  1. Methods of Instruction

  2. Learning Objectives • Upon completion of this lesson, participants will be able to: • Compare and contrast a range of instructional methods. • Select appropriate instructional methods for specific content. • Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

  3. Methods of Instruction • Teaching lecture • Guided discussion • Teaching interview • Case study • Demonstration performance

  4. Review ANALYSIS • Determining the method of delivery should be a part of the analysis • Audience • Objectives DESIGN IMPLEMENT DEVELOP

  5. Lecture Method • A teaching lecture is an oral presentation intended to present information or teach people about a particular subject given by a single individual.

  6. Formal Lecture • One way communication • Usually given to large groups • Structured and rehearsed TED

  7. Informal Lecture • Two way communication • Usually given to smaller groups • Conversational tone

  8. Teaching Lecture Method Advantages • Factual material is presented in a direct, logical manner • May provide experiences that inspire - useful for large group • Most efficient way to convey teacher spoken information Disadvantages • Proficient oral skills are necessary • Audience is often passive • Learning is difficult to determine as the lecture progresses • Communication is one-way Preparation • Become very familiar with subject • Provide comfortable, non-distracting environment • Be mindful of trainees’ mental and physical state (hunger, fatigue)

  9. Guided Discussion • Exposes students to a variety of diverse perspectives, helps them recognize and investigate their assumptions, improves listening and conversation skills, fosters connection to a topic, and affirms students as co-creators of knowledge

  10. Methods Formal Informal Guided Discussion I I I s s s s s s s s s s s s s s

  11. Guided discussion • All channel communication • Multiple responses • Allows for discussion of the material I s s s s

  12. Guided Discussion - Delivery • Participation Tips • Get to know your students. • Always consider your objectives. • Come prepared with prompts. • Circulate the room if working in groups • REMEMBER • The instructor must be flexible in order to help the student reach a planned lesson objective. Write the lesson plan is such a way to give that flexibility to instructors.

  13. Guided Discussion • Questioning Techniques • Open-ended question • Reflected question • Redirecting When asking an open-ended question, how long should you wait for an answer?

  14. In what situations would the various methods be appropriate?

  15. Cognitive Applying the methods • Evaluation • Synthesis Guided discussion Informal lecture Formal lecture • Analysis • Application • Comprehension • Knowledge Explain Interpret Describe ____ Name List Identify

  16. Demonstration Performance • The demonstration method of instruction provides a "clear picture" of a task that must be learned. • The performance method of instruction is based on the principle that one learns best by doing.

  17. Demonstration Performance • The body of the lesson plan includes four phases • Explanation • Demonstration • Performance/Supervision • Evaluation

  18. Demonstration Performance • Mental Skills • Math formulas • Map reading • Languages

  19. Demonstration Performance • Physical Skills • Cutting • Drilling • Measuring

  20. Criterion Objective • Objectives are a little different with a Demonstration Performance lesson. You should write a Criterion Objective so students know exactly what they are to do, under what conditions, and how well they are to do it. • Performance: States behaviorally what is required to do • Condition: States what resources can and cannot be used • Standard: Specifies how well task must be performed

  21. Remaining Methods • Teaching interview • Case study

  22. Teaching interview • Interviewing experts • Advance questions

  23. Case Study • Some students are more inductive than deductive • Can be very effective as a capstone technique for teaching

  24. Advantages of the case study • Problem solving • Requires student to be analytical • Requires students to engage in decision-making

  25. Setting up the case study • What is the issue? • What is the goal of the case study? • What is the context of the problem? • What key facts should be considered?

  26. Case study Information Principles Concepts Outcomes Case

  27. Case Study • What are the facts? • What is the problem?

  28. Methods of Instruction Review • Teaching lecture • Guided discussion • Teaching interview • Case study • Demonstration performance
