Teaching Approaches

Teaching Approach

“Teaching approach” is different ways tried and adopted to teach by instructor, to make learning more effective of a learner.  Teachers design and adopt different methods of teaching  for different kind of  learners based on his/her underestanding and assessment on learning styles of the students.

The different kinds of teaching approaches may include Explaining, Demonstrating, collaborating and probing etc., These kinds of approach can be learner centered or facilitator centered.

In both the trigger videos of teaching approaches, both teachers used different ways to make learning easy and simple to engage the classroom.  In the 1^st video facilitator was very open, started the class with asking questions, probing later on created more open space for students to discuss, ask questions and engage in the topic.  Where in in the 2^nd video facilitation was more of hands on training, where teacher was demonstrating each and everystep by doing and students were following, in this process student felt so comfortable to work on newer things also clarify doubts.

Both the videos helped us to see and observe different ways of instructing in different set ups. Enjoyed watching both the videos.
