Which of the following assists students in managing their own learning by modelling a problem solving technique?
ADrill and practice
BMental modelling ✓ Correct
CDiscovery learning
DDirect instruction
Correct answer: (B) Mental modelling — Mental modelling helps students manage their own learning by modelling a problem solving technique, so it is the answer.
Explanation
★Mental modelling helps students manage their own learning by modelling a problem solving technique, so it is the answer.
★In mental modelling the teacher thinks aloud and shows the steps of solving a problem so learners can copy the method.
★By seeing the technique demonstrated, students internalise it and can then guide and manage their own learning.
★Drill and practice only repeats a task to fix it in memory, without modelling how to reason through a problem.
★Discovery learning lets students find things out for themselves but does not centre on the teacher modelling a technique.
★Direct instruction delivers content in a teacher led way, so it too is not the modelling of a problem solving method.
