Levels of Teaching (Memory, Understanding and Reflective)

11. Memory Level of Teaching (MLT)
The first level of teaching is a Memory Level of Teaching.
It is concerned with memory or the mental ability that exists in all
living beings and is considered as the lowest level of teaching.
Herbart is the main proponent of this level.
It induces the habit of rote memorization of facts and bits of
information.
Here the teaching-learning process is basically 'Stimulus-Response'(S-
R) here.
Here the evaluation system mainly includes oral, written and essay-
type examination.

12. Understanding Level of Teaching (ULT):

Thislevelisconcernedwithunderstandingsomethingi.e.,toperceivethe
meaning,grasptheideaandcomprehendthemeaning.
Morrison is the main proponent of this level.
Here, the instructor and the learner both play an active role.
Here the evaluation system includes both objective and essay-type examination.
This level of teaching is known as‘memory plus insight’,as it goes beyond just
memorizing of facts.
It focuses on the mastery of the subject.

23. Learner-centeredTeaching
When a student or a learner
is more emphasized in a
classroom than others is
known as learner-centered
teaching.
It also involves each
student's interests, abilities,
and learning styles, placing
the learning instructors for
individuals rather than for
the class.
It includes self-evaluation.

Believe in the conventional
approach where the courses are
well-structured with
pre-selected reading and
reference materials.
xMOOCS
Allow for dynamic development
of study material.
No pre-planned set of reading

Material will be developed
through online discussions and
