is often assisted by a
facilitator. Inquirers will identify and research issues
and questions to develop their knowledge or
solutions. This type of learning includes problem-
based learning, and is generally used in small scale
investigations and projects, as well as research. This
type of instruction is principally very closely related
to the development and practice of thinking skills.
Specific learning processes that people engage in
during this type of learning include:
Creating questions of their own
Inquiry based learning
Obtaining supporting evidence to answer the
question(s)
Explaining the evidence collected
Connecting the explanation to the knowledge
obtained from the investigative process
Creating an argument and justification for the
explanation
This type of learning involves developing questions,
making observations, doing research to find out what
information is already recorded, developing methods
for experiments, developing instruments for data
collection, collecting, analyzing, and interpreting
data, outlining possible explanations and creating
predictions for future study.
Inquiry-guided learning (IGL) refers to an array of
classroom practices that promotes student learning
Guided discovery through guided and, increasingly, independent
investigation of questions and problems for which
there are no single answer.
, This type of instruction is the use of straightforward,
explicit teaching techniques, usually to teach a
Direct instruction specific skill. It is a teacher-directed method, meaning
that the teacher stands in front of a classroom and
presents the information.
The teacher plans and organizes the learning
environment and provides experiences to facilitate
and guide children's learning. Example: A teacher
helps kindergarten students check the temperature,
wind, and rainfall data collected by the school's
Guided discovery outdoor weather station each day. The teacher then
helps them compare the weather forecast in the
newspaper with the information from the weather
station. The experience allows children to draw
conclusions about the accuracy of the weather
forecasts.
A cooperative learning strategy that helps students
create their own learning. Teachers arrange students
in groups. Each group member is assigned a different
piece of information. Group members then join with
Jigsaw instruction members of other groups assigned the same piece of
information, and research and/or share ideas about
the information. Eventually, students return to their
original groups to try to "piece together" a clear
picture of the topic at hand.
A kindergarten teacher identifies the letter sounds

affected by each. This is the best intervention for the
teacher to use to continue developing the children's
early literacy skills.
