  4. Good Teaching : Traditional teaching approach involves: • an explanation • a demonstration • organised practice • teacher feedback • all children involved in the same task at the same skill level • where ‘time on task’ seen as important indicator of ‘effective teaching’ This is the approach that most of you have been exposed to at school

  5. Good Teaching : Methodology: • How we get across learning to our students, eg • selling our product • believing in the product • the credibility of the product • Need to combine content knowledge with the skills of teaching, and • Learn the tricks of the trade

  6. Good Teaching : Memorable teacher task: Think back to a memorable teacher you had, one who made a positive difference in your education: • share your memories of this teacher with a partner • write three sentences about what made that teacher memorable • give a list of words that describe the qualities of that teacher

  14. General Model of Teaching: • Learners • Teacher Ideals Context • Content

  15. Five Perspectives on Teaching: • Transmission • Developmental • Apprenticeship • Nurturing • Social Reform

  16. Five Perspectives on Teaching: Each perspective contains: • Key beliefs • Governing assumptions • Primary responsibilities • Typical strategies • Common difficulties

  17. Transmission Perspective : • Content and teacher are the dominant features • Governing assumptions: • deep respect for content • objective/fact based • hierarchical progression of content learning

  18. Transmission Perspective (cont): Key beliefs: • Content is learned in its authorised form • Process of learning is additive • Role of the teacher is to represent content • Content can be transferred from the teacher to the learner

  19. Transmission Perspective (cont): Primary responsibilities : • Be thoroughly prepared • Specific, clear objectives • Select and sequence materials • Provide clear and well organised lectures • Provide answers to questions • Correct errors/use feedback

  20. Developmental Perspective : • Learners and their understanding of the environment are the dominant features • Governing assumptions: • Knowledge is individually constructed • Authority is horizontal rather than hierarchical

  21. Developmental Perspective (cont): Key beliefs: • Learning is a search for meaning • Learners search through association • Prior knowledge influences the search • Less (coverage) can be more (understanding)

  22. Developmental Perspective (cont): Typical responsibilities : • Understand learners prior knowledge • Activate learners prior knowledge • Adapt expertise/knowledge to the learners level • Plan for active learning • Keep assessment consistent with learning tasks • Assess for reasoning not just answers

  23. Developmental Perspective (cont): Typical strategies: • Teach from learners point of view • Use examples, cases, problems to bridge students’ understanding • Let students construct their own understanding • Challenge students’ ways of understanding

  24. Apprenticeship Perspective: • The context is the dominant feature • Learning is a process of enculturation into a new discipline / community of practice • The product of learning is: • competence or skilled performance • identity in relation to the community of practice • Novices start on the margins and gradually move toward the centre of the community’s work

  25. Nurturing Perspective: • The interaction between the teacher and the learner is the dominant feature • Learners must believe that success is due to their effort and ability • Self-concept is strongly emphasised

  26. Teaching Perspectives: Crucial questions • What should my students learn? • Why is that important? • How will I know if they have learned? • What is my role as a teacher? • What is their role as students?

  27. Teaching Philosophy • How do I teach? • ACTIONS • What am I trying to accomplish? • INTENTIONS • Why is that important? • BELIEFS
