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.
