The Scope of Curriculum:
Teaching Methods
by:
Annaliza T. Cempron
Teaching Methods The term Teaching method refers to the
general principles, pedagogy and
management strategies used for classroom
instruction. Your choice of teaching method
depends on what fits you — your educational
philosophy, classroom demographic, subject
area(s) and school mission statement.
Teaching theories primarily fall into two
categories or “approaches” — teacher-
centered and student-centered:
Teacher-Centered
Approach to Learning Teachers are the main authority figure in
this model. Students are viewed as “empty
vessels” whose primary role is to passively
receive information (via lectures and direct
instruction) with an end goal of testing and
assessment. It is the primary role of teachers
to pass knowledge and information onto their
students. In this model, teaching and
assessment are viewed as two separate
entities. Student learning is measured through
objectively scored tests and assessments.
Student-Centered
Approach to Learning While teachers are authority figures in
this model, teachers and students play anequally active role in the learning process. Theteacher’s primary role is to coach andfacilitate student learning and overallcomprehension of material. Student learningis measured through both formal and informalforms of assessment, including groupprojects, student portfolios, and classparticipation. Teaching and assessment areconnected; student learning is continuouslymeasured during teacher instruction.
Three main teaching styles in
educational pedagogy:
1) direct instruction,
2) inquiry-based learning and
3) cooperative learning
• Direct instruction is the general term that refers to the traditional
teaching strategy that relies on explicit teaching throughlectures and teacher-led demonstrations. Direct instructionis the primary teaching strategy under the teacher-centeredapproach, in that teachers and professors are the solesupplier of knowledge and information. Direct instruction iseffective in teaching basic and fundamental skills across allcontent areas.
• Inquiry-based learning
is a teaching method that focuses on student
investigation and hands-on learning. In this method, the
teacher’s primary role is that of a facilitator, providing
guidance and support for students through the learning
process. Inquiry-based learning falls under the student-
centered approach, in that students play an active and
participatory role in their own learning process.
• Cooperative learning
refers to a method of teaching and classroommanagement that emphasizes group work and a strongsense of community. This model fosters students’ academicand social growth and includes teaching techniques suchas “Think-Pair-Share” and reciprocal teaching. Cooperativelearning falls under the student-centered approach becauselearners are placed in responsibility of their learning anddevelopment. This method focuses on the belief thatstudents learn best when working with and learning fromtheir peers.
In order to identify your personal teaching style, it
is important to acknowledge your personal values toward
education and how your students learn. Understanding
your teaching style early on will prove effective for both
you and your students, creating and maintaining a balance
between your teaching preferences and your students’
learning preferences.
Remember :
Whatever method theteacher utilizes toimplement the curriculum,there will be some guidefor the selection and use.
Remember :
Whatever method theteacher utilizes toimplement the curriculum,there will be some guidefor the selection and use.
Here are some of them:
1. Teaching methods are means to achieve the
end. They are used to translate the
objectives into action.
2. There is no single best teaching method. Its
effectiveness will depend on the learning
objectives, the learners and skill of the teacher.
3. Teaching methods should stimulate the
learners’ desire to develop the cognitive,
affective, psychomotor, social and spiritual
domain of the individual.
4. In the choice of the teaching methods,
learning styles of the students should be
considered.
5. Every method should lead to the
development of the learning outcomes in the
three domains: cognitive, affective and
psychomotor.
6. Flexibility should be a consideration in the
use of the teaching methods.
Thank You!!!
