The document discusses pedagogical practices that can provide authentic learning experiences. It begins by defining authentic education as considering learners' psychological characteristics and learning preferences. It then describes several of the author's practices, including question-based lecture delivery, focusing curricula on key concepts, allocating sufficient time for assessments, and emphasizing generalized learning. The goal is to engage diverse learners through inclusive, experiential practices that promote deep understanding over superficial knowledge.
The document discusses various teaching methods including discussion, case study, simulation, and pair/small group work. For discussion, the key points are that it allows for active student involvement, processing of ideas, and practice formulating questions. However, it is not effective for conveying factual information and can be time consuming without direction. For case studies and simulations, the advantages are greater student involvement and application of principles to realistic scenarios. Pair/small group work actively engages students in problem solving and learning from each other.
Recent techniques and methods of teaching part - trapBeulahJayarani
It discuss about Recent techniques and methods of teaching -"PART - TRAP". It also discuss about what is education, teaching, innovation and types of recent trends in teaching learning method. It also explains about expansion of PART AND TRAP. Benefits and conclusion too.
The document discusses various teaching strategies including drill work, review, assignment, and inductive and deductive methods. Drill work involves revising lessons through repetition and practice. Review involves recalling past lessons to strengthen understanding. Assignment refers to supplemental self-study to complement classroom lessons. Inductive teaching moves from specific examples to general principles, while deductive teaching moves from broad concepts to specific applications. Both methods have benefits like developing understanding, but inductive is better for beginners while deductive is more efficient.
This document discusses ways to improve education by making it more authentic and addressing individual psychological and neurological needs. It argues that current practices often fail to consider differences in how students learn and process information. Specifically, it recommends catering to different learning styles and overexcitabilities in gifted students. It also advocates shifting the focus to higher-order thinking in both teaching and assessment, rather than just memorization. Providing sufficient time for learning and assessment is also emphasized to account for how the brain naturally learns. The document concludes by discussing ways to increase student motivation and minimize the influence of socioeconomic factors on educational outcomes.
Inductive Learning or uncovering genius in the classroomDr. Bill Butler
This document discusses inductive and deductive learning styles and their implications for teaching. Inductive learners prefer to learn from examples and experiences to infer broader principles, while deductive learners prefer starting with principles and deducing consequences. Most college classes are taught deductively as it is easier, but this may not align with all students' styles. Teachers should understand different styles and assess their own, know their students' goals and perceptions, and use both inductive examples and deductive principles in their teaching to engage more learners.

The deductive, inductive and recitation method of teachingGenaro de Mesa, Jr.
The document discusses three teaching methods: the deductive method, inductive method, and recitation method. The deductive method involves applying generalizations to solve problems, moving from general to specific. The inductive method moves from specific to general by having students discover rules through examples. The recitation method was traditionally teacher-centered but modern innovations make it more student-centered through techniques like problem-solving, discussions, and creative expression. Strengths and weaknesses of each method are also outlined.
Factors and Principles in Choosing Teaching MethodChristian LS
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.
Application of modern teaching methods in nursing educationSoheir Elbanna
This session introduces modern teaching methods and provides an example of their application in nursing education. It discusses traditional teacher-centered methods where teachers hold knowledge and students are passive learners. Modern methods are learner-centered, interactive, collaborative, and use gamification, self-learning, visual/audio/kinesthetic approaches, and flipped classrooms. An example shows applying modern methods to teach operating room nursing procedures by overcoming gaps between skills lab and clinical placement environments.
This document discusses various teaching methods used in medical education, including lectures, demonstrations, group discussions, and panel discussions. It provides details on the strengths and limitations of each method. Lectures are effective for presenting new information to large groups but rely heavily on the teacher and provide limited opportunities for assessment. Demonstrations help students learn skills through observation but may not suit different learning styles. Group discussions allow for active participation but can be challenging to facilitate. Overall, the document aims to inform medical educators on teaching approaches and how to effectively engage students.
Direct instruction is an explicit teaching method that involves clearly explaining concepts in small steps, demonstrating skills, and checking for student understanding along the way. It is most effective for teaching basic skills and facts through a step-by-step process. For direct instruction to be successful, the teacher must maintain classroom control, focus on academics, carefully choose and clearly present tasks, and continuously diagnose student progress. Conceptual change and constructivist approaches focus on students developing their own understanding by building on and challenging their prior knowledge through open-ended learning experiences.
