Models of Instruction

There are four models of instruction that go from the broadest to specific.
1: Behavioral approach-goal is to develop basic skills and knowledge in students.  This is shown by having a student write an essay or draw a graph. Lowest level of learning.
2: Information processing-Focus on how the student processes the information.  Goal is to give  the students information have them search, organize, find information and reflect on the information . This is meta cognition to see if the student was taught well.
3: Social interaction- Goal is to focus and improve social skill and interactive skills.
4: Personal- Goal self reflection, self esteem, develop students talents, and self identity.  All individual skills and abilities can be shown.

There are two  instructional strategies
1:  Direct- Teacher center of class teaching and explaining. Set of steps teacher follows to reach goals.
Behavior model is direct-deductive
2: Indirect- IPM,SIM,Personal 
Students create environment and interact with it.  They are given projects that shows their talents and skills.

Pedagogy is a method most systematic way of reaching a child.
