Teaching methodology/Teaching Methods

Teaching Methods

SPECIFIC TEACHING METHODS

We can now consider a number of specific methods which can be drawn from in the course of classroom instruction. It is however, important to note that the choice of any form of methods should not be arbitrary, but needs to be governed by the criteria we have already examined. At the same time each method is not fool-proof, but has its own advantages and disadvantages. That is why I would recommend the use of complementary methods rather than one method.

1. LECTURE METHOD

A lecture is an oral presentation of information by the instructor. It is the method of relaying factual information which includes principles, concepts, ideas and all THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE about a given topic. In a lecture the instructor tells, explains, describes or relates whatever information the trainees are required to learn through listening and understanding. It is therefore teacher-centred. The instructor is very active, doing all the talking. Trainees on the other hand are very inactive, doing all the listening. Despite the popularity of lectures, the lack of active involvement of trainees limits its usefulness as a method of instruction.

QUALITIES OF A GOOD LECTURE

1. A good lecture should not be too long as to exceed the trainees attention span (up to 25 minutes).
2. A good lecture should address a single theme.
3. In a good lecture technical terms are carefully explained.
4. Familiar examples and analogies are given.
5. A good lecture establishes fluency in technical content.
6. A good lecture uses illustrations and examples.
7. A good lecture builds on existing knowledge.
8. A good lecture employs a variety of approaches.

2. THE DISCUSSION METHOD

Discussion involves two-way communication between participants. In the classroom situation an instructor and trainees all participate in discussion. During discussion, the instructor spends some time listening while the trainees spend sometimes talking. The discussion is, therefore, a more active learning experience for the trainees than the lecture.

A discussion is the means by which people share experiences, ideas and attitudes. As it helps to foster trainees involvement in what they are learning, it may contribute to desired attitudinal changes. Discussion may be used in the classroom for the purpose of lesson development, making trainees apply what they have learnt or to monitor trainees learning by way of feedback.

3. THE DEMONSTRATION LESSON

“The most effective way to teach an occupational skill is to demonstrate it... one of the two most essential teaching skills is the ability to demonstrate; the other is the ability to explain. Both are vital to the success of either an operation lesson or an information lesson”. Weaver and Cencil in APPLIED TEACHING TECHNIQUES.

DEFINITION

Demonstration means any planned performance of an occupation skill, scientific principle or experiment.

TEACHER PREPARATION

1. Rehearse your presentation in advance of the lesson.

2. Anticipate any difficult steps, possible interruptions e.t.c.

3. Obtain all materials, tools, equipment, visual and teaching aids in advance and check their useful condition.

4. Have all materials within reach and conveniently arranged.

5. Time the demonstration NOT to exceed 15 minutes.

6. Remove all extraneous materials; check lighting, visibility, student grouping, and proximity to electric, gas and water outlets.

7. Plan to use a skill or method to advantage; work from simple to complex, one step at a time.

Precautions

1. Make sure all students can see and hear the lesson.

2. Be enthusiastic, professional, effective but not dramatic.

3. Relax; use any mishaps or humour to YOUR advantage.

4. Observe all safety rules and procedures.

5. Keep eye-contact with the class; ask and encourage class questions.

6. Explain WHY and HOW: use the techniques of SHOW and TELL.

7. Use a medial summary to strengthen your explanation.

4. BUZZ GROUPS

Another method of instruction is the buzz group. During a longer session, the plenary group can break into sub-groups to discuss one or two specific questions or issues. The room soon fills with noise as each sub-group ‘buzzes’ in discussion. If appropriate, after the discussion one member of each group can report its findings back to the plenary. Buzz groups can be in pairs, trios, or more depending on the activity. People turn to their neighbours for a quick buzz, or form larger groups of three or more. This allows almost every one to express an opinion. While they are buzzing, participants are able to exchange ideas and draw on their wide collective experience. It may provide a good opportunity for trainees to reflect on the content of a lecture. A good buzz session will generate many ideas, comments and opinion, the most important of which will be reported back.

