Application

THEORY/CONCEPT APPLICATION
Schema Schema in teaching:
(Basic Cognitive Concept of Piaget’s Schema can be applied in the pre-reading,
Stages of Cognitive Development) while-reading, and post-reading phases. In
the Pre-reading phase, teachers should
explain words, phrases and sentences
patterns, provide the context of the
material, and remember that just because
students know every word does not mean
they will comprehend the material. While-
reading is the comprehension phase
where teachers should explain the detailed
content and different customs or historical
culture related to the article. In the post-
reading phase, teachers can implement
discussion, role-playing, or writing
assignment to test understanding.

Schema in learning:
Before introducing a reading lesson
focusing on use of context to decode
unknown words, the teacher may present
a sentence ending in an unknown word
and offer a variety of suggestions
regarding what the word might be.
Students can use schema already in place
to determine that the word doesn’t have
the letters to make the sounds of some of
the suggested words, is too short to be
some of the lengthy suggestions, doesn’t
make grammatical sense based on their
experience with spoken language,
wouldn’t fit the illustration provided with the
sentence. These are all approaches with
which the students may already be
familiar, making them part of the schema
to which new methods of attack for
decoding unknown words may be
attached.
