Advantages And Disadvantages Of Inquiry Based Method

Every teacher has its own way of selecting and developing a technique for teaching and may draw various experiences to get the attention of the students. This is called teaching methodology or pedagogy. The teaching methodology facilitates the learning process of the students. The students become productive if

Teaching in most cases is showing or demonstrating what you’ve experienced and applying that task to someone else. I reflect back to my early years as a child and my little league baseball coach teaching how to become a baseball player. Although I know how to throw and catch a ball, I didn’t know the fundamentals of the game. One example I can think of is the coach teaching me how to slide when stealing a base. The example he would use is “pretend you’re running on a slip in slide” when stealing a base. I also think back to my kindergarten teacher teaching my how to tie my shoes or how to recite my ABCs.

In my teaching experience, I also realized that the students have the tendency to memorize something that they do not understand and at the end, in the comprehensive exam they fail. As a teacher, my focus will be to teach them those basic chemistry principles clearly so that they do not require to memorize.

The Head, Heart, and Hands can be a teaching method. Head is cognitive, hands( by doing), and heart is by heart. Cognitive involves role play, lectures, brainstorming, etc. Behavioral methods is done through experiments, role plays, public recognition, etc and affective methods are done through case studies, stories, and dramas.

In this assignment I will aim to discuss the factors which can affect learning for a student. Incorporated in this I will discuss theories of ‘learning styles’, comparing and contrasting them and try to identify aspects which can impact upon my practice. I will analyse my own teaching style and that of others to see how the theories can be applied and also assess my own success in meeting the needs of the students.

This question is key to determine the educator's ability to be motivated and engaged themselves regarding learning new techniques. This will allow the educator to be molded into a more successful teacher.

Teaching methods are general, logical principles and management strategies used in a classroom to obtain the goal of the

Problem Solving is another teaching method. It taps into the learners critical thinking skills and forces them to evaluate a situation before engaging it. This method is typically done by the teacher/instructor giving the student a complicated scenario that they would have to work through using their best judgment. The student should develop multiple courses of action and through a process of elimination go with the course of actions that presents the best results for the scenario. If done properly the students will develop their problem solving skills by learning how to identify possible problems within the outcome of their plan of actions. They should also be able to see where they failed so they know how to avoid the same mistakes when making real decisions in life.

The teacher uses different method for giving best knowledge of his students. He tries to his best to make understand student. His duty is to encourage students to learn the subjects. (Charles Bonwell 1991).

In the article The Equivalence of Learning Paths in Early Science Instruction one can see the effects of both direct instruction and discovery learning. It is evident that the author emphasizes the importance of direct instruction in a school setting. Students who where exposed to a direct learning environment were able to perform better than the discovery learning students based on the experiment conducted. Students who where directed by a teacher

This report is limited to the field of university lecturing, the communication topic of public speaking and the sub topics of preparation, visual aids and nonverbal skills.

Lecture-based learning is problematic for the college student because it is outdated and does not promote learning as a process of analysis and personal discovery. Lecture-based learning is one of the oldest teaching styles still used today. Originally, it was used out of necessity when books were not able to be

The classroom lecture is a special form of communication in which voice, gesture, movement, facial expression, and eye contact can either complement or detract from the content. (Davis, 1993). In this teaching method, a large amount of topics can be taught in a single class period without using any extra equipment or lab. Besides, students’ listening skills can be developed and help in learning languages. In article “Common Teaching Methods”, it is stated that strengths of lecture method that it presents factual material in direct, logical manner, contains experience which inspires, stimulates thinking to open discussion, and useful for a large group. (McCarthy, 1992). To make lecture method to be more effective and interesting for students, lecturer should deliver information dramatically by using example to make it more memorable by students. Then, the teachers need to ask questions throughout the lecture so students can involve in the learning process and to check whether they really understand about that specific topic and teacher also should get the feedback of students to improve their lecture

Ideally, it would be very beneficial both for mostly to students and for the researcher, not to mention the other 21st Century Science Educators who are altogether well-acquainted with varied collaborative learning activities or group learning (non-activity-based learning or NABL as termed in this study) as approach in teaching the subject nowadays, if the aforementioned disadvantages of the same approach would be avoided, resulting to improved students’ performance and proper execution of the lesson.

Hence the need to design teaching strategy covering these pillars that permeate the development of skills in the actors in the teaching-learning process, it being
