Classified Learning Techniques

1. Mind Maps
2. Concept Mapping
3. Outlining

Introduce popular techniques for classified learning and briefly explain each one.

Mind Maps

Mind maps are visual diagrams that represent ideas and concepts, helping to establish relationships and connections between information.

Elaborate on the concept of mind maps, describe their structure, and demonstrate how to create one.

Concept Mapping

Concept mapping involves creating a network of interconnected concepts, showcasing relationships and hierarchies.

Explain the concept mapping technique, highlight its flexibility, and provide an example for students to practice.

Outlining

Outlining is a structured way of organizing information through hierarchical subheadings and bullet points.

Describe the outlining technique, emphasize its usefulness for organizing written content, and guide students in creating an outline.

Practice Classified Learning

Choose a topic of interest and apply one of the classified learning techniques to organize and understand the information.

Assign a small activity where students can choose a topic, select a classified learning technique, and practice organizing the information.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
