Study Notes
Teaching Methods
- Various teaching methods include lecture, group discussion, one-to-one instruction, demonstration, return demonstration, gaming, simulation, role play, and self-instruction.
- The selection of teaching methods depends on factors specific to the teacher, including educational beliefs, classroom composition, subject matter, and school mission statement.
Instructional Materials
- Instructional materials or tools supplement the act of teaching and include audience response systems, books, printed handouts, videos, podcasts, and posters.
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Teaching Method
- Audience characteristics (size, diversity, learning style preferences)
- Educator's expertise as a teacher
- Objectives of learning
- Potential for achieving learning outcomes
- Cost-effectiveness
- Setting for teaching
- Evolving technology
Lecture
- A highly structured method where the educator verbally transmits information directly to a group of learners for the purpose of instruction.
Self-Instruction
- A teaching method where the educator provides or designs instructional activities to guide learners in achieving learning objectives independently.
- Self-instructional modules may include workbooks, study guides, workstations, videotapes, internet modules, and computer programs.
Elements of a Self-Instruction Module
- Introduction with statement of purpose and directions for use
- List of prerequisite skills
- List of behavioral objectives
- Pretest
- Resources and learning activities
- Learning activities
- Estimated total length of time to complete the module
- Different presentations for material based on objectives and resources
- Self-assessments
- Post-test
Advantages and Limitations of Self-Instruction
- Advantages: allows for self-pacing, active learning, and built-in frequent feedback
- Limitations: limited with learners who have low literacy, not appropriate for learners with visual and hearing impairments, requires high level of motivation, and may induce boredom.
Case Studies
- Encourages development of analytical and problem-solving skills, exploration of complex issues, and application of new knowledge and skills in clinical practice.
- Increases learner motivation and engagement, and helps develop reading, writing, and listening skills.
Seminars
- Interactions stimulated by posing questions by the educator.
- Designed to encourage active engagement and sharing of ideas and thoughts, providing learners with a deeper understanding of the content.
One-to-One Instruction
- Involves face-to-face delivery of information specifically designed to meet the needs of an individual learner.
- Can be formal (planned activity) or informal (unplanned interaction, such as capitalizing on a teachable moment).
- Ideally, a one-to-one teaching session should be 15 to 20 minutes in length, with information offered in small, bite-sized portions to allow time for processing.
