Exploring Diverse Pedagogies for Teaching About Volcanoes

This resource demonstrates how various pedagogical approaches—Behaviorist, Constructivist, Cognitivist, Pragmatist, and Multiple Intelligence—can be applied to the same assignment about volcanoes. Each method is illustrated via a volcano-themed PowerPoint project, showcasing specific activities like flashcards for memorization, online collaboration, and building models. Teachers will find detailed expectations, assessment strategies, and authentic experiences that cater to different learning styles, enriching student understanding of volcanic phenomena and their impacts.

  1. How various pedagogiesmight approach the same assignment Kate Gauger Julie Blanton

  2. Behavioristand the VolcanoPowerPoint -Flashcards to memorize terms -Charting and graphing forms of volcano -Use rubrics with detailed expectations -Step by step process delineated -Clear and specific goals and deadlines -Specific expectations as to facts, figures, charts, diagrams, illustrations -Specific slide totals and design requirements -Standardized, detailed rubric -Formative and summative assessments

  3. Constructivistand the VolcanoPowerPoint • Online collaboration • Digital cameras/recorders • Build a model volcano • Discuss how early people felt about volcanoes • Read stories and myths about volcanoes • Create a fictional account of a volcano • Reasons for studying volcanoes • Dramatic stories of previous volcanoes • Comparison of volcanoes to other events • Discussion of the human toll

  4. Cognitivistand the VolcanoPowerPoint • Background preparation would include intensive study and research • Memorize details of previous eruptions • Outside reading required • Written analysis of information • Predict what might happen to our town if a volcano erupted near by • Build model of earth’s geological structures • Outside reading required • Respond with analysis to written literature and study • Reteaching based on summative assessments

  5. Pragmatistand the VolcanoPowerPoint • Students create a volcano survival kit • Students create a play to demonstrate events • Journal writing relating personal experiences • Field trip to study land formations • Disaster relief • Escape and rescue techniques • Warning signs and likelihood • Hard facts from previous volcanoes • Alternative mediums in addition to or instead of PowerPoint • Assessment based on authentic experiences

  6. Multiple Intelligenceand the VolcanoPowerPoint • Collaborate to decide what the best way to be safe during emergency • Create online website to tell a story of event • Communicate with students in country that experiences eruptions • Use gps to find nearest active and inactive volcanoes • Field trip to petrified forest to study effects of geological disturbances • Map the forest after the volcanic eruption in petrified forest • One slide on each intelligence • An interpretative presentation that includes multimedia and audience interaction • Supplementary materials brought in as part of the presentation • Opportunities to use alternative mediums in addition to or instead of PowerPoint
