Day 4: Cues, Questions, & Advanced Organizers
Generalizations from the Research
1. Cues, questions, and advance organizers should focus on what is important as opposed to what is unusual.
2. “Higher level” questions and advance organizers produce deeper learning than “lower level.”
3. Advance organizers are most useful with information that is not well organized.
4. Different types of advance organizers produce different results.
5. “Waiting” briefly before accepting responses from students has the effect of increasing the depth of students’ answers.
6. Questions are effective learning tools even when asked before a learning experience.
Advance Organizers
1. Expository – giving descriptions of new content in written or oral form
2. Narrative – presents information to students in a story format to make personal connections
3. Skimming – quickly reading upcoming information
4. Graphic Organizers – visually representing information
Classroom Recommendations
1. Use expository advance organizers.
2. Use narrative advance organizers.
3. Teach students skimming as a form of advance organizers.
4. Teach students how to use graphic organizers.
5. Use explicit cues.
6. Ask inferential questions.
7. Ask analytic questions.
