How to solve equation ~ Mathematics for Form 2

How to solve equations 

   



a) Discuss the Instructional elements in the video

Constructivism approaches :
This video teach step by step how to solve the equation, so it is a learning process which allows a student to experience an environment first-hand, thereby, giving the student reliable, trust-worthy knowledge. The student is required to act upon the environment to both acquire and test new knowledge.  

Behavioral approaches :
    1. Breaking down the skills and information to be learned into small units.
    2. Checking student's work regularly and providing feedback as well as encouragement (reinforcement).
    3. Teaching "out of context." Behaviorists generally believe that students can be taught best when the focus is directly on the content to be taught. Behavioral instruction often takes the material out of the context in which it will be used.
    4. Direct or "teacher centered" instruction.


2) Explain the advantages and disadvantages of the video especially for learning.
Advantages : Students learns step by step how to solve equation.
Disadvantages : Students can't ask teacher if they are not understand.
