Teens Teaching Theories and Instructional Methods
TARGET: TEENS TEACHING THEORIES and INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS
Philosophical Foundations for Providing Instruction
In targeting the teen population for provision of education relating to substance abuse the most likely philosophical base will be a combination of empiricism and pragmatism. Adolescents "will learn by empiricism and will subsequently make healthy behavioral choices." (Stanhope & Lancaster, nd) Empiricism is stated to be the "objective and systematic method used for observation of and collection of information. Interpretivism defines the process of the "use of reason and perception to structure and gain information" and that the knowledge is then "constructed so that it has personal meaning for the targeted audience." (Ibid) Interprevtivism will assist teens in understanding their personal view about substance abuse and to then to consider in a logical manner the weight of their choices.
Combination of Learning Theories
The critical and social learning theories are applicable in this case because first in the critical theory the depth of knowledge is increased and accompanied by a dialogue that is ongoing. The social learning theory will be effective where expectations and beliefs need to be changed and the information needs to be linked with the beliefs and values of the individual.
III. Instructional Format
The instruction in this instance to teenagers concerning substance abuse would likely be presented first in an informative way such as a slide show or short talk about the facts associated with substance abuse. It would be highly effective to have someone the same age as the teens who has had a problem with substance abuse to come into the classroom and talk with the teens about the 'real-life' experience of substance abuse. According to the work reviewed a small informal group would be the optimal learning environment for teens being instructed concerning substance abuse. Furthermore, the 'Interpersonal Realm' will be fertile learning ground in this instance in that it is a "therapeutic, supportive" environment that is "conducive to providing quality educational interaction" with the learners contributing through their interest and responsiveness to the subject in the group interactions.

Target: Teens (Teaching Theories & Instructional Methods)
With the conceptual tools offered by psychology, we now can, for instance, more readily investigate the effects of mistreatment on children's development. My concern regarding the general disharmony of the relationship between adult and child stems from the awareness that we adults have the inclination to view the child as grossly inadequate. In our misguided efforts to help them, we downplay the significance of what the children themselves find applicable
Multicultural education researchers and educators agree that preservice teachers' attitudes, beliefs, and understandings are important: foci in multicultural education coursework (Cochran-Smith, 1995; Grant & Secada, 1990; McDiarmid & Price, 1993; Pohan, 1996). Teacher attitudes and beliefs influence teaching behaviors, which affect student learning and behavior (Wiest, 1998)." 1996 study used 492 pre-service teachers to try and gauge the attitudes and beliefs among the group when it came to understanding diversity and
