It is a psychological teaching model and was developed by Robert Glaser in 1962. This model explains the relationship between teaching and learning. It is basic model based on basic principles of psychology. Nelson L Bossing called the model the Classroom Meeting Model.
Glaser Model consist four elements
Instructional Objectives
These are defined objectives which the students should achieve at the completion of particular instruction. These objectives are based on Bloom’s Taxonomy of behavioral objectives. The objectives may be stated in general, specific or behavioral terms. Generally, Mager’s approach is adopted for stating ‘cognitive’ and ‘affective’ objectives in behavioral term.
Entry Behavior
Once the objectives have been decided, the teacher tries to assess the entry behaviour of the learners i.e. their previous knowledge, level of intelligence, motivation state and interests are found out.
Instructional Procedure
On the basis of objectives and entry behavior of the learner, the teacher select the content, teaching strategy and proper audio visual aids. At this step, interaction between pupils and teacher take place. Teacher present the content matter before learners.
Performance Assessment
The teacher tries to evaluate the outcome of teaching. It can be done with the help of tools and techniques of evaluation. This model is flexible in the sense that if a student shows low achievement in attaining the desirable objective, feedback is provided till he achieves the desired instructional objectives.
