Teaching methods refers to the strategies teachers use to achieve learning objectives and create effective learning environments. These methods are classified into teacher-controlled methods like lectures and demonstrations, learning-controlled methods involving self-study and assignments, and group-controlled methods such as projects, simulations, field trips, and problem-based learning which encourage student collaboration. Effective teaching methods stimulate and guide students towards self-directed learning.
