The document discusses how different pedagogical approaches would teach a lesson about volcanoes, including the behaviorist approach using flashcards and tests, the constructivist approach having students create models and compare knowledge, the cognitivist approach categorizing volcano types and labeling parts, and the pragmatist approach incorporating a field trip, models, and literature into the lesson.

Might approach the same assignment

2. Behaviorist
and the Volcano Lesson
• Flash cards with facts about volcanoes
• Tests with multiple-choice answers
• Think-pair share with partners or in small
groups

3. Constructivist
and the Volcano Lesson
• Work in a group to understand different
aspects of volcanoes
• Create a model of a volcano
• Create a KWL chart with students and they
compare their prior knowledge to what they
have newly learned
•

4. Cognitivist
and the Volcano Lesson
• Categorize different types volcanoes
• Label different parts of a volcano
• Use the Internet to research different
volcanoes

5. Pragmatist
and the Volcano Lesson
• Make a model of a volcano
• Go on a field trip
• Provide literature for students to read
• Use a powerpoint presentation to teach lesson

6. Multiple Intelligence
and the Volcano Lesson
• Watch a video about volcanoes
• Work in groups to make models or diagrams
of volcanoes
• Students can share information through a blog
