Teaching Strategies Flashcards
a generalized plan for a lesson which includes structure, instructional objectives and an outline of planned tactics, necessary to implement the strategies
Teaching Strategy
also known as instructional strategies, are the overall plan for a teaching-learning experience that involves the use of one or several methods of instruction to achieve the desired learning outcomes
Teaching strategies
Instructional strategies can (3)
- motivate students and help them focus attention
- organize information for understanding and remembering
- monitor and assess learning
Five categories of Instructional Strategies
- Direct Instruction
- Indirect Instruction
- Interactive Instruction
- Experiential Learning
- Independent Study
- highly teacher-directed
- most commonly used
- includes methods such as lecture, didactic questioning, explicit teaching, practice and drill, and demonstrations
- effective for providing information or developing step-by-step skills
- deductive
Direct Instruction
oldest and most common type of teaching technique; classified as an authoritative teaching procedure wherein teacher teaches largely through exposition either oral or written
Lecture
Most natural and practical way of imparting information; efficacy rests much on the teacher and way of delivery of new information
Lecture
Purposes of Lecture (6)
- Develops act of listening
- Develops creative thinking and reasoning
- Effective way of presenting new topic
- Helps integrate and synthesize a vast body of knowledge
- Stimulates learners’ interest
- Serves as a supplement of the textbook, classroom discussion, and student report
Advantage of Lecture Method (5)
- Economical
- Current Information from many sources
- Summary or synthesis of information
- Active listening and note-taking skills
- Inspires learners
Which advantage of lecture:
Substantial amount of information can be shared to large numbers of students
Economical
Disadvantages of Lecture Method
- Passive learner
- Attention levels of students
- Students do not learn at the same pace
- Learning by listening (disadvantage for students who have other learning styles)
- Focuses on teaching of facts (fails to promote active learning)
Attention levels of students wanes quickly after how many minutes?
15-25 minutes

Types of lecture (2)
Formal and Informal
Type of lecture that involves an uninterrupted verbal presentation by a lecturer
Formal
Type of lecture which involves conventional presentation with questions comments and brief discussions
Informal
parang pag formal dirediretso, informal pwede mainterrupt
Guiding principles in giving effective lecture (8)
next nyo nlng
- Lecture should be carefully planned
- Lecture must be started with proper motivation
- If lecture is long and difficult, outline should be presented
- If lecture involves narration or description, logical presentation should be used
- Simple language should be used in presenting the lecture
- Instructional devices or audio-visuals aids should be used to supplement the lecture
- The lecture must be concluded by a summary
- Final check -up on the students should be given by the teacher to measure effectiveness of the method used
What to do if lecture is long and difficult?
outline of materials to be covered should be presented
What to do if lecture involves narration or description?
Logical presentation should be used
Parts of a Lecture (3)

Identify the Teaching Strategy Category
- learner-driven
- includes a high level of learner involvement in observing, investigating, drawing inferences or forming hypotheses
- takes advantage of learners’ interests and curiosity and encourages learners to generate alternatives or solve problems
- Examples: problem-solving, case studies, close activities, reading for meaning, reflective discussion and concept mapping
Indirect Instruction
What are the types of indirect instruction? (4)
- Problem Solving
- Case Studies
- Reflective Discussion
- Concept Mapping
Identify type of Indirect Instruction
- can engage and motivate students to develop deeper understanding through applying ideas to real-world situations
- Advantages include: develop critical thinking skills, actively engages learners and helps teachers to gain a better understanding of the abilities of the students
- Limitations: lack of interest if problems aren’t relevant, problems are required to be well structured for specific learning outcome
Problem Solving
Identify type of Indirect Instruction
- promotes the development of analytical skills
- facilitate development of the higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive learning; moving beyond recall of knowledge to analysis, evaluation, and application
- facilitate interdisciplinary learning and can be used to highlight connections between specific academic topics and real-world societal issues and applications
- increase student motivation to participate in class activities, which promotes learning and increases performance on assessments
Case studies
Identify type of Indirect Instruction
- encourage students to think and talk about what they have observed, heard or read
- teacher or student initiates the discussion by asking a question that requires students to reflect upon and interpret
- questions posed should encourage students to relate story content to life experiences
Reflective Discussion
Identify type of Indirect Instruction
- Uses questions to stimulate reflection and extend comprehension
- Challenge students’ thinking by inviting them to interpret, infer, summarize, form conclusions, and evaluate selections
- extend personal responses by considering the views of others
- share personal thoughts, feelings and images evoked by selections, films, illustrations, and experiences
Reflective Discussion
Identify type of Indirect Instruction
- establishes a bridge between how people learn knowledge and sensible learning
- useful in enhancing meaningful learning and students’ conceptual understanding
- represented in a hierarchical manner; the most general are positioned in the superior part of the map, while the specific, less general ones are positioned in the lower part of the map.
- powerful for the facilitation of meaningful learning is that it serves as a kind of template or scaffold to help to organize knowledge and to structure it
Concept Mapping
Type of instructional strategy that relies heavily on discussion and sharing; helps develop social skills and the ability to organize thoughts and develop rational arguments; requires observation, listening, interpersonal and intervention skills
Interactive Instruction
