Visual structures
Together with the deep structures, visual structures describe the two superordinate levels of lessons and try to describe and analyze lessons on the basis of four subordinate levels.
term
The term visual structures includes all teaching features that are easily visible to outsiders in a relatively short time through observation. This relates to three levels: the “organizational forms”, the “teaching methods” and the “social forms”.
Organizational forms
The organizational forms comprise the first level of the visual structures and describe the structural framework conditions of lessons . At this level it is decided, among other things, whether it is a regular lesson or remedial lesson and / or whether the lesson is held, for example, according to learning or ability groups.
Teaching methods
When it comes to teaching methods or “instruction models”, one speaks of the form of lesson planning and lesson organization. This is the second level of the visual structures. Examples of this are open teaching, project work, frontal teaching and many more.
Social forms
The third level of the visual structures are the social forms, also known as “teaching elements”. This is about the formal structure of social interactions, i.e. what happens between people within the classroom. Social forms are often part of teaching methods e.g. B. partner work, group work, etc.
