1. TEACHING STRATEGIES

2. Presentation Overview

3. Teaching

4. The mind is not a vessel that needs filling, but wood that needs igniting.

5. Education is not learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.

6. WHAT IS TEACHING? Cs Communication Collaboration Critical Thinking Creativity Choice Caring

7. QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE TEACHERS Interest and Explanation: Only when our interest is aroused in something, we enjoy working hard at it. Concern and respect for students and student learning: Making a subject seem more difficult than it actually is, is a masquerade. Good teaching is not making things “hard”.

8. QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE TEACHERS Appropriate assessment and feedback: Using a variety of assessment techniques avoids memorizing. Feedback is a powerful motivator. Clear goals and intellectual challenge: Setting high standards and clear goals are very motivating.

9. QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE TEACHERS Independence, control, and active engagement: Creating a sense of student control over learning and interest in the subject matter by preparing suitable tasks to their level of understanding. Learning from students: Good teaching is open to change, it needs modifications in accordance with the evidence collected.

10. Different Styles

11. Authority / Lecture style Teacher-centered Long lecture sessions One way presentations / transaction Students are expected to take notes/absorb information Certain higher education disciplines Auditorium settings with large groups Subjects like history that necessitate memorizing names, dates, etc. Little / no interaction with the teacher Little / no interaction among the learners

12. Demonstrator/coach style Formal authority role Teachers demonstrate their expertise by showing students what they need to know Variety of formats (lectures, presentations, etc.) Difficult for individual needs in large groups

13. Facilitator / activity style Promote self-learning Help develop critical thinking skills Self-actualization Ask questions and find answers by exploration Ideal for science subjects Teacher must be well prepared to guide students towards discovery rather than lecturing No testing knowledge through memorization

14. Delegator / group style Best for curriculum that requires lab activities (chemistry, biology, debate, creative writing) Teacher is an observer inspires students by working towards common goals Teacher is not a traditional authority figure

15. Hybrid/blended style Integrated approach to teaching that blends teachers’ personality and interest with students’ needs and curriculum-appropriate methods . Teachers can tailor their styles to students needs and subject matter Trying to be too many things to all students can be tiring

16. Whatever style Engage your students in the learning process Develop effective classroom management skills Impose lesson mastery Communicate high expectations clearly

17. DIFFERENT TEACHING STRATEGIES

18. LECTURE Top 1 passive method Nearly 80% Easy to communicate large chunks of information to large amount of listeners Maximizes instructor control Non-threatening to students Minimizes feedback from student Assumes unrealistic level of student understanding Detaches students from the learning process

19. CASE METHOD Classroom learning is applied to real life experiences Effective way of disseminating and integrating knowledge Students are engaged in active Discussions about issues in practical application There are variety of sources including Current events exposing the complexity of solving critical social problems

20. DISCUSSION A successful participatory teaching strategy Beginning a lesson with a discussion will refresh memories about the assignment Use discussions to generate ideas Teacher must plan carefully Student must prepare

21. ACTIVE LEARNING Students apply what they are learning They talk, listen, read, write and reflect as they approach course content through problem solving exercises Small groups Simulations Case studies Role playing Grading contributions can be problematic Teaching strategies should match the teaching objective of the particular lesson.

22. COOPERATIVE/GROUP LEARNING Encourages small groups to work together to achieve a common goal. Faculty and student involvement in the learning process is emphasized. Careful planning and preparation is mandatory Group forming Ensuring positive interdependence Maintaining individual accountability Resolving group conflict Developing appropriate assignments and rubrics Managing learning environments

23. AUTONOMOUS LEARNING

24. An autonomous learner Can access and manage information to find solutions to problems Can use experiences to make decisions Can understand his/her own learning style Can help others learn Can bring solutions to complex problems

25. How can we achieve this?
