    Study Notes

    Teaching Methods and Strategies

    • Methods of Teaching are a sequence of steps to achieve a goal. They include planning, presentation, practice, and assessment.
    • Techniques of Teaching are personalized styles of executing a specific step of a method. They focus on individual learning processes, such as perceiving, deciding, acting, and feedbacking.

    Knowledge Required of a Teacher

    • Content Knowledge: Understanding learning content and translating it into meaningful forms for students.
    • Pedagogical Knowledge: Research-based connections between teaching and learning.

    Learning Theories

    • Connectionism (Thorndike): Learning is the result of a connection between a stimulus and a response.
      • Law of Multiple Response: Individuals try different responses to a new situation before finding the correct one.
      • Law of Attitude: A learner's attitude towards a task significantly impacts their performance.
    • Laws of Learning (Thorndike):
      • Law of Effect: Learning is most effective when it results in satisfaction and pleasure.
      • Law of Exercise: Repetition and practice strengthen learning.
      • Law of Analogy: Individuals apply past experiences when responding to new situations.
      • Law of Associative Shifting: Any response can be elicited through association with a previously established stimulus.

    Levels of Learning (Bloom's Taxonomy)

    • Psychomotor Domain: Understanding and performing physical skills.
      • Key Verbs: Catch, bounce, write, balance, bend, draw, explore.
      • Observable Behaviors: Discriminating visually, auditory, kinesthetically, or tactually. Coordinating multiple perceptual abilities.
    • Affective Domain: Development of values, beliefs, and attitudes.
      • Characterization by Value or Value-Set: The individual has developed a consistent and predictable value system.

    Classroom Teaching Strategies

    • Match Mine: Students try to match the arrangement of objects on a grid, using only oral communication.
    • Roundtable: Students pass around a paper and pencil, each writing one answer.
    • Webbing: Students create a diagram that represents the relationship between different ideas.

    Teaching Methods

    • Demonstration Method: Teachers or students demonstrate a process, while others observe.
    • Project Method: Learners solve a practical problem over a period of time.
    • Problem Solving Method: Employs the scientific method to search for information:
      • Define the problem.
      • Formulate a hypothesis.
      • Test the hypothesis.
      • Analyze and interpret evidence.
      • Draw conclusions.

    Guidelines for Effective Teaching

    • Declarative Knowledge (Facts, Principles, Laws):
      • Clearly explain and illustrate facts, principles, and laws.
      • Use visual aids to concretize abstract concepts.
      • Connect ideas to everyday life.
    • Teaching Skills:
      • Provide a rationale for the skill.
      • Demonstrate the skill.
      • Provide guided practice until mastery.
      • Provide extended practice and transfer opportunities.
      • Check for understanding and provide feedback.

    Principles of Learning

    • Learning is a personal process: People learn what they want to learn.
    • Learning is the discovery of meaning: It involves finding personal relevance in ideas.
    • Learning is a consequence of experience: Responsibility, independence, and sense of importance come from experience.
    • Learning is cooperative and collaborative: Cooperation fosters learning.
    • Learning is an evolutionary process: It involves stages of growth, from ignorance to understanding.
    • Learning can be painful: The process of learning involves recognizing, addressing, and correcting mistakes.
    • Learners are the richest resource: Individual experiences and perspectives are crucial for learning.
    • Intensity enhances learning: Real-life experiences and demonstrations promote retention.
    • Freedom fosters learning: Enjoyment and autonomy contribute to intellectual and moral growth.
    • Learning is emotional and intellectual: Emotions play a role in the learning process.
    • Problem-solving and learning are individual: Each learner tackles challenges in their own way.
