    Study Notes

    Tools and Methods of Teaching (NURP 4405)

    • Teaching is a process, not just a transmission of information
    • Good teaching emphasizes understanding and application, not just rote memorization.
    • Teaching is a business, with profits coming from students, parents, community and the teacher themselves. Time equals money. Teachers who don't recognize this waste teaching time.
    • There's a need for teachers to understand teaching as a whole, not just blaming students for learning difficulties.
    • A teacher is an expert imparting knowledge, enabling students to build skills to solve life's challenges. (Senge, 2000). Effective teachers use available resources and opportunities.
    • Teaching is when a more experienced individual helps a less experienced one gain knowledge and skills
    • Teaching is both an art and a science
    • Teaching as an art is about unique skills, verbal/non-verbal communication and materials presented to connect with pupils.
    • Teaching as a science is about tested theories, approaches that enable predictions and control of learners’ behaviour.
    • Modern educators find value in both artistic and scientific principles to create effective teaching methods. Teaching is a complex process that involves planning, organizing and facilitating learning (UNESCO, 2015).
    • A good teacher has strong leadership, communication, and listening skills, deep subject knowledge/passion, caring relationships with students, approachability, excellent preparation/organization, work ethic, and community-building skills. High expectations are valued.
    • Teaching and learning together achieve educational goals through stimulating, directing, guiding learners and evaluating their progress. Teachers control learning, but are ultimate authorities and directors of learning.
    • Learning is a significant change, developed intentionally. Attending lessons or reading materials are deliberate acts of learning.
    • Teaching and learning proceed through planning, implementation, and evaluation.
    • The planning phase involves determining learner needs, goals, content, motivation, and effective teaching strategies
    • When planning, teacher must consider the learner, resources available, timeline constraints and their own strategy for achieving goals
    •   Implementation involves putting planned activities into action, utilising teaching styles such as lecture, discussion, role-playing, and peer teaching. Lesson introduction and explanation are key components, utilizing materials, varying the stimulus and utilizing questioning techniques to connect with students.
    • Questioning is a tool to gauge student understanding, and managing those responses with expertise is critical to engage and educate students—encouraging them to actively participate with the use of questions and answers. Positive reinforcement and explanations of wrong answers are part of this practice.
    • Achieving closure is essential to connect lesson to student's existing knowledge and motivate them to use new knowledge.
    • The assessment phase is where teachers measure learning outcomes to meet objectives, identifying, motivating, and guiding learners and providing information for other stakeholders
    • Assessment provides information about learners’ progress, allowing teachers to identify areas for improvement. This informs the development of their teaching practices.
    • Conducive learning environments satisfy learner needs and promote free communication, adequate classroom management, and interaction, acclimation of innovation and participatory learners. Avoiding unhealthy competition between learners is also critical.
    • Instructional objectives provide a framework for teaching by articulating intended learning outcomes and goals for students as well as directing content toward goals (Bloom, 1956). The objectives are meant to demonstrate a change in the student’s behaviour.
    • Well-structured objectives are clear, concise, specific, measurable, behaviourally oriented, and achievable.
    • Categorizing instructional objectives into domains (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective) aids in a comprehensive understanding of the learning process.
    • Bloom's Taxonomy (1956) categorises six levels of cognitive skills—knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation. Each level represents increasing levels of complexity in thinking and learning.
