1. Discovery method Tayyaba Ehsan BEDF19M012

2. Discovery method Discovery Learning is a technique of inquiry-based learning and is considered a constructivist-based approach to education. It was introduced by burner. This popular theory encourages learners to build on past experiences, and knowledge and their intuition imagination and creativity and search for new information to discover facts.

3. Bruner’s Beliefs Bruner believes that students must be active —they must identify key principles for themselves rather than simply accepting teachers’ explanations. This process has been called DISCOVERY LEARNING . Bruner believes that students learn by doing

4. Why use?

5. Main Attributes of Discovery Learning

6. Steps of Guided Discovery Learning Exploration: Teacher presents divergent questions and assess the students by providing them environment for discovery.

7. Steps of Guided Discovery Learning 2. Invention : In this stage, with the help of the teacher, the students find the meaning and structure of ideas.

8. Steps of Guided Discovery Learning 3. Discovery : The child applies what he learned in exploration and invention stages to new situations.

9. 5 principles of discovery Learning model Principle 1: problem solving Principle 2: learner management Principle 3: integrating and connecting Principle 4: information analysis and interpretation Principle 5: failure and feedback.

10. Three modes of representation Enactive: ( 0-1 year) a mode of representing past events through appropriate more motor responses. Iconic : ( 2-6 years plus) as symbol system which represents things by design feature that include remoteness and arbitrariness. Symbolic: (7 years) Summarize events by the selective organization all percepts and of images. Spiral and scaffolding These takes advantage of Bruner’s interpretation of scaffolding, where the teacher guides the student through the three modes.

11. Forms of discovery There are two forms of discovery free discovery guided discovery

12. Free discovery In pre discovery the child is given an opportunity to explore at will, pacing himself, and making his own decisions regarding what to do. In this form of discovery, the teacher becomes a resource person, to be used by the child as needed.

13. Independent discovery activities

14. Guided discovery In guided discovery the teacher is assumes a more controlling role by helping the child to make correct decisions and supplying pertinent in formation at appropriate moments. Guided discovery also known as inductive approach, is a technique where a teacher provides examples of a language item and helps the learners to find their rules themselves

15. Teacher guided discovery activities

16. Teachers and learner role Teacher presents some examples. Learners are invited for brainstorming. Teacher puts more examples Learners are invited to compare both sets of examples. Teacher presents some non-examples. Learners are encouraged to draw comparison and contrast. Learners classify the features and patterns and uncover some relationships Learners finally state the new concept they have discovered Problem solving questions are one way of testing

17. Some suggestions

18. Examples of Discovery Learning

19. How can we fix these problems (as teachers)? Individualized content based upon each student need and capabilities. Survey student work and achievements to make sure they effectively draw correct and accurate conclusions.
