Independent Study Behaviors: A Framework for Curriculum Development

LD students spend a good deal of their instructional time under the watchful eye of the teacher. Supervision that is too close or constant may retard the student's development of independent study behaviors (ISB's). In this article, Brown discusses characteristics, assessment and curriculum development of ISB's. Since a basic instructional goal for LD students is independence of action, this topic is of particular relevance to the LD Professional.

On Task Behavior

This study evaluated the effectiveness of teacher and peer supervision in increasing levels of on-task behavior and work performance in a prevocational setting. Six severely retarded individuals served as subjects and were assigned an assembly task. Results indicated that close supervision by either a teacher or peer was superior to the baseline condition. In addition, results showed that peer supervision produced higher levels of on-task behavior among subjects than did teacher supervision. It was suggested that delegating some student supervisory responsibilities permits a teacher to use instructional time more efficiently and affords the supervising peer an opportunity to learn valuable work-related skills.

Communicative Language Teaching ◽

Experimental Teaching

As in most other countries, the interest in communicative language teaching has been considerable in Canada. This interest has influenced curriculum development, materials production, experimental teaching, and approaches to language testing; and a good deal of experience has been reported. As everywhere else, there is in Canada today a need to clarify what is meant by communicative language teaching (CLT). In paper appearing in the proceedings of the 1978 AILA Congress in Montreal, the present author has attempted to distinguish between the psychopedagogic and the sociolinguistic concepts under which CLT has been understood (Stern, 1978). As will be seen, the distinction underlies this discussion.

The aim of this study was to develop curriculum of “Jadi Pendamping Adik” subject in class X of Sint Peter Catholic Senior High School in Ende. This study was research and development which used Dick and Carrey model as the procedur of curriculum development. The steps of the curriculum development were: identify instructional goal, conduct instructional analysis, analyze learnes and contexts, write specific learning objectives, develop assesment instrumen, develop instructional strategy, develop and select instructional materials, design and conduct formative evaluation of instruction, and revise. Data feasiblity analysis from the experts used qualitatif and quantitatif descriptive data analysis. The result of the feasibility analysis from the instructional design expert, the percentage of achievment level was 92.5% with a very good qualifications and feasible to be used with revisions as needed. The result of the feasibility analysis from each material experts was 90% and 92.5% with a very good qualifications and feasible to be used with revisions as needed. The curriculum development of “Jadi Pendamping Adik” subject in class X was feasible to be used as a guide in learning.

Large Clusters

Potassium permanganate has been successfully employed to study membranous structures such as endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, plastids, plasma membrane and myelin sheath. Since KMnO4 is a strong oxidizing agent, deposition of manganese or its oxides account for some of the observed contrast in the lipoprotein membranes, but a good deal of it is due to the removal of background proteins either by dehydration agents or by volatalization under the electron beam. Tissues fixed with KMnO4 exhibit somewhat granular structure because of the deposition of large clusters of stain molecules. The gross arrangement of membranes can also be modified. Since the aim of a good fixation technique is to preserve satisfactorily the cell as a whole and not the best preservation of only a small part of it, a combination of a mixture of glutaraldehyde and acrolein to obtain general preservation and KMnO4 to enhance contrast was employed to fix plant embryos, green algae and fungi.
