An atmoshere which faciliates learning Encourages them to be ACTIVE Encourages OPENNESS of mind and trust in self Facilates DISCOVERY Makes people feel RESPECTED Recognises peoples right to MAKE MISTAKES Accept DIFFERENCES
WHAT STUDENTS SEEK? Clear and concise Easily audible Clarify basic principles Subject covered properly Practical appilcation
FACTORS INFLUENCING SELECTION OF T/L METHODS GROUP SIZE RESOURCES & TIME AVAILABLE DOMAIN OF OBJECTIVE LEVEL & NATURE OF LEARNING COVERAGE OF SUBJECT FEEDBACK
TEACHING LEARNING STRATEGIES TRANSMITTING:Lectures,reading materials,memory devices INSRUCTING:minilecturing,active learning,collaborative teams COACHING:mentorship,demos,role plays FACILITATE PBL or project based learning
TEACHING/LEARNING METHODS LARGE GROUP TEACHING SMALL GROUP TEACHING(group of 30 or less) INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING
T-L METHODS LARGE GROUP TEACHING INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING SMALL GROUP TEACHING LECTURES DIRECTED STUDY OF TEXTS GROUP DISCUSSIONS FILM & VIDEO PRESENTATIONS SYMPOSIUM PANEL DISCUSSION FLIPPED CLASS JIGSAW METHOD PROBLEM BASED LEARNING READING PROJECT WORK SIMULATION COUNSELLING PRACTICAL/BEDSIDE TEACHING SEMINARS TUTORIALS DEMONSTRATIONS ROLE PLAY PROJECT WORK SIMULATIONS
LARGE GROUP METHOD LECTURE Careful presentation of facts with organized thoughts and ideas by a qualified person Strive for 30% /70% split 30% lecture & 70% active discussion
AUDIOVISUAL AIDS Chalk & board White board Flip chart Transparencies on overhead projector Slide projector Powerpoint presentation Video on LCD panel Virtual reality shows
LECTURE ADVANTAGES Economical Covers the whole topic Easy to plan in time schedule Large material can be imparted DISADVANTAGES Passive way of learning Teacher centric Does not cater to learner needs
Guidelines for effective lecture Plan the presentation –Rule of 30/70 Arrange materials in sequence Teacher facing the students Good illumination Ensure clarity Emphasize key points Summarize Feedback
SYMPOSIUM Series of talks by experts on many aspects of a topic under a chairperson
SYMPOSIUM ADVANTAGES Short speeches and change of speakers maintains interest Concise presentation DISADVANTAGES Passive audience Less opportunity for speakers to interact Formal atmosphere
PANEL DISCUSSION A moderator with a team who hold an orderly and a logical conversation on a topic
PANEL ADVANTAGES Informal atmosphere Identifies and explores a problem DISADVANTAGES Skilled moderators needed
SMALL GROUP TEACHING GROUP DISCUSSION SEMINAR TUTORIAL PROBLEM BASED LEARNING ROLE PLAY SIMULATION
SEMINAR Facilitator with a group of 10 -12 well read students Presentations made by predetermined participants Further active learning occurs during the discussion
SEMINAR ADVANTAGES Authoritative guidance by an expert Indepth discussion Informal Learners are active participants DISADVANTAGES Difficulty in getting the resource person Not cost effective Requires interested motivated participants
TUTORIAL Small group of 10 -12 learners are guided by a teacher to clear doubts and improve the understanding GROUP TUTORIAL: Teacher only guides the group.More informal
TUTORIAL ADVANTAGES Ideal student teacher ratio Active learning Opportunity to correct mistakes DISADVANTAGES Prior preparation by the student is needed
GROUP DISCUSSION Face to face interaction between members of relatively small group Group leader may be needed It can be a CONTROLLED GD BUZZ GROUP FREE GROUP DISCUSSION BRAINSTORMING
GROUP DISCUSSION ADVANTAGES Democratic Learners preparedness and active participation needed Synthesis of all T/L methods( lectures,bedside teaching) DISADVANTAGES Student teacher ratio to be maintained Some may find it too slow or too fast
PROBLEM BASED LEARNING Learning emanating from a clinically based problem It uses a clinical problem to stimulate discussion & identify learning issues by the small group Facilitates SDL Relevance to clinical application is understood Knowledge,skill & attitude is learnt
ADVANTAGES OF PBL Encourages self learning Helps student to fill the gaps in knowledge Development of skills like literature search encouraged Development of social skills Interaction in small groups Increases responsibility to self & others Make effective presentation
DISADVANTAGES OF PBL Time consuming
OTHER T/L METHODS DEMONSTRATION ROLE PLAY WORKSHOP BED SIDE TEACHING STANDARDIZED PATIENTS SIMULATORS VIRTUAL REALITY
SIMULATION/SKILLS LAB A situation or environment created to experience a representation of a real event for practice,learning,evaluation and testing Done in a realistic clinical situation Patient safety ensured Repetitive practice Provides feedback
