A powerpoint about the drill and practice learning style

1. Drill and Practice

2. It’s a style used in all types of learning.
From athletics to academics!

3. How can we implement this?
Implementing drill and practice is similar to a question and answer scenario where
the individual is asked multiple questions pertaining to a particular skill and the
individual responds as best as they can.

4. Used best with aesthetic learners
In many professions, employees learn by doing rather than watching.
The old saying “practice makes perfect” applies to this style of teaching.
For example let’s take a look at a lesson for practicing times tables.

5. Begin by having a worksheet focusing on only one multiplication factor. In this
case 10.
By the repetition of using
10 in each equation the
student will begin to see
a pattern for the number
10 as a multiplication
factor.

6. Repetition repetition repetition.
By repeating the same set of skills students will pick up on the special abilities in
each problem.
Students will begin to recognize equations and answers without having to work
them out. It will become second nature to them.

7. Take it from Bruce Lee practice make perfect!

8. Pros
Individuals work at their own pace.
Special skills become second nature
Students will have ample experience with a problem.
There is no pressure from peers.

9. Cons
Can be too focused on one area.
Students who are slower to pick up on skills will fall behind.
Not for abstract concepts, or thinking outside the box.
