The Discovery

Learning Model
PRESENTED BY: ANDREA D. GAYO BECED 2
Jerome Seymour Bruner
October 1, 1915 - June 5, 2016

In 1961, an American psychologist, introduces


the Discovery Learning Model.

improved our understanding of knowledge


construction through symbolic representations,
scaffolding, and discovery. His ideas led to the
movements of ‘learning how to learn’ and ‘learning by
doing’ which are still the pivots of science education.
What is Discovery Learning?
 a method of Inquiry-Based Instruction. This popular theory encourages learners to build on
past experiences and knowledge, use their intuition, imagination and creativity, and search
for new information to discover facts, correlations and new truths. Learning does not equal
absorbing what was said or read, but actively seeking for answers and solutions.
 Discovery learning is an approach to education in which students learn the material from
their interests, experiences, and exploration.

 This is opposed to the idea of direct instruction which is the traditional method of teaching.
Direct instruction involves teachers giving students specific discrete facts or learning
objectives instead.
Examples of discovery learning
Scientific Experimentation
The scientific field is one of those that can benefit the most from
discovery learning. Some modern schools are implementing this
method, with the intention that their students discover some of the
most important principles of the natural sciences with a more
active approach.

An example would be the study of mechanics and movement in a


practical way. Teachers can provide children with different objects
and materials that they would have to move across different
surfaces.

Once the differences between all the combinations have been


verified, the teacher would make them reflect on concepts such as
friction, gravity or the action-reaction principle.
Computing

Computer science is increasingly present in our lives, but it has


the problem that it changes very quickly. Therefore, in order to
learn how to use it, it is necessary to become practically familiar
with it and understand the principles behind its most common
uses.

Thus, for example, it would not make much sense to teach a


theoretical class on the use of social networks or different web
tools. On the contrary, in this area it is more interesting to
provide students with the materials they need to investigate on
their own about the options that are available, controlling their
safety at all times.

The Primary Objectives of Discovery Learning

According to Jerome Bruner, there are two primary goals that


eLearning professionals should keep in mind when designing
Discovery Learning experiences:

 Discovery Learning should serve as an extension of the


constructivism theory, which focuses on learner-centric experiences.
 Discovery Learning should offer learners the structure they need to
research the subject matter on their own. In this respect, it serves as
a guide that learners can follow in order to expand their
comprehension.
3 Types of Discovery Learning

01 Pure Discovery Learning

02 Expositional Discovery Learning

03 Guided Discovery Learning


Pure Discovery Learning
 characterized by the techniques used. Essentially, these are techniques that
include no direct assistance at all, other than the encouragement given to
learners by the teacher.

 A teacher merely provides a problem to the learners that they have not seen
before. The teacher encourage them to work toward solving the problem on
their own. They will do that with no explanation of how to solve the problem.
Expositional Discovery Learning

 is not a passive method where students are simply listening or reading; rather,
expositional discovery involves hands-on activities such as conducting an experiment
to test a hypothesis or building a model to test an idea.

 The teacher provides learners with some initial knowledge, then through a structured
activity enables them to come to an understanding of a related principle.
Guided Discovery Learning
 also known as directed discovery, is a type of learning where the teacher guides
the students to solve problems, complete tasks, and make meaningful
associations. The teacher provides clues and information, but the learner makes
discoveries on their own.

 Guided discovery learning focuses on the process of problem-solving


with the teacher acting in a supportive role.

 provides you with more structure rather than using Trial and Error.
Benefits of Discovery Learning
Promotes autonomy
Increases Engagement and independence

It motivates students
to learn

Increases levels Generates life-


of retention long results
How to Implement Discovery Learning
In the Classroom
Have your students do tasks alone

Assign interviews to spark curiosity

Do a virtual dissection

Incorporate data-based projects

Encourage mistakes and productive struggle


Is Discovery Learning effective?

Yes. Discover learning is effective for a student because it


allows them to learn something new by first observing it,
then figuring out the information themselves.

This can have benefits such as engaging students more in


their learning, connecting new ideas to prior knowledge, and
getting students to practice creative thinking.
Can you implement a discovery learning model in
an online class?

If the learning is self-directed, then yes. It requires that


the learner experience first-hand certain tasks so they
can discover new facts and rules of concepts. It
promotes self-learning, which is a key aspect of any
good eLearning course.
QUOTE OF THE DAY

True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they
invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing,
joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own."
— Nikos Kazantzakis
