teaching model

Categories: Site glossary

a representation of some target (curriculum) knowledge considered suitable for a particular learner or group or learners

 

Example of use:

"teachers will need to interpret the intentions of curriculum statements…and decide how to represent this in teaching. Sometimes this may require further simplifications…and may involve the use of pedagogic devices such as teaching models, analogies, similes, and even anthropomorphic narratives" (Taber, 2019)
