- Reciprocal teaching is a technique where learners are given independent time to pursue the material and then discuss what they have learnt. It puts the onus on the learners and emphasises comprehension. - Four roles in reciprocal teaching - predictor, clarifier, questioner and summariser. - Reciprocal teaching was first used to overcome low attention spans since it creates an interactive environment to engage the learner. - Active learning rather than passive learning through reciprocal teaching. Creates a sense of ownership in the learning process. - Reciprocal teaching is not something that has been widely studied in recent years and the recent research has mostly been on enhancing critical thinking skills on Science subjects. - In all the studies academic achievement improved with reciprocal teaching. The method can be used from elementary school to university level. - Metacognition is one of the main benefits of reciprocal teaching. The ability to critically evaluate one's own understanding and learning is very valuable. - Recommended that Reciprocal teaching be used in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics since it works well where higher thinking skills and meta cognition skills are of higher value. | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Mafarja, Nofouz, Mimi Mohaffyza Mohamad, Hutkemri Zulnaidi, and Hidayah Mohd Fadzil.
