- How you may have experienced the Tyler rationale in your own schooling?
Tyler’s method has been used with me for virtually my entire academic career. Although it might not be followed as closely as it formerly was, I think it still occurs today. The math class was the main subject where this method kept coming back to me. The teacher would choose a random student and begin asking math questions, whether they included multiplying, dividing, or subtracting, etc. The student will then get up and respond to the question; we had 5–10 seconds for each response while the other students looked on.
2. What are the major limitations of the Tyler rationale/ what does it make impossible?
The Tyler Rationale prevent both teachers and students from making decisions based on how they think learning ought to happen. In their classrooms, teachers are not allowed much leeway and are not given the chance to promote alternative teaching strategies. Instead of treating instructors like educated people who are able to adapt to their students’ needs and make decisions in their students’ best interests. no voice or freedom.
3. What are some potential benefits/what is made possible?
His reasoning has certain advantages as well. His justification, for instance, aids instructors in determining the crucial purposes and aims of each course. The answers to Tyler’s questions will provide you purpose and direction whether you are starting to create curriculum or updating current ones. Tyler’s justification questions outline acceptable learning objectives, present practical learning experiences, organize them to have the most impact, and assist in evaluating the methods of instruction and revising the ineffective parts.
Hello Ayan! I really liked how you provided a personal example of how the Tyler rationale was exhibited in your math class. I think if you were to add a direct quotation from where Smith discusses the limitations or the benefits of the Tyler rationale your responses would be even better with some backing. The way you approached answering the questions was really insightful. Overall, I think you did a very good job answering the prompt for this week’s post!
