EduClassics.com describes behavior patterns people use to learn and uses of these descriptions to increase contributions of Classic Education in the 21st Century. This page describes a use of those patterns in lessons and instruction. |
The Instruction Cube (TIC) represents a learners’ view of instruction as described by behavioral scientists. TIC has three dimensions. Each dimension has two options for instruction. Each option gives priority to instructing according to behavioral descriptions of how people learn during lesson planning and instruction, or it does not.
These three sets of options offer eight choices for instruction. Descriptors in parenthese () indicate the priority chosen for that lesson plan and instruction.
Instruction Choice 1 – Confirmed, Most Efficient: Dimension 1a (answer learners’ question: tell learner what to do first, etc.) + Dimension 2a (describe content) + Dimension 3a (measure results of lesson).
Instruction Choice 2 – (Confirmed, Unnamed): Dimension 1a (answer learners’ question: tell learner what to do first, etc.) + Dimension 2b (discussions about lesson) + Dimension 3a (measure results of lesson).
Instruction Choice 3 – (Unconfirmed, Unnamed): Dimension 1a (answer learners’ question: tell learner what to do first, etc.) + Dimension 2a (describe content) + Dimension 3b (teacher judgment).
Instruction Choice 4 – (Unconfirmed, Unnamed): Dimension 1a (answer learners’ question: tell learner what to do first, etc.) + Dimension 2b (discussions about lesson) + Dimension 3b (teacher judgment).
Instruction Choice 5 – (Confirmed, Unnamed): Dimension 1b (vocabulary and logic) + Dimension 2a (describe content) + Dimension 3a (measure results of lesson).
Instruction Choice 6 – (Confirmed, Unnamed): Dimension 1b (vocabulary and logic) + Dimension 2b (discussions about lesson) + Dimension 3a (measure results of lesson).
Instruction Choice 7 – (Unconfirmed, Unnamed): Dimension 1b (vocabulary and logic) + Dimension 2a (describe content) + Dimension 3b (teacher judgment).
Instruction Choice 8 – Unconfirmed, Least Efficient: Dimension 1b (vocabulary and logic) + Dimension 2b (discussions about lesson) + Dimension 3b (teacher judgment).
