Models and Strategies of Teaching

LEARNING MATERIALS
The materials for this course contain an assigned textbook and this course guide. For
this course, the assigned textbook is:
Joyce, B., Weil, M. and Calhoun, E.
(2009). Models of Teaching Boston, MA:
Allyn & Bacon.

The contents of the assigned textbook are


organised in six separate parts comprising
22 chapters. Each chapter provides details
on a number of focus areas through
narratives, scenarios and explication on
each model of teaching. For this course,
three Families of Models are covered, i.e.
Social models, Information-processing
models and Behavioral models. To help
you manage your learning, these three
families are organised under eight topics in
the Study Guide while related chapters are
listed as Assigned Readings under
respective topics.

As indicated by B. Joyce, M. Weil and E. Calhoun, the authors of the assigned


textbook, the text aims to help instructors apply contemporary ideas and theories of
teaching-learning processes in the classroom. This may be done by analysing
attributes of effective teaching in schools and colleges and by examining how
interactions between the teacher, learner and environment affect learning. For this
purpose, you would have to plan, teach and assess learning activities, as well as
evaluate your own teaching as the basis for improvement as an instructor. In order to
grow professionally, you would at all times demonstrate appropriate professional
judgment, ethics, values and practices in schools and colleges.

Ensure that you have the right textbook and read the material for understanding and
further developing your knowledge of teaching and learning. You should aim to read
the assigned chapters before going to class, and use the ideas in each chapter for
classroom discussion and online participation during the course.
