Answer to Question 1

Any objective that involves the development of a procedural skill, such as learning to add two-digit numbers, would be appropriate for the direct instruction model. Any objective that involves concept learning, such as students' understanding figurative language, would be appropriate for the guided discovery model. Wanting students to understand any organized body of knowledge, such as students' understanding the relationships between geography and climate in different parts of a country, would be appropriate for the lecture-discussion model. Wanting students to learn to work together would be appropriate for cooperative learning models, and these models can be effectively used with a variety of content goals.