This document discusses limitations of current educational practices and ways to provide more authentic learning experiences. It argues that education should cater to individual psychological and neurological needs by addressing things like overexcitabilities in gifted learners. It also argues that education should not expect ideal learners, focus more on higher-order learning than facts, align assessments to learning, consider timing factors in learning, motivate learners through generalized knowledge, and not rely too heavily on socioeconomic factors or have non-educational bodies set the agenda. The goal is to minimize negative practices and provide deeper, more authentic learning.
This document provides guidance for developing an effective teaching method. It recommends that lecturers understand student profiles, prepare presentations while updating their subject knowledge, and use a mix of teacher-centered and learner-centered methods. Teacher-centered methods allow control but are less engaging while learner-centered methods like group discussions make students more active. The document also discusses Bloom's taxonomy of learning objectives and evaluating teaching methods based on achieving objectives and student enjoyment. Overall it aims to help lecturers understand how students learn and devise engaging assessments.
This document discusses various teaching methods and objectives. It begins by defining teaching and methods. It then outlines the objectives of teaching as developing cognition, affective skills, and psychomotor abilities. Several teaching techniques are described in detail like direct instruction, indirect instruction, discussion, cooperative learning and self-directed learning. Specific methods like lecture, demonstration, debate and role playing are also explained. Finally, it lists 30 teaching methods used by the Holy Prophet Muhammad including repetition, memorization, questioning, storytelling, demonstration and practice.
The document outlines seven guiding principles for selecting effective teaching strategies: (1) Learning is active and involves hands-on activities, (2) Using multiple senses enhances learning, (3) A positive classroom environment without threats improves learning, (4) Emotion increases retention, (5) Meaningful connections to students' lives aids learning, (6) Teaching should go beyond recall to higher-order thinking, (7) An integrated approach addressing multiple intelligences and learning styles is most effective. The document advocates using brain-based strategies like visual aids, songs, projects and hands-on activities to create meaningful and engaging lessons. There is no single best method; teachers should consider objectives, content, students and policies to choose

Principles of Teaching:Different Methods and Approachesjustindoliente
The document discusses different approaches and methods for teaching. It defines key concepts like teaching approach, strategy, method, and technique. It also provides examples of different teaching approaches that range from teacher-centered to learner-centered. Direct instruction/lecture and demonstration are two methods discussed in more detail. For direct instruction, steps include demonstrating skills or concepts and providing guided and independent practice. Formative assessment is used during the process. Demonstration involves a teacher or student showing a process while others observe, and guidelines are provided for effective demonstrations.
The document discusses the subject-centered curriculum model proposed by Ralph Tyler in 1949. It focuses on organizing education around specific subject matter like math or science rather than the individual student. Key aspects include selecting content based on the logic of the subject, teaching students in a traditional classroom setting, emphasizing skills practice and intellectual development, and assessing students based on how much of the predetermined subject content they have learned. While it can promote intellectual growth, critics argue it is not student-centered and may lack engagement if it does not consider individual learning styles.
Nature, concepts and purposes of curriculummemaine_027
The document discusses the concepts of curriculum, teaching, and learning. It defines curriculum as the total learning experience, both planned and unplanned. Teaching is described as a three-phase process of planning, implementing, and evaluating lessons. Learning theories include behavioral and cognitive approaches. The relationship between teaching and learning is that teaching is the cause and learning is the effect, with the quality of one impacting the other.
The document discusses several instructional approaches and methodologies including modular instruction, discovery approach, conceptual approach, process approach, inquiry approach, and others. Modular instruction allows students to learn at their own pace. The discovery approach guides students to discover concepts through observation and questioning. The conceptual approach focuses on big ideas rather than isolated topics. The process approach emphasizes learning by doing. The inquiry approach involves seeking knowledge through research and investigation. Other methodologies discussed include whole group instruction, role playing, simulations, and small group work.
Inquiry-based learning starts with students asking questions about a topic, which drives their investigation into new material. It is motivated by student curiosity and allows them to learn at their own level. While it requires student participation, the teacher guides the inquiry process and connects learning to curriculum outcomes. Assessments focus on essential understandings rather than surface-level content. Examples of inquiry-based learning commonly come from science classes, where students develop questions and hypotheses to answer through hands-on activities and research.
