Using effective teaching techniques
- 1. Using Effective Teaching Techniques Or, some more tools for your teaching toolbox
- 2. Objectives Define EFFECTIVE teaching List, explain, and give examples of effective teaching skills Demonstrate effective teaching skills in actual teaching
- 3. Everything has led up to this. Program planning leads to a curriculum Curriculum planning leads to teaching calendar Teaching calendar leads to lessons Lesson planning leads to methods We use teaching skills to implement the methods
- 4. What is effective teaching? From perspective of PRODUCT: How much the students learn. Difficult to measure. Results may not be known for years. Results flavored by student ability.
- 5. What is effective teaching? From perspective of PROCESS: Use of good procedures. Directly observable Results immediately visible Results may be flavored by available resources
- 6. Effective Teaching Defined “ Patterns of classroom interactions that consistently produce desirable student outcomes in the form of higher test scores, increased problem solving skills, improved attitude toward subject, etc….” Borich. (1988). Effective Teaching Methods
- 7. Measuring Effective Teaching Standardized test scores measured later and affected by all teachers Accomplishment of SOLs measured later and affected by all teachers Teacher-made tests unreliable, biased
- 8. Surrogate for Direct Measurement Research tells us that Time on Task has closest relationship to achievement Time on task = time students are working on appropriate, intended learning activities
- 9. Estimating Teaching Effectiveness Degree to which: Task relates to curriculum Students are paying attention Students are following directions Students are working on assigned task
- 10. Effective Teachers Exhibit: Clarity Variety Task Orientation Engagement Moderate-High Success Rate
- 11. Effective teachers Use: Student Ideas Structuring Questioning Probing Enthusiasm
- 12. Four Major Effective Teacher Skills Stimulus Variation Repetition Reinforcement Examples and Non-Examples
- 13. Stimulus Variation Kinesic Variation Focusing Shifting Interaction Pausing Shifting Senses
- 14. Kinesic Variation Teacher Movement Volume Variation Get into Space Move Behind
- 15. Focusing Verbal This is Important, Write This Down, This Will be on the Test Gestural Point, bang on desk, point, gesture Verbal-Gestural Point and “look at this!”
- 16. Shifting Interaction Teacher to Student Student to Teacher Student to Student Teacher to Student to Teacher to Student
- 17. Pausing Alert Students to Change Promotes Thinking Emphasize Key Point Break Monotony Regain Control
- 18. Shifting Senses Hearing Seeing Smelling Feeling Tasting
- 19. Types of Stimulus Variation Kinesic Variation Focusing Shifting Interaction Pausing Shifting Senses
- 20. Repetition -- Why Increase Level of Learning Prolong Retention Repetitions/Time Degree of Learning/ Retention Ability to Recall
- 21. Repetition -- How Restating another way Providing examples/non-examples to illustrate Partial Reviews Massed Reviews Re-use skills in subsequent learning Practice, Practice, Practice
- 22. Reinforcement Positive Reinforcement praise grades feedback knowledge of results Negative Reinforcement constructive suggests solutions, improvements
- 23. Examples & Non-Examples Why? Teacher Experiences Student Experiences Literature “Made up”
- 24. Can We Talk? What is Effective Teaching? What is Time on Task Why is Time on Task used as a Surrogate for Effectiveness?
- 25. More Review What Are Four Major Teaching Skills? Why do we use Repetition? Why is Reinforcement so Important? What are Examples? What are Non-Examples?
- 26. What is an Example of: Kinesic Variation Focusing Shifting Interaction Pausing Shifting Senses
- 27. So What? Program planning leads to a curriculum Curriculum planning leads to teaching calendar Teaching calendar leads to lessons Lesson planning leads to methods We use teaching skills to implement the methods
