Five Ways to Encourage Intentional Self-discovery in Learning - Giving  Compass




Discovery Education




Definition:





Discovery learning – or learning by exploration – is an

effective teaching technique that encourages 

engagement and encourages students to learn new 

things based on their interests.


The Discovery Learning Method is a


constructivist theory, meaning it is based


on the idea that students construct their


own understanding and knowledge of


the world through experiencing things


and reflecting on those experiences. ..


Teachers will give students


a problem and some resources to solve it.

What is Discovery Education for


students?




Discovery Education Science is a comprehensive,

 research-backed, three-dimensional science

program that combines digital-first learning resources

 with high-quality, standards-aligned content to spark

 curiosity and drive active engagement in science.






“While YouTube and other websites are chock full of


content, the teachers I work with report that finding


really high-quality, standards-aligned content they can


 quickly integrate into instruction is difficult.





Discovery Education makes that process of finding


 digital resources that are both engaging and


appropriate for classroom use simple, saving my


teachers a tremendous amount of time that can then


spend with their students.”

What Is Discovery Learning?





To explain what discovery learning is, it helps to pinpoint its

opposite: direct instruction. In direct instruction, teachers

lecture students in a classroom, giving them the information

they need to know about a topic.




On the other hand, 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.

What Are the Types of Discovery


 Learning?




1. Pure Discovery Learning





Pure discovery learning is 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.




This type of discovery learning is passive and can be

compared to the type of learning that takes place when

 you go on a family trip and tour a museum. You basically

stand around and absorb what you can from a variety of

methods such as reading the information, viewing pictures,

and observing demonstrations.




However, you learn primarily by paying attention to what

 is going on around you. So, in pure discovery learning,

students have to discover the rules and concepts on

their own, with little to no assistance from a teacher.




A teacher merely provides a problem to the learners

that they have not seen before. The teacher can then

encourage them to work toward solving the problem on

their own. They will do that with no explanation of how to

solve the problem.





2. Expositional Discovery Learning




Expositional discovery 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. However, with

maximal help from the teacher.




The teacher provides learners with some initial knowledge,

then through a structured activity enables them to come to

an understanding of a related principle.




In this type of learning, the instructor determines the

procedures that should be followed to arrive at the solution

of a problem. The expositional approach is often called

expository teaching.




Generally, this type of learning is similar to Direct 

Instruction because the students or learners will eventually 

not make any discovery themselves. The teacher helps 

hem with all they need and even what they will learn

 in the end. Therefore, students have no or little 

discovery to make.






3. Guided Discovery Learning




Guided Discovery Learning which is 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.

 This type of learning is often used in advanced placement

courses that focus on authentic learning, such as AP

physics or AP literature.




The teacher may point out specific details that students

may not have noticed on their own. For example, the

teacher might ask, “What’s different in this picture than

 in the previous one?” Or they might say, “Look at the

 title of these books. What do you imagine they’re about?”





In my opinion, it is a worthwhile method of achieving your

 goals in teaching and learning, especially if you are

embarking on this path for the first time. Guided Discovery

 provides you with more structure rather than using Trial

and Error.


 



What Are the Benefits of Discovery


 Learning?







1. Increases engagement




Discovery learning is a way to engage this curiosity in the

 classroom, and let children explore on their own. Instead

of giving them the answers, you give them problems, and

let them work out the solutions. It’s an effective way to

help kids learn math and other subjects.




Have your students talk through their approaches to

equations, discuss their previous knowledge, and use

 it to solve problems (instead of telling them how). Even

better, make math a communal activity. Making math

social enhances engagement and motivation while

completing mathematical activities and projects.





When working in groups, however, the possibility of a

single student dominating the debate cannot be discounted.

 Using a pedagogical strategy known as “complex education,” you

may both correct this inequity and guarantee that your

classroom reaps the benefits of group work.






2. Promotes autonomy and



independence





One of the main benefits of discovery learning is that it

allows students to have a greater role in their own

education. Through discovery learning, students

become more independent and self-motivated.

Discovery learning also encourages your students

 to think critically.






This keeps them further engaged and encourages them.

 It is their responsibility to master each level before

moving forward. To engage in problem-solving, even

 when working in groups or participating in math talks,

students must first think independently and creatively.





They must take information from multiple sources and

formulate conclusions based on their findings. With

practice, the skills learned through discovery learning

can translate into a student’s personal life and

professional career.




3. It motivates students to learn



Discovery learning through hands-on projects offers a

 way to motivate students from the very start, with active

learning that is exciting, challenging and encourages

deeper levels of learning.





The best part? Since students have an interest in the

subject matter from the start, it’s easier for instructors to

reengage and motivate students in the lesson when

distractions arise.





Students receive encouragement to learn about and

explore the world around them. Since discovery learning

is self-paced, your students can advance only when they

are ready.





With this type of learning, students can take an active

 role in their education and gain knowledge via direct

experiences, reflection, and interaction with their

classmates.





4. Increases levels of retention




Discovery Learning is based on the idea that if students

can come up with an answer by themselves, they will be

more likely to remember it for a longer period than if they

were taught the information by their teacher.





Unlike other types of learning that are rooted in

memorization, discovery learning is a learner-centered

approach that allows people to explore new ways of

thinking and truly discover the meaning of the subject

they’re learning in order to reach the desired outcome

 all by themselves.





Though this process takes considerably longer than if the

 teacher were simply to tell the students the answers and

ask them to commit these to memory. But the long-term

retention is much greater with discovery learning.





5. Generates life-long results



The Discovery Learning model creates life-long results.

Your students will learn at their own pace with plenty of

hands-on and project-based activities, keeping them

engaged and excited to come back for more.




This model is especially effective in science, overall

knowledge of the world, and life-long learning. With

this method, students learn by doing. By allowing them

 to explore concepts, they can develop a deeper

understanding of content without the teacher forcing

them to do repetitive drills or work at an arbitrary pace.




The best part?

 You get to see the growth over time and

watch your students actually apply what they’ve learned.
