The document discusses key principles in determining the best teaching method. It identifies six factors to consider when choosing a method: 1) learners, 2) subject matter, 3) objectives, 4) time allotment, 5) the teacher, and 6) available equipment and facilities. Effective methods actively engage students, involve multiple senses, create a comfortable learning environment, incorporate emotion, relate content to students' lives, develop higher-order thinking skills through integration rather than isolated facts, with the best method achieving learning objectives.

1. A. Factors in Choosing a Method
B. Principles in Determining Method
Prepared by Christian L. Sabadisto

2. • refer to the regular ways or orderly procedures
• employed by the teacher in guiding the pupils in
order to accomplish the aims of the learning
situation
• is a series of related and progressive acts
performed by the teacher and the pupils to
accomplish the general and specific aims of the
lesson

4. 1. Learners
•the first to consider when choosing a
method
•the characteristics & nature of the
students - age, maturity, grade level,
abilities, interests, growth, health,
problems should be considered for
learning to take place.

5. 2. Subject Matter
•this factor deals with the nature of
the content to be learned which
may be difficult or uninteresting
•the teacher must be able to
use/choose the methods that will
make learning effective &
meaningful.

6. •3. Objectives
•the expected outcome of the lesson
also dictates the strategy to be
used.
•It must be one that will ensure full
achievement of the set objectives.

7. 4. Time Allotment
•how much time does the teacher
have to teach the lesson?
•the strategy must be able to help
target the desired outcomes within
the time frame.

8. 5. Teacher
•the teacher's style, academic
preparation, skills, interest & abilities
are also points of consideration.
•it is important that he/she could
effectively execute the method/strategy
of his/her choice to ensure success of
learning.

9. 6. School Equipment & Facilities
•the availability of materials,
devices & technologies needed
should be considered for the lack
of them may hamper the
achievement of the target.

11. 1. Learning is an active process.
•we have to actively engage our students in
learning activities if we want them to learn
what we tend to teach
•We have to give varied activities to them for
“hands-on-minds-on” learning.

12. “Tell me, I’ll forget;
Show me, I’ll remember;
Involve me, I’ll understand.”
Chinese Proverb

13. 2. The more senses that are involved in
learning, the more and the better the
learning.
•Utilizing method that makes use of
multisensory aid (combination of three or more
senses aid) is more effective.

14. 3. A non-threatening atmosphere
enhances learning.
•It is not only a function of the physical
condition of the classroom but more a function
of the psychological climate that prevails in the
classroom.

15. 4. Emotion has the power to increase
retention and learning.
•The more emotionally involved our students
become in our lesson, the greater impact. The
more intense the arousal, the stronger the
imprint.

16. 5. Learning is meaningful when it is
connected to student’s everyday life.
•Abstract, concepts are made understandable
when we give sufficient examples relating to
the students’ experience.

17. 6. Good Teaching goes beyond recall
information.
•Our teaching should reach the levels of
application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
to hone our students’ thinking skills.

18. 6. Good Teaching goes beyond recall
information.
•Our teaching should reach the levels of
application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
to hone our students’ thinking skills.

19. 7. An integrated teaching approach is far
more effective than teaching isolated bits of
information.
•An instructional approach is integrated when it
considers the multiple intelligences and varied
learning styles (LS) of students. (Corpuz and
Salandan, 2003)

21. 8. There is no such thing as best teaching
method. The best method is the one that
works, the one that yields results.
