This document discusses various teaching strategies and methodologies. It contrasts teacher-centered versus student-centered learning and describes three main teaching styles: direct instruction, inquiry-based learning, and cooperative learning. Traditional teaching strategies like lecturing, discussion, and questioning are outlined along with activity-based strategies such as cooperative learning, simulations, and problem-based learning. Computer-assisted instructional strategies using tools like drill-and-practice, tutorials, games, and simulations are also summarized.
Teaching Styles and Strategies
- 1. TEACHING STRATEGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR TEACHING & LEARNING
- 2. Teaching Method The term Teaching method refers to the general principles, pedagogy and management strategies used for classroom instruction. Your method depends on what are your goals, your individual style and your school’s vision.
- 3. Teacher-Centered vs. Student-Centered Learning Teacher-Centered Student-Centered Teachers are the main authority figure Students are viewed as “empty vessels” End goal is testing and assessment Primary role of teachers is to pass knowledge to students Student learning is measured through objectively scored tests Teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process Teachers are coaches and facilitator of learning Student learning is measured through authentic assessments using summative and formative tools
- 4. 3 Main Teaching Styles Direct Instruction Inquiry- based learning Cooperative Learning Educational Pedagogy: 3 Teaching Styles
- 5. Direct Instruction traditional teaching strategy teachers and professors are the sole supplier of knowledge and information explicit teaching through lectures and teacher-led demonstrations effective in teaching basic and fundamental skills across all content areas.
- 6. Inquiry-based learning focuses on student investigation and hands-on learning teacher’s primary role is that of a facilitator students play an active and participatory role in their own learning process
- 7. Cooperative Learning emphasizes group work and a strong sense of community learners are placed in responsibility of their learning and development focuses on the belief that students learn best when working with and learning from their peers
- 8. Traditional Teaching Strategies Lecturing Discussion Questioning Using audio-visuals
- 9. Activity based strategies Cooperative learning Simulations Problem based learning Self-learning modules
- 10. Computer teaching strategies Computer-assisted instructions Internet Virtual reality Distance learning Interactive television Classes via internet
- 11. I. TRADITIONAL 1 Lecturing 2. Discussion 3. Questioning 4. Using Audio-visual
- 13. DISCUSSIONS
- 14. TYPES OF DISCUSSIONS 1. FORMAL DISCUSSIONS Announced topic Reading, watching movie – done in advance 2. INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS Spontaneous
- 15. PURPOSES & ADVANTAGES 1. Learns problem solving method (groups) 2. Opportunity to apply principles, concepts & theories 3. Clarifies information & concepts 4. Assists to evaluate beliefs/positions (professional, societal or ethical issues) > change in attitudes & values
- 16. DISADVANTAGES 1. Takes a lot of time 2. One person/few participants (monopolies) 3. Gathering of uninformed opinions
- 17. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUES 1. Make expectations clear. ‘Students know exactly what they have to do for discussion’ Ex. Chapter to read, watch a video 2. Set ground rules. > Limitations (e.g. time, no. of speakers, interruptions during speech)
- 18. 3. Arrange physical space. Circle sitting arrangement 4. Plan a discussion starter. Ask participants to come up with opening questions Study questions – handed out prior to meeting
- 19. 5. Facilitate, do not discuss. Refrain from talking. Watch group progress. Keep everyone engage in discussions. 6. Encourage quiet members to participate. Make eye contact and smile. Give direct, simple questions: “Mary, what do you think?”
- 20. 7. Don’t allow monopolies. Eye contact. Be blunt when needed.. “We’ve been hearing a lot fro Sarah. Now, let us hear of the rest of you think.” 8. Direct the discussion among group members. > Leaders facilitate.
- 21. 9. Keep the discussion on track. “We seem to have strayed a little fro our topic. Let’s pick up on the last topic that Lot was talking about.” 10. Clarify when confusion reigns. > Recording may help the group. Let them learn the act of clear self- expression.
- 22. 11. Tolerate some silence. Silence gives everyone a chance to think. 12. Summarize when appropriate.
- 23. II. ACTIVITY BASED TEACHING STRATEGIES 1. Cooperative learning 2. Simulations 3. Problem based learning 4. Self-learning modules
- 24. COOPERATIVE LEARNING Small groups of learners can work together toward achieving shared learning goal Learners are aware that they are responsible not only for their own learning but also for that of the others in the group.
- 25. ADVANTAGES OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING Promotes critical thinking Enhances social skill Helps address learning needs & learning styles Members learn to function as a team.
- 26. DISADVANTAGES OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING > Does not cover all content/ topics in syllabus
- 27. ROLE PLAYING Form of drama – spontaneous acting out of roles (interaction) Lasts for 3 to 5 minutes (illustrates one aspect of human relationship) Expression of non-verbal and verbal behavior, response patterns and implementation of principles
- 29. Computer Aided Instruction 1. Drill and Practice Recognition and application of information 2. Tutorials Useful teaching material at the rule/concept level Forces teachers from learning some basic material
- 30. 3. Games Game mode can teach and practice routine 4. Simulation Provides off real world experiences Provides chances to learn how to solve clinical problems
- 31. 5. Multimedia presentations may include creating MS PPT presentations, Word and EXCEL file.
