    Study Notes

    Teaching Methodology

    • Teaching methodology is the methods used to help learners interact with content of the learning process. These methods aid learners in reaching desired learning goals.
    • Teaching methods use visual, oral, etc. methods
    • Education is a systematic, sequential, planned process. It's a cycle of teaching and learning. It involves two people: the teacher and the learner.
    • Teaching is an intervention involving planning and implementation of instructional activities. It meets intended learner outcomes based on a teaching plan.
    • Learning is the process of changing behavior (knowledge, skills, attitudes). It can occur at any time, in any place, consciously or unconsciously.
    • Education is a systematic process—sequential and planned. It comprises teaching and learning, forming a cycle. This involves two interdependent people, the teacher and the learner.

    Events of Instruction

    • To educate effectively, teachers need to understand instruction's basic sequence—nine steps to instruct others. This aims at teaching students so they get the maximum knowledge through the instruction.
      1. Gain attention: Before anything can be learned, the educator must gain the learner's attention.
      1. Inform learners of the objectives; Learners need expectations of what they will learn.
      1. Stimulate recall of prior learning; Link new knowledge to existing knowledge.
      1. Present the stimulus; Present information clearly and organized to suit the learner.
      1. Provide learning guidance; Guidance helps the learner recall the information.
      1. Learners demonstrate; Learners need to demonstrate what they have learned.

    Domains of Learning

    • Cognitive: Describes the knowledge to be acquired.
    • Affective: Describes attitudes, feelings, and dispositions learners develop.
    • Psychomotor: Deals with manipulative and motor skills to be learned.

    Teaching Methodology

    • Methods involve learner interaction with teaching content. This leads to desired learning goals, done through various methods such as visual and oral.

    Types of Teaching Methodology

    • Lecture
    • Case study
    • Cooperative learning
    • Demonstration
    • Games
    • Imagery
    • Portfolio
    • Role play
    • Self-learning module
    • Seminars
    • Simulation

    Lecture

    • A speech to a large group of learners.
    • Used to clarify complex, confusing or conflicting concepts.
    • Provides information not available to the students.
    • Used for changing pace or strategies.
    • Skills required in presenting the lecture include: verbal skills, non-verbal communication skills, and questioning skills. It also includes motivational purposes (developing learner interest and motivation, focusing on lecture specifics, providing stimulus change during the lecture)
    • Planning the lecture includes factors such as: learning objectives for the lecture, content, arrangement (from simple to complex and basic to advanced), and presentation method (problem based, interactive, etc.).
    • Advantages of lecture: save time for teachers, cover large numbers of students, presence of a teacher is reassuring, clarify difficult concepts
    • Disadvantages of lecture: student is passive, doesn't improve problem-solving learning, doesn't allow for individual pace, lacking in checking learner progress

    Case Study

    • Analysis of a real or simulated life situation to illustrate class content and theory.
    • Advantages: Stimulates critical thinking, improves retention and recall, practices problem-solving. Supports prior experience and validates thinking.
    • Disadvantages: More effective when used with complex situations that require problem-solving. Time-consuming, necessitates good questioning skills, and can be challenging to develop case studies.

    Cooperative Learning

    • Team of learners working on assignments, assuming responsibility for group outcomes.

    • Disadvantages: Number of students is limited and keeps students in a passive situation.

    Games

    • An activity governed by rules, involving chance or varying degrees of luck.
    • Advantages: Increases cognitive and affective learning, improves retention, exciting, increases learner involvement and attention
    • Disadvantages: Time-consuming, difficult to evaluate the level of learning if several students participate, instructions may not be controlled entirely by the instructor.

    Role Play

    • A creative teaching strategy allowing learners to learn new behaviors and problem-solve.
    • Goals: Interaction with different people in various situations, experience situations from multiple perspectives.
    • Often useful for clients with mental health problems.
    • Application of role-playing: Select the problem, define the problem and objectives, find role models, set the time limit, introduce situation, thank participants, discuss & analyze main points, and evaluate any mistakes.
    • Advantages: Increases observation skills, provides immediate feedback on interpersonal and problem-solving skills, active participation. Connects to real life.
    • Disadvantages: Time-consuming; players may not play their role well; group may be uncontrollable

    Portfolio

    • Documentation of student skills from courses or life experiences
