The chart, 4 models of teaching, is a graphic organizer for some various methods of teaching created by my professor, Dr. Ludmilla Smirnova. The methods outlined are; Social Family Method (aka, SIM for Social Interactive Method), Information Processing Model (IPM), Personal Family, and Behavorial Systems Family. I am familiar with SIM and IPM since I was introduced to them in another class. I am not familiar with Personal Family and Behavioral Systems Family. The link was broken to the referenced article.
The Social Interactive Model is just as the name implies. It promotes student learning through collaboration with peers. CWPT (Class Wide Peer Tutoring), Jigsaw, and any type of project activity where students are learning from each other are all methods of promoting a social learning environment where unity is promoted and bullying is dissuaded.
The Information Processing Method is used when the teacher wants to teach a method of solving a problem. The Scientific Method, for instance, is frequently taught and used to solve problems. Concept Attainment is another framework for solving a problem; having students devise the concept from random content.
I gather that the Personal Family teaching method is based on the personal profile of the student. From the graphic organizer it seems that instruction is closely associated with affective nature of the student. Instruction is one-on-one.
The Behavioral Systems Family is a direct instructional strategy. From the limited details on the organizer, it seems that the method promotes student mastery of a topic. Mastery can be promoted through teacher-student tutoring, the availabily of addiitional resources, or additional classroom instruction for a makeup test.
