This page describes a use of those patterns in lessons and instruction.
THE INSTRUCTION CUBE (TIC) represents a learners’ view (ALV) of instruction as described by experimental scientists. TIC has three dimensions. Each dimension has two options for instruction. Each option gives priority to an aspect of instructing according to descriptions of choices people make while learning.
These three sets of options offer nine 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).
Instruction Choice 9 – (Unconfirmed, Most Prevalent in Classrooms): Indeterminate mixture of process, content, descriptions, discussions, with a wish list of outcomes.
