Lipstreu, Betty Lee; Johnson, Marilyn Kay – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1988
The whole clock method of time instruction is useful for children with mild to severe developmental disabilities. It presents time telling in a sequential manner that helps students generalize about and see the continuity of time. They learn to tell hours, then each five-minute interval sequentially around the clock face. (VW)

Grob, Bernard; Rockmaker, Gordon – Technical Education News, 1977
Describes programed classroom instruction, indicating that it should be sequenced in small steps around complete concepts to elicit responses from students and provide immediate feedback. Notes that this instructional method involves students completely but requires more preparation time and training for the teacher. A sample of programed material…

Peterson, Susan K.; And Others – Learning Disabilities Research, 1988
The study compared two methods of teaching an initial place value skill: a concrete, semiconcrete, abstract teaching sequence and an abstract-only presentation. Learning-disabled elementary and middle school students (N=24) using the concrete to abstract teaching sequence performed significantly better on three posttests than students taught the…

Cox, Dennis K. – Music Educators Journal, 1985
The Suzuki talent education method, which combines sequential learning with continual review, is described. The method can be used in developing high levels of musical awareness, technical skill, and artistry in extremely young performers from very different backgrounds. How teachers of choral music might use it is discussed. (RM)

Klauer, Elizabeth; Rule, Ann – 1985
Structuring the algebra course to provide a link between a student's existing knowledge and the new topic being presented is discussed. Developing relationships among topics is suggested through examples describing a mathematical problem and effective teaching approaches. Stress is placed on teachers reflecting on mistakes pupils are likely to…

Ross, John A.; Maynes, Florence J. – Canadian Journal of Education, 1983
Instructional design strategy for improving problem solving is presented. The strategy entails selecting an appropriate domain of problem-solving tasks, learning hierarchies, teaching methods and assembling of learning materials, and designing teacher training and evaluation. Obstacles to be overcome and directions for future research are…

Cunningham, Patricia M.; Cunningham, James W. – Clearing House, 1983
Argues that sequencing is the hidden agenda in many content area classrooms. Suggests that, if students are to improve their sequencing ability, teachers must become aware of the hidden, sequencing requirements in their curricula. Describes exercises for helping students become better sequencers. (FL)

Cynthia L. Wilson; Paul T. Sindelar – Exceptional Children, 1991
This study compared the effectiveness of 3 procedures for teaching 62 elementary students with learning disabilities to identify the correct algorithm in solving addition and subtraction word problems. The group receiving strategy teaching and sequencing practice problems and the group receiving strategy teaching only scored higher than…

Wepner, Shelley B. – 1983
Flowcharting, a skill used to program computers, can be used to teach reading skills. Like programing, flowcharting requires knowledge of a particular content area and an understanding of how to process the information. Skills such as identifying the main idea and supporting details, sequencing ideas or statements, and distinguishing relevant from…
