6. MEMORY LEVEL OF
TEACHING
The learner has to learn the
material, retain the
meaningful material, and
reproduce that when asked
for.
7.
8. 1.Objective:
The objective of the memory level of teaching is just
to impart information or knowledge to the learner.
This knowledge or information is factual in nature,
which is acquired through a mechanical process (i.e.
memorization or rote learning).
2. Aims:
To get factual information
To train memory faculty
To retain the learning material in-memory storage
To reproduce and recognize the learned information
when required
9. 3. Nature of Subject matter:
Subject matter should be structured and well organized and
of simple nature that can be acquired through rote learning
and can be retained and recalled.
Subject matter includes information about simple concepts,
terms, and elements related to different things of the world.
4. Methods used by Teacher :
Teacher dominated methods like drill, review, and revision
and asking questions.
Drill means repetition or practice for the purpose of attaining
proficiency in memorizing the material.
Review and Revision is revising the elements to related them
with new experience and to form a new association for the
development of new skills or learning to solve new problems.
Asking the question is to examine whether or not the
knowledge level objectives of teaching have been achieved.
10. 5.Teaching equipment:
Teaching aids such as audio, visual and audio-visual
aids. E.g. Models, Charts, Maps, Pictures, TV, Radio,
Computers, etc. should be used to develop curiosity
among the students.
6. Evaluation System:
Oral and written tests are used to test the memory of
the students.
In evaluation; written test, short type test, recall type,
recognition type, multiple choice, alternative type, and
matching type test is employed.

12. UNDERSTANDING
LEVEL OF TEACHING
Understanding implies to know the meanings
of things and concepts, to grasp ideas, to
interpret some relationship, to comprehend
the facts, and to infer one thing from some
other.
At this level, the learners are required to
comprehend factual information, to know the
meaning of different concepts and their
relationships, and to apply facts, concepts,
and principles.
13.
14. 1.Aims and Objectives:
Comprehension Objectives- Comprised of Translation,
Interpretations and Extrapolation.
Application Objective- Efficiency to apply to comprehend
knowledge in various similar and different situations and
settings.
Understanding Objectives- It pertains to the understanding to
instructional messages, by means of Interpretation,
Exemplifying, Classifying, Summarizing, Inferring, Comparing
and Explaining, etc.
Application Objective- Application objectives include proper
procedure for Executing, Implementing; the use of generalized
rule or principle in practical life situations.
2. Nature of Subject Matter:
Wide
Larger in number
Larger in quantity
15. 3. Methods used by Teacher:
Lecture Method
Lecture demonstration method
Discussion method
Inductive and Deductive method
Exemplification and Explanation
4. Teaching Equipment:
Different charts, models, flashcards, pictures, TV, and many
more electronic devices are used as teaching equipment.
5. Evaluation:
The teacher has to evaluate the ability to comprehend, grasp,
synthesize, discriminate and generalize; and the insight to
apply the generalized principles further so, the tests and
tools should be properly planned and devised.
Written tests should be conducted.
16. Effective learning

17. REFLECTIVE LEVEL OF
TEACHING
This level of teaching is the highest level of
teaching-learning activity.
It does not depend on memorization,

19. 1.Aims and Objectives:
To develop insight into the learner to solve
problems.
To develop rational and critical thinking in the
students.
To develop the ability of independent thinking and
decision making in the students.
2. Nature of Subject matter:
The subject matter is mainly unstructured and open-
ended.
It is concerned with the problem rather than the
subject.
20. 3. Methods used by Teachers:
Problem solving methods
Investigating projects
Heuristic method
Experimental method
Inquiry oriented method
Analytical method
4. Evaluation:
The evaluation system at the reflective level of teaching
should test the higher order cognitive abilities like
reasoning, creativity, original thinking, problem-solving,
critical thinking, etc.
21. The most thoughtful mode
of operation
Learner centered approach
Development of problem
solving ability
Useful for gifted children
Provides maximum
flexibility
Self motivation
Development of creativity
Not suitable for lower
classes
Time consuming process
Not suitable for Indian
