Basic Principles of Teaching

The document outlines principles of effective teaching and educational technology. It states that learning experiences should have clear objectives and engage learners actively through hands-on experiences and problem-solving. Learning environments should use a variety of media to accommodate different learning styles and include both knowledge-based and problem-based learning. They should also support interaction and collaboration to develop communities that enhance learning outcomes. Quality web-based teaching encourages critical thinking, knowledge construction, and focuses on real-world problem solving through active participation and discourse.

Basic Principles of Teaching and Educational Technology

1. The learning experience must have a clear purpose with tightly focused outcomes and objectives. Web-based learning designs must consider the nature of content, specific context, desired learning outcomes and characteristics of the learner. Learner-centered strategies include modular, stand-alone units that are compatible with short bursts of learning. Learning modules may also be open, flexible and selfdirecting.

The learner is actively engaged.


Active, hands-on, concrete experiences are highly effective. Learning by doing, analogy and assimilation are increasingly important pedagogical forms. Where possible, learning outcomes should relate to real-life experiences through simulation and application.

The learning environment makes appropriate use of a variety of media.


Various learning styles are best engaged by using a variety of media to achieve learning outcomes. Selection of media may also depend on nature of content, learning goals, access to technology, and the local learning and the local learning environment.

Problem-based learning involves higher order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation while knowledge-based learning involves recall, comprehension and application.

Learning environments must include problem-based as well as knowledgebased learning.

Learning is social and sensitive to context. Learning experiences based on interaction and collaboration support learning communities while building a support network to enhance learning outcomes. Multiple interactions, group collaboration and cooperative learning may provide increased levels of interaction and simulation

Learning experiences should support interaction and the development of communities of interest

The practice of distance learning contributes to the larger social mission of education and training in a democratic society. Changing mental models and constructing new knowledge empowers learners and encourages critical thinking. "Knowledge becomes a function of how the individual creates meaning from his or her experiences; it is not a function of what someone else says is true." (Jonassen, 1995)

Characteristics of Quality Web-based Teaching and Learning


Fosters meaning-making, discourse Moves from knowledge transmission to learner-controlled systems Provides for reciprocal teaching Is learner-centered Encourages active participation, knowledge construction

Based on higher level thinking skills -- analysis, synthesis, and evaluation Promotes active learning Allows group collaboration and cooperative learning Provides multiple levels of interaction Focuses on real-world, problem solving
