This document contains a student's responses to a test on facilitating learning. It includes: 1) Multiple choice and true/false questions identifying different teaching methods and strategies. 2) Two essay questions where the student discusses the best approach for teaching elementary/high school students and the methodology they would use for college students. 3) An explanation of why exploratory strategy uses a facilitative method.

2. LONG TEST - FINALS
I. TRUE or FALSE
TRUE 1. In Metacognitive Teaching, learners are trained to become aware of & exert
control over their own learning by using metacognitive processes.
TRUE 2. In Inquiry Teaching, learners are confronted with a puzzling situation & are led
to enter into investigative work to solve the problem.
FALSE 3. In Expository Strategies or Direct Instruction, the Desired Outcomes are
development & formulation of concept, principles, attitudes & values.
FALSE 4. In Exploratory Strategies or Guided Instruction, the Learning Environments are
similar.
FALSE 5. One of the characteristics of the Exploratory Strategy is less delivery time.
II. ESSAY: Compose a one-paragraph essay with not less than thirty (30) words & must be
in brief. (5pts.) each
A. In your viewpoint, what is the best approach in Methodology of Teaching the
Basic Elementary & High School students? Why?
Basic education will serve as the total foundation of the students. They must be
filled with theories and academics to prepare them for a life-changing stage which is the
college education. As I foresee it, Expository Strategy or didactic method would best apply.
With these students’ brackets, they will need tough orientation on how facts, principles and
laws are applied by presenting, defining and interpreting by the teacher himself so that
knowledge can be internalized by these students. After which testing of the concepts on how
they are used to applied be performed to prove that it works by the learners themselves.

3. Meanwhile, this method requires no more time of delivery and as a Teacher-Controlled
method, the teacher can directly initiate ways on how students can outperform in the class.
After all, it is a facilitator’s promise of instilling values and behavior to the learners as they
step atop.
B. What effective methodology are you going to use in teaching college men?
Why will you use it? Explain in brief.
In the light of practice in teaching as my profession to the college men I will apply the
Laboratory Method. College education is a life itself not a preparation for life. They must be
trained rigorously from theories, laws, policies, rules and guidance or PRG’s to application.
This is to depict that with my extensive industry experience, technical know-how seems a
major requisite in the workplace. Learners must be injected into the realities of their chosen
field. Classroom training must serve as their first hand educational learning ground wherein
the learners may investigate a problem, conduct experiments, observe processes, or apply
theories & principles in a simulated setting. Laboratory activities will cultivate students’ skills
in the basic and advanced learning, enhance higher order of critical thinking skills, induct
learners into scientific processes, enrich and unleash their skills that will be cultivated in the
real World of Work.

4. C. Why is it that one of the characteristics in Exploratory Strategy is the
Facilitative Method? Explain further.
Exploratory Strategy is a teaching strategy which aims to formulate concepts,
principles, skills, attitudes & values and the like. To attain these aims, it uses facilitative
method which encourages more active participation of the learners through inquiry teaching,
inductive process and even teacher facilitative method. From a certain knowledge, the
learners can generate another area of the knowledge discussed, arrived certain facts,
principles and laws may deem necessary to apply. Acquisition of knowledge and details with
differences and commonalities of an entities or element concern may form definition of rules,
conclusion, and generalization. At first, learners are active while the subject matter are
presented and they become much more interactive as part of the learning body. The open
line of communication by defined and set media is observed however respect prevails at all
times. An idea presented by each learner is consider while exploring the truth behind
inquiries. Exploratory strategy uses facilitative method to maximize the innate critical thinking
skills of learners to acquire general acceptable knowledge as contribution to the learning
curve of each learner.
