TYPES OF TEACHING

APPROACHES/METHODS/
STRATEGIES
 DIRECT/TEACHER CENTERED
APPROACH
• Teacher-centered/controlled
• Teachers transmit information directly to
the learner
• Consider learners as blank slate
• Banking concept
 DIRECT/TEACHER CENTERED
APPROACH
• Deductive method – general to specific
• Demonstration/showing method –
learning by observation and imitation
• Lecture method –a teaching procedure
for clarifying or explaining a major idea
 INDIRECT/LEARNER-CENTERED
APPROACH
• Concept development method - subject
matter is taught to enable pupils to
develop concept. This method involves
HOTS like listing, grouping, labelling,
regrouping and synthesizing.
 INDIRECT/LEARNER-CENTERED
APPROACH
• Discovery method – students undergo the
process of observation, comparison and
abstraction, generalization and
abstraction. It means keeping them use
ideas already acquired as a means of
discovering new ideas
 INDIRECT/LEARNER-CENTERED
APPROACH
• Inductive method– this would help pupils
to discover important rules or truth for
themselves through careful observations
of specific cases leading to a
generaliation
 INDIRECT/LEARNER-CENTERED
APPROACH
• Laboratory method– apparatus and
materials are used to discover or verify
facts and to study scientific relationship.
Activities range from observation to
investigation, which provides learners first
hand experience
 INDIRECT/LEARNER-CENTERED
APPROACH
• Problem Solving method– this make use of
a problem which make pupils work
toward its solution. Essential to this are
statements of the problem, hypothesis,
evaluation, and verification of solution.
 INDIRECT/LEARNER-CENTERED
APPROACH
• Project method– this method is
characterized by learners planning,
directing and executing activities which
are purposeful, natural, lifelike and
significant. Projects are classified as
physical or material projects or intellectual
projects.
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Brainstorming– is a process of generating
creative ideas and solutions through
intensive group discussions
• Constructivist teaching – believes that
learning occurs as learners are actively
involved in a process of knowledge
construction
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Cooperative learning – a successful
teaching strategy in which small teams,
each with students of different levels of
ability, use a variety of learning activities
to improve their understanding. Each
member of a team is responsible in
helping teammates to learn, thus creating
an atmosphere of achievement.
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Distance learning– a mode of delivering
education and teaching, often on an
individual basis, to students who are not
physically present in a traditional setting. It
provides access to learning when the
source of information and the learners are
separated by time and distance.
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Dale’s Cone of Experience– a pictorial
device that presents bands of experience
arranged according to degree of
abstraction
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
People generally Verbal
remember: Visual
10% of what the read
Recording, radio
20% of what they hear
30% of what they see
Still pictures, motion pictures
50% of what they hear and
see Educational TV
70% of what they say and Exhibits
do Study trips
90% of what they do Demonstrations

Dramatized experience
Contrived experience
Direct, purposeful experience
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Field trip – it occurs outside the classroom
and offers an opportunity to get exposure
to real people and events and the
opportunity to make connection with
others
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Metacognitive teaching– thinking about
thinking. Teachers guide learners to
become more strategic thinkers by
helping them understand the way they
are processing information. It can be
done using self-monitoring and self-
evaluation
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Multiple intelligences– develop by
Howard Gardner. Thinking and learning
skills vary widely fro child to child
• Panel discussion – this consists of a group
of three to six persons having a purposeful
conversation on an assigned topic.
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Peer tutoring– students help one another on a
one-on-one basis or in a small groups in a
variety of situations
• Problem-based learning– challenges students
to learn through engagement in a real
problem. Learning takes place within the
context of authentic task, issues, and
problems.
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Reflective teaching– is response to past
experience and involves conscious recall
and examination of the experience
• Role playing– involves a spontaneous
portrayal of a situation that is similar to
real life
 OTHER MODELS/TEACHING
STRATEGIES
• Small group discussion– it can provide
interesting challenges, permit students to
progress at their own pace, and encourage
them to contribute to class activities
• Socratic method– to ask series of questions
• Symposium – a formal activity where two to
five persons talk or discuss a topic, especially
an academic or social problem before an
audience.
