A learning cycleis an inquiry based teaching
approach and a philosophy of education / model of
instruction that can promote critical thinking ,
active learning and meaningful learning.
(Marek et al . 2003,Sowell 1993)
Learning cycle:
1. Engage:
Access andbuilds connections with prior knowledge
and experiences, stimulates learner's interest,
provides motivation to learn
• Demonstration
• Reading
• Free Write
• Analyze a Graphic Organizer
• Brainstorming
7.
2. Explore:
1.Let themsee the big picture.
2. Encourage the formation of opinions.
3. Challenge them with real-world problems.
4.Provide opportunities to collect information
border see the big picture.
8.
3. Explain:
Toask them to analyze their explorations.
Formally explain new concepts and provide
definitions.
Student Analysis & Explanation Supporting
Ideas with Evidence Structured Questioning.
9.
4. Elaborate:
• Expand/Extend/Elaborate. They may
expand understanding of the concept to other
content areas. They test ideas more
thoroughly and explore additional
relationships. Providing closure to the lesson
and verifying student understanding is
critical at this point.
• Problem Solving
• Decision Making
10.
5. Evaluate:
• Provideopportunities for self-assessment
• Assess/and or evaluate student performance and/or understandings of
concepts, skills, processes, and applications
•1 Provide opportunities for self-
assessment
•2. Assess/and or evaluate student
performance and/or
3.understandings of concepts,
skills, processes, and applications
11.
Knowledge acquisition
Understanding concepts and idea
Developing critical thinking and problem solving
skills
Become more skilled in the process of concept
construction
supporting diverse learning styles and abilities
Building self awaerness and reflection skills
Access to technology and digital resources
NEED OF LEARNING CYCLE
13.
David Kolb(1984), a management expert
from Case Western Reserve University,
developed his learning style model in the
early 1970s.
In Kolb’s theory
Knowledge is Acquired through
Transformational process which is
continuously created or recreated
14.
Following are fourmodes or abilities of
learning:
Concrete Experience (CE)
Reflective Observation (RO)
Abstract Conceptualization (AC)
Active Experimentation (AE)
Modes of Kolb’s Model:
At Concreteexperience (CE) stage of learning
cycle, learners tend to rely more on feelings
then on a systemic approach to problems and
situations.
Learners who fall into this category like
interacting with people, They learn from
feeling.
Concrete Experience:
17.
At ReflectiveObservation (RO) stage of learning
cycle, personal thoughts and feelings to form
opinions.
His kind of people look for meaning of things
by viewing them from different perspectives.
They learn by watching and listening.
Reflective Observation:
18.
learners relyon logic and ideas rather than on
feelings.
People who fall into this category use logical
analysis to solve problems.
They learn by thinking.
Abstract Conceptualization:
19.
learners liketo experiment to get things done.
They enjoy involvement and are risk taker.
They learn by doing.
Active Experimentation:
20.
Kolb’s model includetwo major
dimensions:
He hypothesizes that learning results from
the way learners perceive as well as how
they process what they perceive.
Dimensions:
PERCEPTION PROCESSING

viewpoints:
Some learners perceive

Kolb describes followingfour learning styles, which
are the combination of basic learning modes
(concrete experience, reflective observation,
abstract conceptualization, active
experimentation):
Learning Style:
Diverger
Accommodator
Assimilator
Converger
Diverger
(CE+RO)
Divergerslearn best through group discussion and
participating in brain storming sessions.
1.They have active imaginations
2.They like to observe, gather
information
26.
Assimilator
(RO+AC).
Thinkers learn best through lectures, one-to-one instructions.
1.They demonstrate the ability to understand the large
amount of information by putting it into concise form.
2.more focused on abstract ideas and concepts.
27.
learns throughdemonstrations/return demonstration methods
of teaching accompanied by handouts and diagrams.
(AC+AE)
1.use deductive reasoning to solve
problems.
2.prefer technical tasks rather than dealing with
social and interpersonal issues.
Converger
28.
Accommodator
(AE+CE).
Accommodative thinkersdemand new and
exciting experiences and are willing to take
risks.
1.Role play
2.gaming and computer simulations are most
preferred methods of teaching for this type of
learners.

HISTORICAL CONTENT:
• Developedby Ralph Tyler in the 1940’s
• The quintessential prototype of curriculum
development in the scientific approach.
31.
DESCRIPTION:
The Tyler modelinvolves a step-by-step
process of curriculum development that begins with defining
the objectives of the curriculum,
identifying appropriate learning experiences,
organizing these experiences into a logical
sequence
assessing the effectiveness of the curriculum in
achieving its objectives.
32.
The Tyler modelof curriculum development, also known
as the objectives model, a systematic and linear approach
to curriculum development that focuses on four
fundamental questions:
• What educational purposes should the school seek to
attain?
• What educational experiences can be provided that are
likely to attain these purposes?
• How can these educational experiences be effectively
organized?
• How can we determine whether these purposes are
being attained?
33.
STAGES OF TYLER’SMODEL:
The brilliance of Tyler’s model is
that it was one of the first models and it was and still is a
highly simple model consisting of four steps.
Determine the school’s purposes (objectives)
Identify educational experiences related to purpose
Organize the experiences
Evaluate the purposes
35.
The four stagesof the Tyler model are:
1.Defining objectives:
The first stage involves identifying the
educational objectives or goals that the curriculum is
intended to achieve. Objectives should be specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
2. Selecting content:
The second stage involves identifying the
content and learning experiences that will help students
achieve the objectives identified in the first stage. The
content should be relevant, meaningful, and appropriate
for the intended audience.
37.
STRENGTHS:
• It hasthe ability to promote deep understanding and
the transfer of learning.
• It has flexibility and adaptability to different
teaching and learning contexts.
• It involves the active participation of the learner.
• It aims at students' developing behaviors as its target
of teaching.
• It provides an easy to follow step-by-step
guide to curriculum planning and
development
38.
VARIATIONS:
There are variationson this model.
However, the Tyler model is still considered by many to
be the strongest model for curriculum development.
• Limited focus
• The Tyler model is mainly focused on cognitive
learning and does not give much attention to
affective or social learning. This means that it
may not fully address the diverse needs and
interests of students.
• too restrictive and covers a small range of students'
skills and knowledge.
• the model did not reflect how teachers develop
curriculum as in reality this process is constantly
changing and evolving.
