Methods used in Classroom

Hello!

In my classroom I use different methods of teaching like

  • Teacher centered learning - Introducing the topic/session
  • Role plays
  • Group discussion
  • Activities like Pick and speak, Pick and act.
  • Debate
  • Videos
  • Ppt
  • Arts/craft
Objectives:
  • To give clarity on the topic and involve learner' attention
  • To engage learner in class and develop their confidence
  • To provide opportunity to learners to raise their voice, express their views, ideas as well as to bring out their creativity.
  • It also enables them to observe, listen, analyse and come with different opinions and solutions
  • It also instigates them to think beyond and thought process never ends. 
  • To help them develop their skills and learn by doing, and help their peers when they are stuck with some process of learning.
  • To create positive learning environment so as to build positive attitude.
According to my experience involving different methods in a classroom is a good thing but there should be a systematic way in using different methods. There should be some meaning and drawing connections between each method is also necessary. As there are learners coming from different places with different learning styles, it is very much required to use multiple methods as it will create interest, bring out creativity, own the learning process, to build and develop their skills and create a positive learning environment.

Learners have responded creatively with lot of energy, enthusiasm, and i also observed the peer learning where each one was helping the other. There was effective participation which boosted my energy to do more and more.

  1. Hi Carol,

    The post captures the different activities, tools and medium that you use in your classroom. Can you take an example of a session that you conducted recently and map the following for that particular session? The objective for the session, why you choose a particular method, and how the students responded to that particular session and method. By doing this you can connect planning, classroom delivery and students' responses and make meaning of the method that you have chosen. This was the intent for the blog post. Hope you would be able to make those connections.
