  1. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom ... give original examples as to how you as teacher could use [the stage theory of information processing] to structure the learning process to help students learn better. Developed by W. Huitt (1999)

  2. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 1. Gain the students' attention. • Use cues to signal when you are ready to begin. • Move around the room and use voice inflections.

  3. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 2. Bring to mind relevant prior learning. • Review previous day's lesson. • Have a discussion about previously covered.

  4. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 3. Point out important information. • Provide handouts. • Write on the board or use transparencies.

  5. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 4. Present information in an organized manner. • Show a logical sequence to concepts and skills. • Go from simple to complex when presenting new material.

  6. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 5. Show students how to categorize (chunk) related information. • Present information in categories. • Teach inductive reasoning.

  7. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 6. Provide opportunities for students to elaborate on new information. • Connect new information to something already known. • Look for similarities and differences among concepts.

  8. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 7. Show students how to use coding when memorizing lists. • Make up silly sentence with first letter of each word in the list. • Use mental imagery techniques such as the keyword method.

  9. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example • State important principles several times in different ways during presentation (STM). 8. Provide for repetition of learning. • Have items on each day's lesson from previous lesson (LTM). • Schedule periodic reviews of previously learned concepts and skills (LTM).

  10. Using The Information Processing Approach In The Classroom Principle Example 9. Provide opportunities for overlearning of fundamental concepts and skills. • Use daily drills for arithmetic facts. • Play form of trivial pursuit with content related to class.
