  • Asking question:One of the role of students in demonstration strategy is to ask question to the teacher.

Purposes of Demonstration Strategy
- The purposes of demonstration strategy are:
  • Arouse interest in the students learning
  • With the interest in students learning the points can be efficiently illustrated.
  • With the use of diferent teaching strategy in the class, there will be change in the learning environment too.
  • Another purpose of demonstration strategy is lack of equipments
  • Time Constraint
  • If there is any failur in the activity process the risk will be on teacher, so it is a risky experiment.

Principle of Demonstration Teaching
  1. The teacher must practice the activity before doing in the calssroom.
  2. Learner must have the pre knowlodge of what demonstration is done in the class.

Week Four - Questioning Strategy

Welcome to my blog page
Links

Home ICT Management Paro College VLE Paro College RUB Education

Teaching Strategy


Questioning Strategy

Q. What is a question?
Ans: Question is a statement that seeks clearification/response

Purposes of Questioning
  • Helps the teachers to make a judgement about how effective the pupil are learning
  • Make a classroom more student centered learning
  • It improve the thinking level
  • To check the efficiency of the teachers
  • Encourage lengthy responses and sustained answers.
Principle of Questioning
  1. Distribute questions so that all, including non-volunteers, are involved in learning.
  2. Encourage the leanthy responce and sustained answers.
  3. Balance accurate and thought-provoking questions.
  4. Ensure audibility, then refuse to repeat questions or answers.
  5. When the students ask question, donot response the child until asking to the class before.
  6. Suggest partnership by inquiring, “How can we ...?”
Classification of Questions as per bloom’s taxonomy
  1. Remembering: The learner is able to recall, restate and remember learned information.
    Questions for Remembering
    • What happened after...?
    • How many...?
    • What is...?
    • Who was it that...?
    • Can you name...?
  2. Understanding: The learner grasps the meaning of information by interpreting and translating what has been learned.
    Questions for Understanding
    • Can you explain why…?
    • Can you write in your own words?
    • How would you explain…?
  3. Applying: The learner makes use of information in a context different from the one in which it was learned.
    Questions for Applying
    • Do you know of another instance where…?
    • Which factors would you change if…?
    • What questions would you ask of…?
  4. Analysing The learner breaks learned information into its parts to best understand that information.
    Questions for Analysing
    • What was the turning point?
    • Why did...changes occur?
    • How is...similar to...?
  5. Evaluating The learner makes decisions based on in-depth reflection, criticism and assessment.
    Questions for Evaluating
    • Do you believe...? How would you feel if. ..?
    • What are the consequences..?
    • Do you think...is a good or bad thing?
  6. Creating The learner creates new ideas and information using what has been previously learned.
    Questions for Creating
    • Can you see a possible solution to...?
    • What would happen if ...?
    • Can you design a...to...?
Two types of questioning Convergent and Divergent Questioning
Convergent Questioning

The convergent questioning doesnot requires more thinking.
Example: Yes/No , True , False
- It is close ended question, which have only one answer and it should be direct.
- Collect short ideas from the students
- It mainly focuses on the lower level of thinking
Question Example:
- What is your name ? - Name the animal that have two leg?

Divergent Question
- Divergent question requires more thinking.
- Divergent question is an openended, which have infinit answers and have indirect answer
- There is no wrong or right answer

Features:
1. Eliciting Multiple Responses:
· If the teacher decides that more than one student should respond to a particular divergent question. Then the teacher asks a question that can be answered with multiple responses.
2. Accepting diversity: In addition to eliciting to longer and multiple responses, the teacher must also be prepared to accept diverse responses. To reinforce appropriate responses behavior, the teacher must demonstrate a high degree of acceptance for the response of each student. The rule of thumb is that when divergent questions are asked by the teacher, free responses of each student must be allowed. Again, this is a great technique for disadvantaged students, as they may get to become “stars” in the classroom.
3. Beginning the sequence:
Divergent questions deal with high level of thinking
1. Analyzing
2. Evaluating
3. Creating

Socratic questioning:
What?
Named for Socrates (ca. 470-399 B.C.), the early Greek philosopher/teacher Socrates. A Socratic approach to teaching is one in which the instructor poses thoughtful questions to help students learn. The Socratic method of teaching is a student-centered approach that challenges learners to develop their critical thinking skills and engage in analytic discussion.

