Teaching Science Through Information Processing Model: A Review

Abstract

Models of teaching, like plans, patterns, or blueprints present the steps necessary to bring about a desired outcome. Models create the necessary environment, which facilitates the teaching learning process. There are many powerful models of teaching designed to bring about particular kinds of learning and to help students to learn more effectively. Information processing models share an orientation towards the information processing capability of students and the ways in which they can improve their ability to master information. This review discussed the information processing models used by different researchers to study their effectiveness in the teaching different science subjects with an aim to help the future researchers possessing the interest in using information processing models.
