Principles of Teaching: Different Methods and Approaches

DIFFERENT APPROACHES AND METHODS “A thousand teachers, a thousand methods.”

INTRODUCTION
TEACHING APPROACH - It is a set of principles, beliefs, or ideas about the nature of
learning which is translated into the classroom.

TEACHING STRATEGY - It is a long-term plan of action designed to achieve a particular


goal.

TEACHING METHOD - It is a systematic way of doing something. It implies an orderly


logical arrangement of steps. It is more procedural.

TEACHING TECHNIQUE - It is a well-defined procedure used to accomplish a specific


activity or task.

EXAMPLES OF TEACHING APPROACHES

TEACHER-CENTERED LEARNER-CENTERED
SUBJECT-MATTERED CENTER LEARNER-CENTERED
TEACHER DOMINATED INTERACTIVE
“BANKING” APPROACH CONSTRUCTIVIST
DISCIPLINAL INTEGRATED
INDIVIDUALISTIC COLLABORATIVE
INDIRECT, GUIDED DIRECT

1. TEACHER-CENTERED APPROACH - The teacher is perceived to be the only reliable


source of information in contrast to the learner-centered approach.

2. LEARNER-CENTERED APPROACH - In which it is premised on the belief that the learner is


also an important resource because he/she too knows something and is therefore capable of
sharing something.

3. SUBJECT MATTER-CENTERED APPROACH - Subject matter gains primacy over that of


the learner.

4. TEACHER DOMINATED APPROACH - In this approach, only the teacher’s voice is heard.
He/she is the sole dispenser of information.
5. INTERACTIVE APPROACH - In this approach, an interactive classroom will have more
student talk and less teacher talk. Students are given the opportunity to interact with teacher
and with other students.

6. CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH - The students are expected to construct knowledge and


meaning out for what they are taught by connecting them to prior experience .

7. BANKING APPROACH - The teacher deposits knowledge into the “empty” minds of
students for students to commit to memory.

8. INTEGRATED APPROACH - It makes the teacher connects what he/she teaches to other
lessons of the same subject (intradisciplinary) or connects his/her lessons with other
subjects thus making his/her approach (interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary).

9. DISCIPLINAL APPROACH - It limits the teacher to discussing his/her lessons within the
boundary of his/her subject.

10. COLLABORATIVE APPROACH - It will welcome group work, teamwork, partnerships, and
group discussion.

11. INDIVIDUALISTIC APPROACH - It wants the individual students to work by themselves. •

12. DIRECT TEACHING APPROACH - The teacher directly tells or shows or demonstrates what
is to be taught.

13. INDIRECT, GUIDED APPROACH - The teacher guides the learner to discover things for
himself/herself. The teacher facilitates the learning process by allowing the learner to be
engaged in the learning process with his/her guidance.

Other teaching approaches cited in education literature are:

1. RESEARCH-BASED APPROACH - As the name implies, teaching and learning are


anchored on research findings.

2. WHOLE CHILD APPROACH - The learning process itself takes into account not only the
academic needs of the learners, but also their emotional, creative, psychological, spiritual,
and developmental needs.

3. METACOGNITIVE APPROACH - The teaching process brings the learner to the process of
thinking about thinking. The learner reflects on what he learned and on his/her ways of
learning.

4. PROBLEM-BASED APPROACH - As the name implies, the teaching- learning process is


focused on problems. Time is spent on analyzing and solving problems.
