Constructivism Direct Instruction Strategy
Approach
The TGA Activity
Tell This lesson introduces the main purpose of a concept paper- to clarify the
meaning of a concept, here, “boondocks,” you will learn that a definition
usually forms the core of a concept; this definition may consist of the original
meaning of the term/ concept, especially one of foreign borrowing, and the
modifications on its original meaning and the later and the present- day uses of
the word clarify the concept further.
Techniques:
1. Formal- follows a pattern or equation: term + genus+ differentia
(differentiating characteristics)
Ex. A robot is a machine that looks like a human being and performs
complex acts of a human being (Webster).
2. By synonym- using a word or phrase that shares a meaning with the
term being defined.
Ex. Hashish- marijuana
3. By origin or semantic history
Ex. Yoga comes from the Sanskrit “to join”.
4. By illustration
Ex. Known for shedding their leaves in the fall, deciduous trees includes
oaks, maples, and beeches.
5. By function
Ex. A thermometer measures temperature change.
6. By analysis- breaking down wholes into parts, aspects into levels, and
process into steps.
Ex. The republican form of government has three branches: the
executive, the legislative, and the judiciary.
7. By likeness or similarity
Ex. Brighter than 100 million suns, quasars, stand like beacons on the
shore of the universe.
8. By analogy or metaphor
Ex. The germs and the bacteria or antigens are like a gang of villains
invading our body, attacking our unseen defenders, the layers of
macrophages, cytokines, and lymphocytes.
9. By contrast- using opposites
Ex. Unlike those of gas, the particles of plasma are electrically charged.
10. By negation- stating what a term is not
Ex. Wild rice, an American delicacy, is not rice at all but the seed of a
tall aquatic grass.
