we have had over the years with a
sense of recognition, but those who
have touched our humanity we
remember with a deep sense of
gratitude.

6.  Teaching is like fishing…
 You use different lures for different fish
 You use different methods for different
learners.
 Teaching is like beautiful music…
 Where, instructional methods are the
instruments
 When played alone they make sound…
 When played together in tune, rhythm,
and feeling, they become amazing music!

8. Presentation skills into a
classroom setting
Focus 1: Content of the Presentation
Ask your students to consider three questions
 “What do I want to share?”
 “Why do I want to share it?”
 “How can I share it in the clearest way possible for
my audience?”

9. Focus 2: Delivery
Here are the three main areas to focus on:
 Vocal Control
 Eye Contact
 Physical Gestures
Focus 3: Preparation and Rehearsal

10. Focus 4: Supplemental Aids
1. Slide Deck
2. Outline
3. Notes for distribution
4. Visual Aids
Focus 5: Assessing

11. Teaching Presentation Skills” will enable you and your
students to learn and utilize the techniques of
accomplished, professional speakers, and will allow you
to make sequential strides toward becoming highly
successful presenters.

12. What is a “Method”?
 a procedure or process for attaining an object: as
 a (1) : a systematic procedure, technique, or
mode of inquiry employed by or proper to a
particular discipline or art (2) : a systematic
plan followed in presenting material for
instruction
 b (1) : a way, technique, or process of or for
doing something (2) : a body of skills or
techniques

13. Teaching Method
 Objective oriented activities and flow of
information between teachers and
students.

14. 30% of what we SEE
We Learn and Retain
10% of what we READ
20% of what we HEAR
50% of what we HEAR and SEE
Higher levels of retention can be achieved through active
involvement in learning.

16. Methods, Strategy, Aid, Approach
 Teaching Method tend to be synonymous with technique
according to Webster
 Teaching Strategy – “careful plan” that serves an
important function in achieving a specific outcome.
 Instructional aids includes:
 Chalkboard, Flip chart, PowerPoint
 Overheads, VCR, Real Objects, etc.
 Teaching Approach is a “holistic process”
 Includes the teaching steps, problem-solving
strategies, and teaching methods.

17. Teaching Methods
 Lecture-Explaining
 Case Study
 Group Discussion
 Brainstorming
 Field-trip (tour)

18. Additional Methods/Strategies
 Others
 Role-Play
 Jigsaw
 Concept Map/Sketch
 Debate
 Cooperative Learning
 Panel of Experts
 Mind map
 Games
 Quiz 18

19. Lecture:
Formal presentation
by an expert in the
subject matter that
may be followed by a
question-and-answer
session.
19

20. Case study:
A process or record of research into the
development of a particular person, group, or
situation over a period of time.
20

21. Group Decision :
Group Decision-making (also known as
collaborative decision-making) is a situation faced when
individuals collectively make a choice from the alternatives
before them. The decision is then no longer attributable to any
single individual who is a member of the group.
21

22. Brainstorming:
For generating creative ideas and solutions through
intensive and freewheeling group discussion.
Every participant is encouraged to think aloud and
suggest as many ideas as possible.
22

23. Field Trip:
Is a journey by a group of people to a place away from their
normal environment. The purpose of the trip is
usually observation for education, non-experimental research or to
provide students with experiences outside their everyday activities,
such as going camping with teachers and their classmates. The aim
of this research is to observe the subject in its natural state and
possibly collect samples.
23

24. Role play :
o Role-play is a valuable teaching and training tool
that delivers immense amount of imprinted learning.
• Practice
• Feedback
• Debrief
24

25. 25

26. Jigsaw :
A jigsaw puzzle is a tiling puzzle that requires the assembly
of, often oddly shaped, interlocking and tessellating pieces.
Each piece usually has a small part of a picture on it; when
complete, a jigsaw puzzle produces a complete picture.
26

27. Concept Mapping:
Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing
and representing knowledge. They
include concepts, usually enclosed in circles or
boxes of some type, and relationships
between concepts indicated by a connecting line
linking two concepts.
27

28. Debate:
Debate is a method of interactive and
representational argument.
28

29. Cooperative learning:
• Cooperative learning is an educational approach which aims to
organize classroom activities into academic and social learning
experiences. There is much more to Cooperative Learning than
merely arranging students into groups, and it has been described as
"structuring positive interdependence."Students must work in groups
to complete tasks collectively toward academic goals.

33. Why Use Teaching Aids?
Teaching aids are useful to:
 Ensure that your point is understood,
 Signal what is important/essential,
 Enable students to visualise or
experience something that is impractical
to see or do in real life,
 Engage students’ other senses in the
learning process,
 Facilitate different learning styles.
33

34. Instructional/Teaching Methods
 Assist the teacher in the teaching/learning
process
 White board
 Handouts
 Pictures/Video
 Audio
 Computer
 Models

35. Techniques to increase learners
participation:
Assess their prior knowledge
Try a jigsaw approach
Keep it “bite-sized
Keep them busy
Give them a voice and a choice
Goal orientation
Motivation
Reinforcement
Friendly environment
Appropriate teaching strategy
Time adjustment
Spaced learning 35