5. BRAINSTORMING

The purpose of a brainstorming session is to discover new ideas and responses very quickly. It is particularly a good way of getting bright ideas. It differs from the buzz groups discussion in that the focus is on generating as many ideas as possible without judging them. In this technique, all ideas are given equal credence.

Participants are encouraged to let ideas flow freely, building on and improving from previous ideas. No idea, however crazy, should be rejected. These ideas are listed exactly as they are expressed on a board or flipchart, or written on bits of paper. The combination of swiftly generated ideas usually leads to a very animated and energising session. Even the more reserved participants should feel bold enough to contribute. The purpose of listing responses is to collect existing experiences and thoughts.

It is useful to collect answers to questions when you expect much repetition in the responses.

After a brainstorm session, the ideas can be discussed further and evaluated, for example listing the best options in a systematic way. Ideas can be grouped and analysed so that they belong to the group rather then individuals. Unlike a buzz session, a brainstorm session can work well with a large group and usually takes less time. It is best to limit the time for plenary brainstorms, as you might lose the attention of some participants.

6. ROLE PLAYS

In role plays, participants use their own experiences to play a real life situation. When done well, role plays increase the participants self-confidence, give them the opportunity to understand or even feel empathy for other people’s viewpoints or roles, and usually end with practical answers, solutions or guidelines.

Role plays are useful for exploring and improving interviewing techniques and examining the complexities and potential conflicts of group meetings. They help participants to consolidate different lessons in one setting and are good energisers.

However, role plays can be time-consuming and their success depends on the willingness of participants to take active part. Some trainees may feel a role play is too exposing, threatening or embarrassing. This reluctance may be overcome at the outset by careful explanation of the objectives and the outcome. Some role plays can generate strong emotions amongst the participants. It is therefore essential that a role play is followed by a thorough debriefing. This provides the opportunity for the trainer and the participants to raise and assess new issues.

लखनऊ, 26 मई, 2012 (जासं): सीवर लाइन बिछाने के लिए छह माह पहले खोदी गई सड़क के गड्ढे न भरे जाने से नाराज निलमथा के सैकड़ों निवासियों ने शनिवार की सुबह जमकर प्रदर्शन किया। स्थानीय व्यापारियों की मदद से प्रदर्शन कर रहे नागरिकों ने रास्ता भी जाम कर दिया। कैंट थाना पुलिस के पहुंचने पर मामला शांत हुआ।
निलमथा बाजार में जल निगम के ठेकेदार ताराचंद्र यादव ने छह माह पहले सीवर डाला था। इस दौरान करीब छह सौ मीटर सड़क खोदी गई थी। इस मुख्य सड़क से निलमथा, विजयनगर, मलाख, सेवई और दूर दराज के गांवों के लोग रोजाना लखनऊ की ओर आते हैं। स्थानीय लोगों का आरोप है कि सड़क पर दो से तीन फीट तक के गड्ढों के कारण आपात स्थिति में मरीजों और गर्भवती महिलाओं को अस्पताल ले जाना जोखिम भरा होता है। जरा सी बारिश होने पर क्षेत्र जलमग्न हो जाता है। यहां हर गुरुवार और रविवार को साप्ताहिक बाजार में दूर-दूर से लोग अनाज खरीदने आते हैं। सड़क के गड्ढे भरने की मांग नगर निगम, जल निगम और जिलाधिकारी से कई बार की गई। तीन दिन पहले भी उत्तर प्रदेश आदर्श व्यापार मंडल निलमथा बाजार के व्यापारियों ने जिलाधिकारी से मिलकर गड्ढों को भरने की मांग की थी। तीन दिन तक कार्रवाई न होते देख मनोज कुमार सहित स्थानीय दुकानदारों ने नागरिकों साथ मिलकर प्रदर्शन किया। पाकर कैंट थाना पुलिस मौके पर पहुंच गई। पुलिस का आश्वासन मिलने पर करीब पांच घंटे बाद अपराह्न् दो बजे प्रदर्शन समाप्त हुआ।
