Methods of Implementing The "learning Cycle"
- Engage: Use of anecdotes that relate to subject.
- Explore: Allow discussion that students discover answers instead of just hearing answers.
- Explain: Students are required to reword what they have learned to demonstrate their knowledge.
- Extend: Take the principles taught and have students apply the knowledge in another area or facet of the subject.
- Evaluate: Observe and correct each student individually to perfect their "working" knowledge of the subject.
