i do, we do, you do” model highlights the significance of explicit teaching.
Explanation:
I Do is the phase in which the students observe how things are made. It is demonstrative phase which allows the students to develop initial confidence and interest in learning the concept. Researching skill is evoked and encouraged in this phase. Providing examples, informing, modelling and even role playing are some techniques which are used to tap the exploring nature of the students.
We Do is the second phase in which tasks involving the whole group is given. Being a good team player is also a much required skill in the modern society and hence group tasks are given in this phase. In this phase, the student tries to learn from the peers too and finally becomes strong in acquiring the skill.
You do is the phase in which students are given practice in becoming an expert in a specific skill.
They retrieve the knowledge which they gained and acquires mastery over it. This model when followed proves to be a supportive measure for the students to gain expertise in a specific area.
