Social Family of Model The Social Family of Models apply social psychological principles in the classroom. Teacher Student and Student Interaction patterns have implications for learning.

Social Family of Model Face-toface interaction Student centred teaching approaches Relationship to the other persons and the society Teachers facilitate group work

Social Family of Model Uses group inquiry and problem-solving strategies Encourages assimilation and understanding Relies on students’ personal and social values

Steps to implementing Social Interaction Students present findings Introduction of concept by facilitator STEPS Students group into teams Students assess their work Students negotiate, compromise, and explain concepts to another while facilitator monitors

Strengths Student centred model that engages a higher level of thinking Promotes meaningful learning Promotes leadership, team work and problem solving skills More motivated when working together Cooperative setting

Disadvantages 1 The process of social interaction is time consuming 2 Its difficult to reach all content objectives 3 Group dynamics may also inhibit student learning 4 Some students may not participate 5 Differently ability students may find it difficult to participate 6 Instructors must consistently monitor group behaviour

Cooperative learning • It is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their understanding of a subject. • Each member of a team is responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping team mates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of achievement. • Academic engagement through social interaction • Activities structured so that students need each other to accomplish tasks • “We Instead Of Me”

Elements of Cooperative Learning Face-to-Face Interaction Interpersonal and Small. Group Skills Individual Accountability Positive Interdependence Group Processing