Achievement:
  1. Facilitate inquiry-based learning.
  2. Active participation.
  3. Help students to construct knowledge.
  4. Poses thoughtful questions to help students learn.
  5. examine students ideas logically
  6. student-centered learning.(helps students to engage)
  7. Improve long-term retention of knowledge.
  8. Help students to develop problem-solving skills.
Six Types of Questioning:
  1. Questions for clarification.
  2. Questions that ask assumptions.
  3. Questions that ask reasons and evidence.
  4. Questions about Viewpoints and Perspectives.
  5. Questions that ask implications and consequences.
  6. Questions about the question.
Procedural Steps of questioning:
  1. Write question.
  2. Gain attention.
  3. Ask Question.
  4. Pause while asking the question
  5. Call for the responses/answer
  6. If no responses change the question.
  7. Again if no responses pick somebody.
  8. After the response supplement on it.

Home ICT Management Paro College VLE Paro College RUB Education

Teaching Strategy


Deductive Teaching Strategy

- In deductive teaching strategy the teacher lead childrens learning from unknown to known, complex to simple or from abstract to concrete.

Purposes of Deductive Teaching Strategy
  • The students tend to retain better information.
  • It results in the better transfer of learning
  • Deductive teaching mode is effective when the students have a limited background of the subject.
  • Deductive teaching mode requires less time consuming
  • The teacher can use a broader spectrum of materials and means of presentation in the class.

Phase in deductive teaching
Phase 1
Presentation of abstraction (The teacher defines the concept or state the generalization)
Phase 2
Teacher gives example of the concept
Phase 3
Students gives example of the concept and apply the generalization to a new situation
Phase 4
The students restate what they have learned

Roles of a Teacher
-The teacher gives and disseminates all information
-Teacher ast as the information coordinators

Roles of a Students
-The role of student is a passive listener here.
-Carries out the activiteis after the teacher's instruction
-Breaking down the information into their understanding.


Mertis and Demerits of Deductive Teaching Strategy

Merits
  1. It is less time consuming as the flow is on the concept
  2. It is different from rote learning
  3. Quciker way of teaching concepts
  4. Not challenging
  5. Teachers Centered

Teaching Strategy


Inductive Teaching Strategy

- In inductive teaching strategy the teacher lead childrens learning from what they know to what they don't know.

Concept of Inductive Teaching Strategy
ITS is also called as a discovery teaching or inquiry teaching. In inductive the knowledge is built primarily from a learners experienced and interactions with phenomenon.

Principle of Inductive teaching Strategy are:
  1. Learn with examples
  2. Social Interaction
  3. Teacher guidance
  4. Constructivist
Steps and Procedures of Inductive Teaching
  • The Open-ended phase (Observation phase)
    -The teachers give lots of examples related to the topic ad let the students to come up with the example and non example by looking at some pictures.
  • Convergent Phase
    -The students identify the pattern, characteristics.(Patterns adn shapes)
  • Closure Phase
    -Use the second phase mentioned above and and apply it.
    The teacher will ask, students to define the concept.
  • Application Phase
The two type of Inductive Teaching Strategy are:
Guided Inductive Teaching Strategy
>> If the teacher is wishes to provide basic element of a lesson and want the students to make the generalization, than the teacher is conducting guided inductive learning.

Unguided Inductive Teaching Strategy
>> On the other hand if the teacher decides to allow the students to provide the class and to make the generalization, than the process may be unguided.
Roles of Teacher in Guided Inductive Teaching Strategy
  • Planning the activity
  • Executing the activity
  • Evaluating the activity
Roles of Students in Guided Inductive Teaching Strategy
  • Follow the instruction of teacher
  • The students have to browse/explore new knowledge

Mertis and Demerits of Inductive Teaching Strategy

Merits
  1. This is good for increasing motivation and self activity of the sudents.
  2. This is a logical and Psychological kind of concept
  3. The students get to play maximum opportunity to play an active role in learning process
  4. Childern enjoy teaching by this procedure
Demerits
  1. The content coverage can be minimum
  2. It is time consuming
  3. It requires a lot of effort and experience on the part of learner to effectively plan and organise.
