Cues,+questions,+and+advance+organizers

Cues, Questions, and advance organizers The queues and questions are ways that a classroom teacher helps students use what they've already know about topic. 1. Cues and questions should focus on what is important as opposed to what is unusual. 2. Questions desired to help students obtain a deeper understanding of content will eventually increase their interest in the topic, not unusual questions. 3. Higher level questions produced deeper learning then lower level questions. 4. Waiting briefly before accepting responses from students has the effect of increasing the depth of students answers Questions are effective learning tools even when it asked before a learning experience Explicit cues-cues are straightforward way use of activating prior knowledge, provide students with a preview. Questions that elicit inferences-demand that students filled in a great deal of missing information Analytic questions-require students to analyze and even critique the information presented to them Advanced organizers-related to cues and questions 1. Advance organizers should focus on what is important as opposed to what is unusual. 2. Higher level advance organizers produced deeper learning then the lower level advance organizers. 3. Advance organizers are most useful with information that is not well organized. For example an advance organizer might work better as a preparation for a field trip than it would as a preparation for reading that chapter in a textbook that is well organized with clear headings and subheadings 4. Different types of advance organizers produce different results
 * 1) Analyzing errors: identifying and articulating errors in the logic of information
 * 2) Constructing support: constructing a system of support or proof for an assertion
 * 3) Analyzing perspectives: identifying and articulating personal perspectives about issues