The document discusses various teaching-learning strategies including microteaching, team teaching, experimental learning, programmed instructions, and simulation teaching. Microteaching involves teaching short lessons to small groups of students with a focus on developing specific teaching skills. It follows a cycle of planning, teaching, receiving feedback, and re-teaching. Team teaching involves two or more teachers jointly teaching the same class. Experimental learning involves learning through direct experiences. Programmed instructions break down lessons into small steps with immediate feedback. Simulation teaching approximates real-life situations to allow students to practice applying concepts.
This document provides guidelines for effective questioning techniques and lesson planning. It discusses calling on students randomly, using a variety of question types, waiting 3-5 seconds after asking a question before calling on a student, having students respond to each other's answers, and relating questions to students' lives. The document also contrasts deductive and inductive instructional approaches and direct instruction techniques like explicit teaching and guided practice.
Learning is a continuous process that involves acquiring knowledge, skills, and adapting to one's environment through changes in behavior. It can occur consciously or unconsciously through experiences. There are several theories that describe the learning process, such as reinforcement theory and social learning theory. The learning process typically involves receiving information, accepting it, assimilating it, storing it, and applying it. Effective learning principles include ensuring the content is relevant and motivating, providing feedback, and using active, multi-sensory techniques that incorporate repetition and practice.
The document discusses teaching, learning, and their relationship to curriculum development. It defines teaching as a process that stimulates and guides learning, while learning is defined as a change in behavior through experience. The teaching-learning process involves planning activities and lessons, implementing them, and evaluating outcomes. Effective teaching creates meaningful learning opportunities and considers learners' needs, available resources, and strategies to achieve objectives. Teaching and learning are interdependent and give life to the curriculum.
The document outlines a teaching schema called the "Teaching Schema for Master Learners" which consists of 6 steps: 1) Set the goal/benchmark, 2) Access prior knowledge, 3) Acquire new information, 4) Apply knowledge, 5) Generalize or summarize, and 6) Assign homework. Each step is described in 1-2 sentences. For example, step 1 involves identifying conceptual benchmarks and daily objectives, while step 2 aims to stimulate prior knowledge through activities or questions. The document also discusses providing ongoing feedback and includes an example lesson plan applying the 6 steps.
Similar to HI13-326 Subtle But Important Pedagogical Practices Yielding Authentic Learning Experience (20)
An authentic education system provides several key benefits according to the document. It allows for unique identification of learners by considering their psychological and neurological characteristics, embracing diversity. This leads to more inclusive practices. It also allows learners to pursue higher order learning and complete learning cycles to reach their full potential. Finally, an authentic education framework values human resources over economic aspects and allows for sustainable social development by helping individuals become more satisfied, productive members of society.
We have identified goals of education by viewing them from the point of neuroscience; through education, we have to produce individuals who are better problem solvers and decision. To achieve this goal, learners will have to transform what they have learned explicitly into implicit memories and vice versa. Further, through education, we enhance learner consciousness and wisdom. A number of pedagogical practices that are useful in achieving the above goals are presented. When new contents are presented in a teaching-learning environment, high-level concepts need to be highlighted; the concepts are likely to penetrate through multiple domain areas thus helping learners to form better neural networks of knowledge. In order to reach out to multiple brain regions, we need to get the frontal lobe involved essentially and hence the pace of presentation has to be controlled appropriately; as the frontal lobe connects to many brain regions, the processing occurs relatively slowly. The important task of motivating learners can be done by presenting learners with neuroscience-based facts about learning; even difficult content can be mastered by simply paying attention elaborately; human brains have the feature of plasticity and through learning, neural networks can grow throughout the lifespan. Taking into consideration the phenomenon of binocular rivalry - human brains can concentrate only on one thing at a time fully- we should encourage learners to engage in the discussion in a teaching-learning session fully. When setting assessment, we should focus on open-ended, novel conceptual questions so that learners use their frontal lobes connecting many other regions as well.
An authentic education system conceptualizes learning that embraces diversity and neurodiversity. It allows unique identification of learners through their psychological and neurological characteristics. This helps provide inclusive practices and minimize misdiagnoses. An authentic system also allows learners to pursue higher order learning and complete learning cycles. This enhances their potential to achieve at higher levels, not limited by assessments targeting lower order thinking. Overall, an authentic system promises significant benefits by facilitating positive social change and valuing human resources beyond mere economic aspects.
