3. unit 3 understanding level morrison model

The document discusses H.C. Morrison's model of teaching at the understanding level. Morrison believed students learned best by responding to situations. His five-step instructional pattern includes exploration, presentation, assimilation, organization, and recitation. Teachers present content in small units, test understanding, and repeat as needed. Students then work independently to thoroughly learn the content before writing and presenting what they learned. The teacher guides students and evaluates their mastery through various tests. The goal is for students to develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and independent learning.

• Professor H. C. Morrison (1871- 1945), (the University of Chicago) • He formulated the "Morrison plan", which reorganized the style of teaching. • He believed that the student learned best by adapting or responding to a situation. • He also identified a five-step instructional pattern: pretest, teaching, testing the results of instruction, changing the instruction procedure, and teaching and testing again until the unit is mastered by the student. • Morrison retired from the University of Chicago in 1937 and later died of a heart attack in 1945.

Morrison Model – Syntax FIVE STEPS
EXPLORATION PRESENTATION ASSIMILATION ORGANISATION RECITATION
EXPLORATION
EXPLORATION • Test the previous knowledge by questioning. • Analyse the contents, and the elements are arranged in a logical sequence. • Involves testing, questioning to explore initial learning of the students. • Decide how the unit to be presented
PRESENTATION
PRESENTATION • It involves 3 activities: 1. The teacher presents new content into small units and attends to maintain continuous rapport with the students in the class. 2. The teacher tests the students to diagnose how many students have grasped the presented content. 3. If necessary the presentation is repeated, the teacher should not proceed towards the new unit until most of the students fully understand. Thus , this stage, the teacher is more active
ASSIMILATION
ASSIMILATION • The purpose of this steps is to attain thorough knowledge of the subject matter. • Both the teacher and students are active. But • The students are more active than the teacher. • Opportunities are provided in order to stress upon the depth of the content. • The students do lot of work in library, field work, assignments and etc.
ASSIMILATION • In this stage, Students works more individualised. • The teacher guide them according to the need during supervision. • During this period, the teacher tests whether the pupils have achieved mastery over the content or not.
ORGANISATION
ORGANISATION • When the students have passed mastery test, then they move towards the organisation step. • All the students write contents in their own language.
ORGANISATION • Following observations are included in this step: The student determines what content to be written. Morrison states that, “ the student receives mastery when he is able to write down the presented content and the assimilated data clearly”. The teacher comes to the conclusion whether the pupils can write the contents without anybody’s help or not.
RECITATION
RECITATION • Each students presents the content orally before the teacher. • Morrison plans daily recitation for this step. • Recitation may take in the form of written.
Morrison Model – Social System Teacher
Morrison Model – Social System • The teacher should be more active. • The Teacher controls the behaviour of the students by providing motivation. • Teacher imparts instruction to the pupils they work themselves with full involvement. • The teacher behaviour should be flexible , dynamic and full of human touch.
Morrison Model – Social System • Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation is used. • The teachers’ main act is to create need and interest among students to acquire understanding of new concepts.
Morrison Model – Support System • The teaching aids should be used • AV aids can be used for effective presentation • Self learning / individualised learning may be motivated • Opportunity to give practice on the learnt material according to their own effort
Morrison Model Evaluation System • The essay and objectives type tests are used • Multiple choice and analogy type item are the best for evaluating the students’ achievements.
Morrison level - Conclusion • Teacher should provide psychological motivation to the students and raise their level of aspiration. • Teacher should identify the problem, then analyse and provide solutions to the problems
