    1) Identify Topics- Teachers choose a topic. The guided discovery model works best if the topic is a concept or generalization. 2) Specify Learning Objectives- After topic is chosen, then the teacher must decide what he/she wants her students to know about it. Objectives need to be very clear. 3) Prepare Examples and Non examplesTeacher creates or finds examples based off of the learning objectives. Nonexamples are especially important for teaching closely related concepts. Examples need to be high-quality, which means that they contain all the information the students need to reach the learning objective. Variety of examples can be used and they need to be in context.

    1) Introduction- This phase is intended to attract students attention and provide a conceptual framework for what is to follow. This can be done in a variety of ways. 2) The Open-ended Phrase- Teacher presents the students with chosen examples and asks the students to make observations and comparisons of the examples. The goal is for the students to respond to the open-ended questions where a variety of answers are acceptable. This phase is to increase student involvement and motivation. 3) The Convergent Phrase- Teacher asks more specific questions in order to guide the students to an understanding of the concept/generalization. This phase helps students to reach the specific learning objective. 4) Closure and Application- Teacher guides the students to a definition of the concept/generalization, and the students apply their understanding to a new context.

    Students can be assessed in a variety of ways, from paper and pencil tests to performance measures and portfolios. Teachers need to make sure that their objectives, learning activities, and assessments are aligned. Informal assessment may be done throughout the course of the lesson as the teacher sees how much her students understand the concept/generalization. A formal assessment may be the students creating something of their own to demonstrate their understanding of the topic, such as an essay or a poem. This also could take the form of a quiz or another assignment. Assessments need to promote learning and motivation. Providing detailed feedback and discussion is crucial.

    This model is based on the intrinsically motivating effects of student involvement and a sense of the unknown. The open-ended questions promote high levels of student involvement, which increases students interests and feelings of autonomy. These are both things that motivate students. A sense of curiosity and challenge is created through this model. When this challenge is met, students feel competent. This would motivate students to want to learn more because they have a sense of accomplishment and this also helps with student self-esteem.

    So what? What is important to understand about this?

    This model is a way for teachers to guide students to develop a deep understanding of a specific topic, while also developing critical-thinking abilities. The model uses curiosity and challenge to gain student interest, motivation, and involvement.
