TEACHING
• 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 results from the learner’s interaction with the environment. (Driscoll, 1994)
• The relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behavior due to experience. (Mayer, 1982)
• An enduring change in behavior, or in the capacity to behave in a given fashion, which results from practice or other forms of experience” (Shuell 1986)
LEARNING
Learning Theories
(Pavlovian Conditioning or
Respondent Conditioning)
Classical Conditioning
Learning Theories
(Instrumental Conditioning)
Operant Conditioning
Learning Theories
(Observational Conditioning)
Social Conditioning
• A reflexive or automatic type of learning in which a stimulus acquires the capacity to evoke a response originally evoked by another stimulus.
Classical Conditioning
There are different types of stimuli and responses to this conditioning namely;
• Unconditioned Stimulus
• Unconditioned Response
• Neutral Stimulus
• Conditioned Stimulus
• Conditioned Response
The most famous example of classical conditioning
Pavlov’s experiment with dogs
Pavlov’s experiment with dogs:
Food, which naturally causes the dog to salivate.
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
Pavlov’s experiment with dogs:
Salivation in response to food.
Unconditioned Response (UR)
Pavlov’s experiment with dogs:
bell, which initially does not cause salivation.
Neutral Stimulus (NS)
Pavlov’s experiment with dogs:
The bell, after being repeatedly paired with food presentation.
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Pavlov’s experiment with dogs:
Salivation in response to the bell.
Conditioned Response (CR)
• Described as a process that attempts to modify behavior through the use of positive and negative reinforcement. Through operant conditioning, an individual makes an association between a particular behavior and a
consequence.
• May involve reinforcement or punishment.
Operant Conditioning
Operant Conditioning
Reinforcement
Adding something pleasant to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
Positive Reinforcement
Operant Conditioning
Reinforcement
Removing something unpleasant to increase the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
Negative Reinforcement
Operant Conditioning
Punishment
Adding something unpleasant to decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
Positive Punishment
Operant Conditioning
Punishment
Removing something pleasant to decrease the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
Negative Punishment
• In this theory, people can learn new information and behaviors by watching other people.
• People learn behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions through observing others (models), especially those they consider as role models.

The “HOWs” of Teaching
involves directing and controlling actions to achieve goals. In teaching, it refers to the methods and procedures used to reach educational objectives in the classroom.
Strategy
Characteristics:
• A teaching strategy includes a plan for lessons, objectives, and tactics.
• It focuses more on achieving objectives than simply delivering the lesson content.
• Strategies are flexible and adapt to students’ age, level, needs, and abilities.
• It is goal-oriented and aligns closely with scientific methods.
Strategy
- Brainstorming
- Case Studies
- Debates
- Discussion
- Flipped Classroom
- Group Work
- Questioning
