The document outlines the Affective, Cognitive Experience for Self-learning (ACES) teaching approach. The ACES approach focuses on both the affective and cognitive development of students. It aims to make students more self-aware of their strengths and weaknesses and helps them improve their liabilities. The approach uses inductive and deductive methods and experiential learning. It involves four phases: a learning trigger, values clarification, a directive inculcation phase, and an action phase. Film showing can be an effective teaching strategy when used properly, as it brings realism to the classroom, but it also has disadvantages like potential distractions.

1. The Affective,
Cognitive Experience
for Self-learning
(ACES) Approach
Gretchen C. Dawaton,MBA

2. At the end of the topic the
students should be able to:
• Differentiate approach with strategy
• Define the ACES approach
• Enumerate the advantages and
disadvantages of filmshowing strategy
• Appreciate filmshowing as a teaching and
learning strategy

3. The Confluent Theory as a basis
of the ACES teaching Approach
• The theory provides for the flowing
together and interaction of the affective
and cognitive elements in individual and
group learning
“Theaim of education isan education for
living. It givesameaning and direction to all
wedo- including not only what, but how and
why wemight learn any technical
information.” Kroll (1987)

4. The Teacher as Facilitator of
Affective and Cognitive Learning
“Values are caught, not taught”

5. The ACES teaching approach
• puts a heavy premium on the affective
development of the students not
because the affective scope precedes
the other dimensions, but because the
former serves as the most vital force in
the integration of the students
personality for a fuller and viable way
of life.

6. This Approach therefore makes
the learners become more
aware of themselves, their assets
and liabilities
Learn to maintain and reinforce their
strengths
Replace their liabilities with positive
traits

7. The Teacher as Values Director
Tasks to do:
Processing of Learnings
Directing the Focus of Awareness
Providing Cognitive Inputs
Directing Values to be Learned
Planning with, and Monitoring Action
Learning Styles of the Students

8. The ACES Methodology and Phases of
Value Learning
• Employs both inductive and deductive
method
• Applies the Andragogy or Experiential
Learning Approach

9. Phases of Value Learning
• Learning Trigger Phase
• Values Clarification
• Directive Phase or Inculcation Phase
• Action Phase

11. Seven Elements of Andragogical
Process
1. Climate Setting
A climate of mutual respect
A climate of collaborativeness
A climate of mutual trust
A climate of supportiveness
A climate of openness and authenticity
A climate of pleasure
A climate of humanness

12. Seven Elements of Andragogical
Process
2.Involving learners in mutual planning
3. Involving participants in diagnosing their
needs for learning
4. Involving learners in formulating their
learning objectives
5. Involving learners in designing learning
plans

13. Seven Elements of Andragogical
Process
6. Involving learners carry out their learning
plans
7. Involving learners in evaluating their
learning

15. Film Showing as a Teaching Strategy
• Formerly, films or motion pictures were
thought to be meaning for recreation and
amusement only. Today, they are
increasingly used as a device for teaching.
They are an indispensable means of
education and instruction. They bring an
element of realism into the classroom,
which cannot be obtained by any other
medium of instruction.

16. Film Showing as a Teaching Strategy
• When a film show is going to be arranged,
the teacher should see that it is really
needed in connection with the studies
which are going on. The teacher must
discuss the background of the learning
situations presented in the film show,
previous to presentation. It should serve
the purpose of recapitulation.

17. Advantages
• Films are a comfortable, familiar medium
to contemporary students that can keep
student interest in the theories and
concepts under discussion.
• Students can see the theories and
concepts in action.
• In more than a figurative sense, theories
and concepts leap from the screen.

18. Disadvantages
• Students can vary in their reaction to
actresses, actors, and characters in a film.
• The content of scenes might distract some
students from the theories and concepts
the scenes portray.
• Humor, drama, terror, and language can
distract people.
• Using film scenes in class takes time away
from other classroom activities
