Study Notes
Methods and Strategies in Teaching
- Objectives: Identify different teaching methods and strategies. Apply methods and strategies that meet students' emotional and psychological needs.
Learner-Centered Instructional Strategies
-
Description: Learner-centered instruction emphasizes activities that enable students to take an active role in their learning. This can include self-teaching, collaboration, reflection, and problem-solving.
-
Focus: Support student development using varied activities. Help students solve authentic problems and promote critical thinking at both the individual and group level.
Cooperative Learning
-
Description: A teaching approach where students work in groups to explore important questions or develop projects. Collaboration is a key part of the learning process.
-
Forms: This takes various forms, such as online group assignments with students from multiple schools.
KWL Charts
-
Use: KWL stands for "Know, Want to know, Learned". Students use this chart/graphic organizer as a study guide.
-
Purpose: To direct study.
Discussions
-
Description: Ongoing classroom conversation between teachers and students.
-
Purpose: Enhance student skills and abilities.
Role Play
-
Description: A learning method where textual content is presented through drama or acting.
-
Aim: To facilitate learning outcomes.
Case Studies
-
Description: An instructional method (not a theory) using assigned scenarios. Students observe, analyze, record, implement, conclude, summarize, and recommend.
-
Use: Used as analysis and discussion tools.
Jigsaw
-
Description: Active learning strategy where group members share responsibility for each other's learning.
-
Skills: This involves critical thinking and social skills.
Experiments
- Description: A method that involves designing experiments and student participation. Students actively engage in either designing experiments or taking part in experiments.
Simulations
-
Description: An animated model that mimics real-world systems like a bank, assembly line, or hospital.
-
Application: Mimics the operation of existing or proposed systems.
Laboratory
-
Description: Observations, practice, experiments, and exploration take place in a dedicated environment.
-
Participation: Can be individual or group-based.
Index Cards
-
Use: 101 potential ways to use index cards exist; teachers can ask students to develop activities using index cards, and guidelines can be established together.
-
Examples: Two truths and a lie, random name picker, vocabulary strips, or reading response activity.
Q&A Session
- Description: A learning strategy where a facilitator presents a topic. Students can ask questions and respond to each other's questions to enhance their discussion.
Active Learning Activities
-
Constructivism: Students actively learn by building upon prior knowledge, creating their own understanding, and actively participating in learning rather than passively receiving.
-
Focus Shift: Focus is moved towards student knowledge construction rather than transmission of knowledge.
-
Description (Bonwell and Eison): Active learning involves students doing things and thinking about what they are doing.
-
Description (Felder and Brent): Active learning is anything course-related requiring students to do more than just listen and take notes.
Student-Centered Learning
- Focus: The learning process centers around the various learning needs of students.
Problem-Based Learning
- Description: Students tackle problems or scenarios that involve formulating questions, evidence analysis, existing theory connection, conclusion derivation, and reflecting on the learning experience.
Cooperative Learning (reiteration)
-
General Term: A term for various small group interactive lessons.
-
Group Work: Students work together in small groups to accomplish academic tasks.
-
Positive Interdependence: Students need to depend on each other to accomplish common goals.
Cooperative Learning Enhances Learning
-
Motivation: Motivate students to learn content.
-
Knowledge Construction: Students build their own understanding.
-
Feedback: Provide formative feedback.
-
Skills: Develop social and group skills.
-
Positive Interactions: Promote positive interactions between students with varied cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.

-
Teacher Point of View: Focuses on moving students beyond general curiosity and into realms of critical thinking and understanding.
Inductive Learning
-
Description: Also known as discovery learning, a process where a learner discovers rules by observing examples, and uses personal observations and experiences to develop their own theory.
-
