PowerPoint presentation for NYCDOE faculty workshop on cognitive apprentice theory of coaching

1. Cognitive Apprenticeship and Instructional Technology By S. Khan, R. Martin, and M. Morgenstern

2. cognitive apprenticeship : resource- intensive model of instruction that employs the modeling, coaching, and fading paradigm of traditional apprenticeship, but with an emphasis on cognitive, rather than physical skills.

3. While classical Greek architecture employed only three styles of pillar…

4. Doric

5. Ionic

6. Corinthian

7. cognitive apprenticeship theory is based on a 6 pillar model !!!!!!!! M O D E L I N G C O A C H I N G S C A F F O L D I N G A R T I C U L A T I O N R E F L E C T I O N E X P L O R A T I O N

9. modeling involves an expert’s performing a task so that students can observe and build a conceptual model of the processes that are required to accomplish it.

10. coaching consists of observing students while they carry out a task and offering hints, scaffolding, feedback, modeling, reminders, and new tasks aimed at bringing their performance closer to expert performance.

12. articulation involves any method of getting students to articulate their knowledge, reasoning, or problem-solving processes.

13. reflection involves enabling students to compare their own problem-solving processes with those of an expert, another student, and ultimately, an internal cognitive model of expertise.

14. exploration involves pushing students into a mode of problem-solving on their own.

15. an important concept in the cognitive apprenticeship model is situated learning : learning knowledge and skills in contexts that reflect the way the knowledge will be used in real life.

16. the computer allows us to create environments that mimic situations in the real world that we cannot otherwise realize in a classroom (or home).

18. another important idea in cognitive apprenticeship is sequencing : the ordering of skill-based knowledge in a program of education.

19. global before local skills… teach the more general, holistic skills first before going into details and specifics.

20. increasing complexity… the construction of a sequence of tasks such that more and more of the skills and concepts necessary for expert performance are required.

21. increasing diversity the construction of a sequence of tasks in which a wider variety of strategies or skills are required.

23. teaching writing through contrasting models of novice and expert writing strategies: Scardamalia and Bereiter (1984)

24. teaching mathematical problem solving based on a model of expertise, where expertise is understood as the ability to carry out complex problem-solving tasks: Schoenfeld (1983,1985)
