ACTIVITY-BASED TEACHING STRATEGIES Flashcards
ACTIVITY-BASED
TEACHING STRATEGIES:
Cooperative Learning
Simulation and Games
Case Studies
Problem-Based Learning
Self-Learning Modules
ACTIVITY-BASED TEACHING STRATEGIES Implies ____ on the part of the learner.
active learning
these strategies require the learner to do more than listen and study.
ACTIVITY-BASED TEACHING STRATEGIES
There is greater deal of research pointing to greater knowledge retention and a high level of performance. :True or false
TRUE
Is based on the premise that learners work together and are responsible for not only their own learning but for the learning of other group members
COOPERATIVE LEARNING
It involves structuring small
groups of learners who work
together toward achieving shared learning goals.
COOPERATIVE LEARNING
types of cooperative learning groups
FORMAL
GROUPS
INFORMAL
GROUPS
BASE GROUP
the purpose of cooperative learning groups in this type of group is to complete a
specific learning task
consisting of concepts or
skills
FORMAL
GROUPS
the purpose of cooperative learning groups in this type of group is to enhance
understanding of a specific unit of information;
to make connections to
prior learning
INFORMAL
GROUPS
the purpose of cooperative learning groups in this type of group is to provide
encouragement and to monitor progress throughout the learning experience
BASE GROUP
the length of existence in formal groups take:
One class to
many week
the length of existence in informal groups take:
No more than
one class and
perhaps for only
a few minutes
during a class
the length of existence in base groups take:
long
term.
Advantages of Cooperative Learning:
to function as part
of a team.
enhance social skills.
Critical thinking is
promoted.
Disadvantages of Cooperative Learning:
slow learners may lag
behind.
Learning gap may exist
Why is cooperative learning so effective?
It helps in synthesizing ideas.
Are controlled representation of reality.
Are exercises that learners engage in
to learn about the real world without
the risks of the real world.
Can be a lot of fun
SIMULATION
Purposes of Simulation
develop human interactions abilities
practice decisionmaking and problem-solving skills
learn psychomotor skills
apply principles and
theories learners
Uses of Simulation
achieve many learning objectives
venue for attitude change.
teaching of
psychomotor skills
4 Types of Simulation
Simulation Exercise
Simulation Game
Role Play
Case Study
this type of simulation helps Learners learn how to make decisions or solve problem or apply theory.
Simulation Exercise
a game that represents real-life situations in
which learners compete according to a set of
rules
Simulation Game
Simulation Games
focus on either:
content or process
learning.
an analysis of an incident or situation
Case Study
Case Study
➢ steps:
▪Develop objectives
▪Select a situations
▪Develop the characters
▪Develop the discussion questions
▪Lead the group discussion
An approach to learning that involves confronting students with real-life
problems that provide a stimulus
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL)
Is based on premise that students, working together in small groups, will analyze a case, identify their own need for information, and then solve problems
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL)
difference between PBL and case method
PBL is conducted in small groups ; have little background
knowledge of the subject matter ; brief
case studies used by individuals or groups. ; have most of the background
knowledge ; long
SELF-LEARNING MODULES is also called
Self-directed learning modules
✓Self-paced learning modules
Self learning packets
Components of Self-Learning Modules
- Introduction and instruction
- Behavioral Objectives
- Pretest
- Learning Activities
- Self-Evaluation
- Post Test
Advantages of Self-Learning Modules
learn independently and at
one’s own pace
Promote active learning
Advantages of Self-Learning Modules For Educators:
freed from having to repeat
the same materials
possible for a curriculum
to be standardized
Advantages of Self-Learning Modules
For the Staff:
reduce travel time
reduce the cost of in-service
education
Disadvantages of Self-Learning Modules
miss the
interactions
learners may be less
than honest
take many hours to design and test
