The cone of learning

We all are looking for a nature of involvement where learner is both motivated to learn and engaged in active learning.

But, what is active learning?
Active leaning involves the learner answering for themselves the question 

"How does this relate to what I already know 

and how does this benefit me?"

As educators we are promoting LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills) as well as HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) helping our students to start to implement the application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of new knowledge.

As educators, we know that the highest level of understanding is achieved when a student knows the material well enough to teach it. 





WBT gives kiddos that opportunity through the use of 5 steps lesson plan.Check 5 lesson plan. How?
LOTS  
Acquired knowledge. It is important to know the prior knowledge of our students of the subject. This includes Wh-questions: Who? What? Where? When? Do you know? 

Now lets get started into the 5 step lesson plan

We need to begin with step 1 up to step 2. Question to Acquired comprehension. Kiddos are able to explain and understand the knowledge. This includes questions as Can you identify...? Name...., List....
Once kiddos have mastered the basic understanding, s/he is ready to move on to the next level which involves using that information in some way. This entails applying higher-order thinking skills, or:

HOTS

Here comes step 3, applying/analysing that is being able to apply understanding or knowledge by giving out examples, contrasting, debating as well as interpreting knowledge in relation to context.
Lets go on to step 4, assessment to evaluate its merit using "Cutie"

And finally reaching step 5, Synthesis and creating where kiddos are able to apply knowledge in a new setting and use information.

WBT stands for HOTS. What about you?
