However,we believe that we are offering a foundation that will give UGC NET Aspirants to understand differentTEACHING TECHNIQUES Methods and they would be able to answer most of the Questions based on reading this post You will be able to describe various techniques and strategies for teachingQuickly differentiate the various Teaching methodsYou will be able to answer MCQ Questions based on Teaching Methods & techniques (Almost asked two Question everyyear in paper 1)Introduction on Teaching MethodologyTeaching and learning are the two sides of a coin.

2 The most accepted criterion for measuring good Teaching is the amount ofstudent learning that occurs. There are consistently high correlations between students ratings of the amount learned in thecourse and their overall ratings of the teacher and the who learned more gave their teachers higher ratings (Cohen, 1981; Theall and Franklin, 2001). Tell me, I forget. Show me, I remember. Involve me, I understand. There are Different Types of Teaching Methods which can be categorized into four broad Teacher-centred Methods ,2. Learner-centred Methods ,3. Content-focused Methods ; and4. Interactive/participative Methods .#1 Instructor/Teacher Centred Methods1/7 Here the teacher casts himself/herself in the role of being a master of the subject matter. The teacher is looked upon by thelearners as an expert or an authority. Learners, on the other hand, are presumed to be passive and copious recipients ofknowledge from the of such Methods are expository or lecture Methods which require little or no involvement of learners in the teachingprocess.

3 It is also for this lack of involvement of the learners in what they are taught, that such Methods are called closed-ended .#2 Learner-Centred MethodsIn learner-centred Methods , the teacher/instructor is both a teacher and a learner at the same time. In the words of LawrenceStenhouse, the teacher plays a dual role as a learner as well so that in his classroom extends rather than constricts hisintellectual horizons .The teacher also learns new things every day which he/she didn t know in the process of Teaching . The teacher becomes aresource rather than an authority . Examples of learner-centred Methods are discussion method, discovery or inquiry-basedapproach and the Hill s model of learning through discussion (LTD).#3 Content-Focused MethodsIn this category of Methods , both the teacher and the learners have to fit into the content that is taught.

4 Generally, this means theinformation and skills to be taught are regarded as sacrosanct or very lot of emphases is laid on the clarity and careful analyses of content. Both the teacher and the learners cannot alter or becomecritical of anything to do with the content. An example of a method which subordinates the interests of the teacher and learnersto the content is the programmed learning approach.#4 Interactive/Participative MethodsThis fourth category borrows a bit from the three other Methods without necessarily laying emphasis unduly on either thelearner, content or teacher. These Methods are driven by the situational analysis of what is the most appropriate thing for us tolearn/do now given the situation of learners and the require a participatory understanding of varied domains and of Various Methods with Advantages & DisadvantagesTHE LECTURE METHODA formal or semi-formal discourse in which the instructor presents a series of events, facts, or principles, explores a problem or explainsrelationshipsIt creates new is good for a large teacher is experienced and has mastery on the subject, explain all points and can answer all questions raised can ask if they need any through listeningThe teacher explains all the give their inputTeacher discusses the whole topic in the class in easy language students can easily understand the topic.

9 On-line methodsDifferences Between Online Learning and Offline Learning5/7 The main difference between online and offline learning is location. With offline learning, participants are required totravel to the training location, typically a lecture hall, college or classroom. With online learning, on the other hand, thetraining can be conducted from practically anywhere in the world. Participants simply need to log on to the internet fromtheir home, work or even their local coffee difference is the flexibility offered. Online learning usually has a more flexible timescale. As a trainer, you canoffer your support via email or through an online chat system. With offline learning, it is typically carried out betweenoffice hours and doesn t offer as much flexibility to the learner or the are the benefits of online vs offline learning?Although online learning has become the preferred method for the majority of learners, it s important not to dismiss the benefitsof offline training online training courses, you and the course attendees benefit from a more casual, flexible approach.

10 Beingunrestricted in regard to location and times means every learner can benefit from the offline learning, it s easier to ensure attendees are paying attention to the training. Some learners also find it easier toretain the knowledge and skills they ve learnt through offline training than they do with online there are benefits to both learning options, it makes sense to offer a combined online and offline learning approach as , Swayamprabha, MOOCs etc.(Details on Digital Initiative in Higher Education Through NMEICT has been covered in another post )Study Webs of Active Learning for Young Aspiring Minds(SWAYAM)SWAYAM is an indigenous (Made in India) IT Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) Platform for providing best qualityeducation that can be accessed by anyone, anytime and anywhere using the IT Concept of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) involves online delivery of interactive learning content to large numberof people simultaneously.
