Learning is . more than knowing facts building new knowledge
and understanding on what students already know and believe

environment in which learners interact with others occurs best when
students take control of their own environment the ability to apply
and transfer knowledge to a variety of situations National Research

What is Guided Discovery (GD)? Developed by Dr. Charles E.
Wales at the Center for Guided Design, West Virginia University The
focus is on the learner and is both self-paced and paced by
instruction. Incorporated with Understanding by Design (UBD), GD
builds upon a learners innate curiosity and desire to discover to
lead the learner to the knowledge on their own terms When combined
with effective question generation (Question Formulation Technique
or some other effective means) GD becomes concise and exact
Slide 4
Advantages to implementing the Guided Discovery method of
teaching 1.Structured format 2.Easy to follow for both instructor
and student 3.Responsibility for learning shifts from teacher to
student 4.Cooperative learning is encouraged & enhanced (almost
mandated) 5.Self paced means the student builds upon their own
knowledge base as they discover new truths 6.Can be applied to any
age learning group (1987 Alabama research results)
Slide 5
Disadvantages to implementing the Guided Discovery method of
teaching Historical studies show minimally guided instruction is
less effective but disadvantages begin to minimize as learner prior
knowledge increases (Kirschner, 2006) Activities take time to plan
and implement Small group management Missing intrinsic motivation
slows progress
Slide 6
Successful Discovery Model 1.Select the content 2.Identify the
prerequisite knowledge 3.Write the lesson in manageable, scaffolded
steps 4.Prepare the students - outline the activity and
expectations 5.State the goal 6.Set up a graphic organizer 7.Have a
follow-up activity to check for accountability 8.Reflect and
revise
Slide 7
Ask Your Students 1. Could you solve the puzzle before
completing the activity? 2. What question(s) in the activity led
you to experience an "Aha!" moment? 3. Did you understand the
answers to the questions or puzzle after completing the activity?
