Meaning:
This theme addresses how well students communicate
with one another in class. Classes where students
have opportunities to communicate with each other
help students effectively construct their knowledge.
By emphasizing the collaborative and cooperative
nature of scientific work, students share responsibility
for learning with each other, discuss divergent
understandings, and shape the direction of the class.
Within social interaction, the instruct or facilitator and
student take on specific roles. The instructor must
explain the concept topic and organize the groups.
The process and rules of working as teams will
need to be taught and reviewed to build team skills and
group cohesion.
During the process, the instructor must provide content
focus and review. Interaction must be student to student.
Students must be active and responsible for their
learning, both acting as a facilitator and learner.
Students will be able to explain content to one another
as well as the entire class.
Steps to implementing Social Interaction:
Group Discussion
Group discussion helps develop thinking skills and
social interaction. Discussions can be used as an
introduction to a lesson to get students into the
proper mindset, or compose an entire lesson. There
are two types of discussion, whole-class and small-
group .
Teacher's responsibilities
They include:
Planning the discussion thoroughly, creating key
questions to ask of the group to:
1- keep the discussion goals within reach, keep
the learners in mind when planning, know the
issue well,
2-provide an objective, create a "supportive
classroom environment".
3- correct incorrect discussions,
4-show the relationship of facts and brought up
during the exercise,
5-and keep things interesting and light to avoid
conflicts.
Student responsibilities include: knowledge of the
topic, respect others' opinions, and think about
their own opinions.
Group Investigation
One example of this method is the think-pair-share
strategy. Think-pair-share is a discussion teaching
strategy that involves three stages of student
interaction.
Think-pair-share is a structured timed discussion
helping eliminating off task thinking and behavior.
Students’ intellectual and social skills are developed
when using these activities,by listening carefully,
sharing, summarizing, and asking question.
Some examples of group projects are study groups
where student review content to prepare for exams,
shop or peer helpers where older students teach
young students, panels and debate teams .
Students research a controversial issue and
choose a pro/con side to defend against another
group, or role playing, simulation, and game teams
where student play games on content that had
been taught resulting in a certificate or prize to
the winning group.
These models are student centered so they engage a
higher level of thinking. Because the method is
student centered it promotes meaningful learning.
It can be beneficial to students that work well in a
cooperative setting, and can be used to promote
leadership, team work and problem solving skills.
This strategy is most beneficial to students that work
well in a cooperative environment rather than a
competitive one.
Some students are able to learn more efficiently
and be more motivated when working together with
their peers rather than by themselves.
Because students work together in groups they
learn to use leadership as well as problem solving
skills.
Interaction and Technology
Since the Social Interaction Method depends on the
students to interact with one another, this is where
technology comes in. Discussion boards and chat
rooms are some examples that allow for the social
contact of students while using technology.
The teachers can then monitor students, promote on
task behaviors, and help students through
e-conversations. A main source of technology these
days is the Internet and the unlimited amount of
information we get from it. The Internet, e-mail, blogs,
and any website you can think of, keeps us learning
without having come to clash
There must be a mutual interaction in the teaching or
learning process through the following sides:
1-The instructor interacts with the learners, the
content ,the method of teaching , the technology
used and the teaching aids.
2- The learner interacts first with himself as a self
talk, with the peer, the pair and the group as a
dialoguing with others, the content , the technology
used, the environmental realia as a practical
learning and with his daily life as an independent
learning.
