The ‘knowledge turn’ in curriculum and instruction
The lesson is a simple one ...[what] matters ] [is that ] a child gradually gains a critical mass of enabling knowledge over thirteen years of schooling. ... The best-intentioned reform efforts will not succeed—cannot succeed—without a commitment to ensuring that all children receive such enabling knowledge from the first days of school.
(E D Hirsch, 2011)
The children, grouped on the basis of ability, are seated in a semi-circle with one or two rows, without desks facing the teacher. The teacher has a projector, to present stimuli to the learners. The teacher periodically refers to a script that contains carefully sequenced instruction. Having prepared lessons frees the teacher to focus on motivational and extra-instructional features of the learning environment.
(Engelmann 1992)
The pace is very fast. In the early stages of a lesson the learners respond as a group in unison at the signal of the teacher. Periodically the teacher will ask individual students to respond, especially if the teacher suspects that the learner is having a problem. Overall, the learners have a rate of 10 to 14 responses per minute
