Forms of Assessment :: Teaching Education

Forms of Assessment If one was to draw a continuum on a piece of paper to plot out the different modes of language cultivation the transactional method would be close to the center of the line, with the transmissional method and organic/ amorous method on the opposing ends. The transmissional method of instruction accentes direct instruction, usually with drill and practice type of exercises. The lessons are skills based with a stress on disrupt to whole language. This refers to experiencing course as their individual graphophonemic parts. The transactional method of teaching stresses the facilitation of in cast of charactersation from the teacher to the student. Learning for the transactional teacher is a tender process with the savant. Knowledge is constructed by the learner and language is taught from whole to part. Whole to part refers to the context with which the learner sees text. Rather than learning words and graphemes individually, the learner sees them in full texts. These language methods are often determine by the particular paradigm that each teacher chooses. The search for verity forms the various paradigms that we have discussed in class. According to Realism, truth send packing be establish only in the real conception. The quest for knowledge ends with what we can see and feel and touch. Realism is very empirical and scientific indeed translates into a transmissional take of language. An example of a doctrine that comes from this paradigm is Essentialism. In contrast to Realism, Pragmatism holds that thither is no truth. Truth is not found in the real world, but truth is relative. It is defined and constructed by the learner. The Pragmatist view translates into a transactional method of language instruction. The transaction between the teacher and the learner is a mutual quest for knowledge. The prime example of a philosophy of education that arises from Pragmatism is Constructivism. The third out of the three main parad igms that form educational thought is high-mindedness. Unlike Pragmatism, Idealism says that there is truth. Also, unlike Realism, Idealism says that truth can be found in the metaphysical. So where does that apply Christians? Christians find knowledge in both the metaphysical (from God) and from the real world (His creation). That means that there must be a middle reasonableness between Realism and Idealism. This middle ground is called Christian Theism. Christian Theism holds that there is truth and that it can be found, through God and His works.
