Integrative Model

Integrative Model is a type of instructional strategy used to help students develop a deep understanding of organized bodies of knowledge. Teachers guide students efforts as they search for patterns and cause & effect relationships in the information being taught. This model helps students to construct their own personal understanding of the topic rather than being spoon-fed by the teacher.

Motivation

Identify Topics-Teachers should choose topic that involves on organized body of knowledge. Topics may come from standards, textbook, curriculum guides, the interest of students and teachers. Specify Learning goals- What do you want your students to understand about the topic? Plan for critical thinking by guiding the students to form patterns, explanation and develop hypothesis based on the evidence. Prepare Date- Prepare the information that students can analyze to meet your learning goal, which is usually in a matrix (Compare and contrast) Specify Questions- Teachers should plan those questions in advance because it allows the lesson to flow smoother than knowing the type of questions that will be asked of the students. Be sure to note the amount of time will be needed to cover the lesson.

Open-ended phase= Teacher get students familiar with analyzing information by asking them to describe, compare, and search for patterns in the data. Casual phase- students explain similarities and difference using data and chart to justify conclusion (hypotheses/usually being with why. Hypothetical phase- Students think more deeply about how to apply the new information to new situations usually begins with what we would expect to see or what would happen if. Closure and application- Students generalize to form broad relationships which summarizes the content the generalizations that students from here are known as the big idea that teachers hope they will carry away with them from the lesson it helps student s to apply their understanding to new situations. (Outcomes).

Teachers can assess the students by asking them to make and assess conclusions about information from matrices that theyve already studied. Teachers can also assess the students by distributing quizzes which instructs them to apply generalization to new information. Provide feedback

Students are motivated by student and group involvement, individual challenge, success, perceptions of increase competences. Teachers can modify the concept for younger kids by adding more visual information than verbal information when he/she discuss the matrices. When working with diverse students, the teacher can 1-gather most of the information that needs to be included in the matrix 2-Be more specific and structured during whole class discussion.

So what? What is important to understand about this?

Integrative Model helps students develop deep understanding of the topics they study while they develop their critical thinking abilities. It helps students comprehend organized bodies of knowledge by combining concepts, facts, generalizations, and the connections between all of them
