Guided Discovery Model
What I like about this model: This model can be used in several subjects, but it is especially great for science. This model increases motivation and engagement. It requires higher order thinking with Bloom's Taxonomy. It gives the students a break from consistent worksheets. This model also gives students control over their own learning.
What I don't like about this model: For a newer teacher or someone new to this model, it can be quite difficult to correctly plan. Open-ended questions can be hard to come up with until you have the hang of things. Furthermore, this model requires a lot of over-planning to ensure that you are able to fill up the correct amount of time with the correct amount of questions. Students may have a hard time at first as they begin to learn the concept of examples and non-examples.
How I can see myself utilizing this model: I definitely see myself using this model for science lessons. This models helps students understand concepts and generalizations in a fun way. They are working on higher order thinking without even necessarily realizing it. Also, this model gives the students their own voice as they give their own input and answers.
