The document discusses H.C. Morrison's model of teaching at the understanding level. Morrison believed students learned best by responding to situations. His five-step instructional pattern includes exploration, presentation, assimilation, organization, and recitation. Teachers present content in small units, test understanding, and repeat as needed. Students then work independently to thoroughly learn the content before writing and presenting what they learned. The teacher guides students and evaluates their mastery through various tests. The goal is for students to develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and independent learning.
