NOTES FROM TOPIC 3: Approaches, Strategies & Methods of


Teaching

Introduction.
1. There are several approaches, strategies and methods utilized in the process of
teaching students in a classroom.

2. In terms of teaching approaches, there are inductive, deductive, eclectic, integrated


and thematic approaches in learning.

3. Meanwhile, there are four teaching strategies, which are teacher centred, student
centred, material centred and task-based strategies.

4. Finally, some methods used for teaching include brainstorming, discussion play,
demonstration, simulation, role-play and problem-solving.

Teaching Approaches
1. In the process of teaching, an approach means a method of attaining certain
objectives in a classroom lesson.

2. A teacher may adopt several approaches in their teaching, which may range from
being concrete to abstract, from simple to complex, from near to far, from general to
specific (deductive) or from specific to general (inductive).

3. Meanwhile, an integrated approach means a combination of all the following skills,


which include reading, writing, counting and verbal skills.

4. The inductive approach involves activities such as collecting, analyzing, interpreting


information grouped together and arriving to a generalization.
5. The inductive approach can also be utilized to address superordinate learning. In this
approach, learning begins with using specific examples to derive a certain new
concepts.

6. Furthermore, the inductive approach, the process starts with concepts that are are
already acquired to produce a new concept, formula, principle, conclusion and
generalization.

7. In contrast with the inductive approach, the deductive approach is subordinate in


nature, whereby the concept is mastered earlier, and then it is gradually applied to
certain specific examples.

8. The eclectic approach is basially an alternative combination of inductive an deductive


approaches, which is commonly used in the process of problem-solving.

9. The thematic approach is used what a particular theme is the main focus or idea of a
topic or a classroom lesson.

10. It is used in teaching stories, essay writings, moral education, art and history
subjects. This teaching method is closely related with group activities and discussions.

11. In the thematic approach, the teacher is required to facilitate the lesson by utilizing
techniques to implement teaching and learning activities according to the procedures of
the discussion method.

Teaching Strategies
1. A teaching strategy can be defined as a systematic planning with the aim to
successfully achieve a certain goal.

2. In teaching, this concept can be explained as the wisdom or discretion to choose a


teaching approach as well as the competency in organizing teaching methods and
techniques for the implementation of a lesson based on pre-determined teaching and
learning objectives.
3. Firstly, a commonly used strategy is known as a teacher-centred strategy. In this
strategy, the teacher plays a primary role and controls all the teaching and learning
activities in the classroom.

4. Teaching is based on an expository model via this strategy.

5. Moving on, another strategy used in modern pedagogy is the pupil-centred strategy,
which is in line with student-centred learning.

6. In this strategy, the teacher normally plays a facilitating role in guiding students to
learn either individually or in small groups.

7. Some suitable methods are individual learning, group activities, inquiry-discovery,


discussion, brainstorming, simulation, role-play and problem-solving,

8. Several characteristics of pupil-centred strategies. Firstly, the interaction in the


classroom is always two-way. Secondly, the teacher practices a democratic teaching
style. Thirdly, there is an emphasis is on the achievement on the learning objectives of
the pupils.

9. Other characteristics include emphasizing on the overall development of the pupils’


potentials. In addition, pupils also interact to foster social skills and noble values.

10. Moving on, there are material-centred strategies, which emphasizes on the use of
teaching and learning materials during the teaching and learning process.

11. Some methods suitable for material-centred strategy include the audio-visual
method using tape recorder, projector, television and video, programme instructional
teaching using computers and software, modular teaching using printed materials,
experimental methods using laboratory apparatus and much more.

12. The next strategy for teaching is known as the task-based strategy. This strategy is
mainly based on tasks carried out in the class.

13. In this strategy, activities are planned by the teacher to carried out specific tasks.

14. This method is closely related with material-centred strategies as well as pupil-
centred strategies.
15. Common examples include role-play, drama, project such as model making,
discussion such as debate and also brainstorming,
