It is an act or experience that has a makes an association between a particular formative effect on the mind, character, or behavior and a consequence. physical ability of an individual. - A working definition of teaching is undertaking certain ethical tasks or activities the intention of which is to induce learning. - it is a deliberate intervention that involves planning and implementation of instructional activities and experiences to meet learner outcomes according to a teaching plan Some thoughts on teaching and learning… Clearly, not all learning is dependent on teaching...However, all teaching regardless of SOCIAL CONDITIONING quality is predicated on learning. Brown,1993 - Observational conditioning Teaching makes learning possible. - In this theory, people can learn new information Ramsden,1992 and behaviors by watching other people. LEARNING - Process of gaining knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught, or experiencing something. (Merriam Webster Dictionary) - “a persisting change in human performance or performance potential... (brought) about as a result of the learner’s interaction with the environment” (Driscoll, 1994) - “the relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behavior due to experience” STRATEGY (Mayer, 1982) - Is the art and science of directing and controlling - an enduring change in behavior, or in the the movements and activities of the army. If capacity to behave in a given fashion, which strategy is good, we can get victory over our results from practice or other forms of enemies. In teaching this term is meant those experience” ( Shuell , 1986) procedures by which objectives of teaching are realized in the class. - Teaching strategy is a generalized plan for a lesson which includes structure, instructional CLASSICAL CONDITIONING objectives, and an outline of planned tactics, - Pavlovian conditioning or respondent necessary to implement the strategies conditioning - Teaching is the generalized plan of the whole - is a reflexive or automatic type of learning in lesson plan. which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke - In strategy of teaching, realization of objectives a response that was originally evoked by another is given more importance than presentation of stimulus. lesson. - A strategy does not follow a single track all the time, but it changes according to the demands of the situations such as age, level, needs, interests, and abilities of the students. Thus, strategy is more comprehensive than method. - It is directional in nature. It refers to goal directed activities of the teachers. Thus, it is closer to science than arts. Teaching Strategies Brainstorming – is a large or small group activity that encourages students to focus on a topic and contribute to the free flow of ideas. Case studies – are effective ways to get students to practically apply their skills, and their understanding of learned facts, to a real-world PRINCIPLES AND STRATEGIES OF TEACHING IN MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE situation. They are particularly useful where Some understanding of how people learn situations are complex, and solutions are (learning theory); uncertain. Some understanding of how to facilitate learning Debates – structured way of exploring the range (qualities of the teacher such as passion, of views on an issue. It consists of a structured principles for good teaching practice such as contest of argumentation, in which two providing timely and constructive feedback, opposing individuals or teams defend and attack putting educational theory into practice). a given proposition. Discussion – Discussion lets class members work Types of Teaching Approach actively with the ideas and the concepts being (According to the role of teacher) pursued, and discussion sessions can be an The executive approach – views the teacher as extremely effective in changing behavior or manager of complex classroom processes, a attitudes.
