TEACHING
METHODS AND CHALLANGES
ABSTRACT/PURPOSE
Evaluate traditional methods of teaching as well as multimedia
teaching methods
 Teaching must include two major components sending and
receiving information
Any communication methods that serve this purpose without
destroying the objective could be considered as innovative
methods of teaching.
Benefits of innovative methods
Improved Learning process
As per the need
ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL METHOD OF
TEACHING
Pre-technology education context, the teacher is the sender
or the source.
The educational material is the information or message.
The student is the receiver of the information.
The delivery medium
chalk-and- talk” method
overhead projector (OHP) transparencies.
In such a lecture students assume a purely passive role and
their concentration fades off after 15-20 minutes.
LIMITATIONS
Teaching in classroom using chalk and talk is “one way flow”
of information
Teachers often continuously talk for an hour without knowing
students response and feedback.
The material presented is only based on lecturer notes and
textbooks.
There is insufficient interaction with students in classroom.
More emphasis has been given on theory without any practical
and real life time situations.
Learning from memorization but not understanding
WHAT GREAT TEACHERS SAY
“I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can
learn.”― Albert Einstein
“The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a
teacher.”― Elbert Hubbard
“You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within
himself.”― Galileo Galilei
“The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.” ― Amos
Bronson Alcott
“I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.” ― Winston
Churchill
WHAT INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS
HAVE YOU BEEN EXPOSED TO??
…in high school?
…in college?
…in non-formal settings?
ANALOGIES…
Teaching is like fishing…
You use different lures for different fish
You use different methods for different learners.
Teaching is like beautiful music…
Where, instructional methods are the instruments
When played alone they make sound…
When played together in tune, rhythm, and feeling, they become
amazing music!

What is in your “toolbox”?
SELECTING AND USING A VARIETY OF
INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS
Instructional objectives:
Define method of Instruction
Discuss factors to consider when selecting a method of instruction
Distinguish between methods of instruction and instructional aids
Identify & discuss a variety of teaching methods
METHODS, STRATEGY, AID, APPROACH
Teaching Method tend to be synonymous with technique
Teaching Strategy – “careful plan” that serves an important function
in achieving a specific outcome.
Instructional aids includes:
Chalkboard, Flip chart, PowerPoint
Overheads, VCR, Real Objects, etc.
Teaching Approach is a “holistic process”
Includes the teaching steps, problem-solving strategies, and
teaching methods.
TEACHING METHODS
Lecture-Explaining
Resource People
Case Study
Group Discussion
Brainstorming & Buzz Groups
Field-trip (tour)
WHAT FACTORS DO WE CONSIDER WHEN
SELECTING AN INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD?
The intended specific outcome or purpose
Size of group
Learners’ preference for learning
The content sometimes dictates the method
Required preparation
