Models of Teaching: Connecting Student Learning With Standards
“The models approach provides a way of connecting theory and practice in ways that other approaches do not. Some of the texts that I have used discuss theory separately from application, and it's always a challenge for students to grasp the connection and figure out how they could use the knowledge in practice. I have seen the models approach used with a graduate level course in instructional technology that I used years back. It's good to see that applied to an undergrad course. I have ongoing concerns about starting with technology. I would much rather focus on the teaching and then figure out the technology. Using a models approach has the potential to give students a stronger conceptual base into which they can think about technology.”(Kedmon Hungwe 2007-10-01)"It is a good textbook for teacher-educators as well as for teachers who are facing evolutionary changes in the pedagogy of classroom instruction and how this classroom instruction could be supplemented by ICT—web-based student study site...This publication is a good case for useful contemporary reference."(V.P.
