  1. Teaching Methods:Discussion Questions • Is teaching an art? • Is teaching a science? • Is teaching a calling? • Is teaching technology important? • As important as math and science? • How does (will) your view of teaching shape how you teach?

  2. Teaching Methods 3 Methods Direct Teaching—teacher centered, skill-building, instructional model with the teacher being a major information provider Integrated Teaching—teacher and students blend telling, showing, and self-exploration into a meaningful and intrinsically motivational approach Indirect Teaching—less teacher-directed, more time-consuming approaches that develop students’ ability to think critically and perform independent inquiry

  3. Teaching Methods Direct Teaching Exposition Teaching (Lecture) Strengths: considered the best way to communicate large amounts of information; excellent method for presenting background information; can effectively wrap up a unit, an activity, or lesson; time-efficient Weaknesses: passive learning; low student involvement; not good for developing problem solving, thinking, or creativity skills; lectures are often boring and do not motivate; may lead to discipline problems

  4. Planning Formula 1. Tell students what you are going to tell them. 2. Tell them. 3. Tell them what you have told them. Lectures should be: Well crafted to be clear and persuasive. Designed to gain and maintain student attention, instill motivation, and accomplish lesson objectives. Short (20 minutes or less). Incorporated with other teaching methods and activities. Teaching Methods Direct Teaching Lectures

  5. Teaching Methods Direct Teaching Exposition with Interaction Questioning Techniques Redirecting—draw students into a discussion by asking them to respond to a question in light of a previous response from another student. Wait-Time—provide time for students to think and ponder their responses. Halting Time—when presenting complex material, the teacher needs to halt and give students time to think. Reinforcement—provide genuine positive reactions.

  6. Teaching Methods Integrated Teaching Methods • The Demonstration Method • Cooperative Learning -Peer Tutoring -Student Teams Achievement Division -Group Investigation -Jigsaw Strategy • Simulations and Games • Individualized Strategies -Individualized Instruction -Independent Study -Mastery Learning • Drill and Practice

  7. Teaching Methods Indirect Teaching Methods • The Discussion Method -Whole-Class -Small-Group -Brainstorming -Buzz Groups -Task Groups -Panels • Heuristic (trial and error)Methods -Discovery Learning -Inquiry Learning -Systematic Problem Solving

  8. Teaching Methods Choosing the Appropriate Teaching Method: • What are the students’ needs? • What age are the students? • What are the students’ intellectual abilities? • What are the students’ physical and mental characteristics? • What are the students’ attention spans? • What is the lesson purpose? • What content is to be taught?