This document provides an overview of authentic education from psychological, neurological, human development, and pedagogical perspectives. It discusses how authentic education recognizes different learning styles and personalities. It emphasizes assessing students' general learning attributes rather than subject-specific knowledge. Authentic education aims to provide enriching learning environments that support growth of brain structures through students' lifespan.
This paper examines the benefits of applying a priority queueing framework called Priority Queuing with Lower Real Time Utilization Threshold (PQ-LRTU) to Optical Burst Switching (OBS) networks. The researchers use simulation software to show that PQ-LRTU can help overcome the effects of self-similar traffic on OBS networks. Their results show that the burst assembling/disassembling process in OBS introduces additional latency compared to non-OBS networks. However, they also find that there is an optimal real-time utilization threshold between 0.3-0.4 that can minimize delay across different aggregation levels in OBS networks.
1) The document discusses the author's views and experiences as a student, tutor, and sessional lecturer.
2) It outlines the author's understanding of teaching as guiding students to actively learn through thinking about material rather than just covering surface facts.
3) The author's ideal teacher would provide an overall picture of a subject before deeper dives, encourage preparation and discussion over one-way lectures, and foster curious, high-achieving students.
This document outlines a framework called Priority Queue with Lower Real-Time Utilization (PQ-LRTU) for providing quality of service guarantees for real-time traffic over the Internet in the presence of bursty self-similar traffic. The key aspects of the framework are: (1) Using priority queuing to give real-time traffic higher priority while maintaining a lower real-time utilization threshold, (2) This allows exploiting statistical multiplexing gains while controlling queue size and delay, (3) The framework provides benefits when applied to Optical Burst Switching (OBS) in the optical domain by reducing additional latency from burst assembly/disassembly.

2. Introduction
• Within the broad definition of authentic education, individual
educational practitioners can develop and use certain
methodologies to provide learners with an authentic learning
experience.
• In this paper, the author first briefs on the essence of
authentic education and then put forth some methodologies
he has used in the past, reflectively, promoting this
conceptualised view.
• We also highlight in the paper how these practices help
getting the focus of visual spatial, or gifted, learners, who are
more vulnerable in traditional environments, to the teaching-
learning context.
2
3. Conceptualising Authentic Education
• Within an authentic education framework, as
the author conceptualises,
• Learners’ individual psychological and neurological
characteristics are given consideration and
accepted as they are, promoting inclusive practices.
• For example, emotional and other high sensitivities
commonly found in gifted and creative personnel are not
considered as constraints, rather they enrich a
neurodiverse society to operate in a more balanced
manner.
3
4. Conceptualising Authentic Education(Contd.)
• Learning preferences of auditory sequential learners
as well as visual spatial learners are given
consideration equally and unbiasedly
• These preferences are mapped into to related career paths
so that individuals of both categories enjoy their work more
naturally, or intrinsically.
• Learners with high developmental potential, meaning
the inclination towards developing in to a highly
empathetic, satisfied and productive human being,
get conducive environments to reach higher levels of
development, similar to a self-actualised state.
4
5. Conceptualising Authentic Education(Contd.)
• An authentic education system sends learners through a
lasting deep learning and critical thinking experience, for
which human brains are capable of under conducive
teaching-learning environments
• Human brains are treated as parallel processors that are
capable of dealing with multiple inputs and solving
complex problems unlike machines, or computers that are
good at executing routine steps in reaching specific
answers at very high speeds
5
6. Conceptualising Authentic Education(Contd.)
• Following the fundamentals of neuroscience, many physical
parts of the brains are incorporated into learning with
methodologies similar to Kolb’s experiential learning cycle and
constructivist theory of learning.
• Learning has physical meaning in which neurons in the brain
grow to develop dense communication network indicating deep
learning, as opposed to surface, or superficial learning, has
taken place.
• In an authentic educational practice, learner evaluation is done
using generic learning attributes that are associated with
learners’ intrinsic characteristics, instead of an indication of how
well a learner has prepared in a specific area of study prior to an
assessment.

7. Question Based Lecture Delivery
• The author has extensively used a methodology he
refers to as question based lecture delivery.
• In that, a usual lecture is presented to the learners as a series of
questions posed at them.
• These questions are usually open ended, and can be answered within a
few minutes.
• The same material that we would deliver in a typical lecture is now
presented as the answers to these set of questions presented.
•
• The idea here is to deviate from the traditional didactic approach to
teaching and engage learners in a discussion, or follow a dialectic
approach.
• By asking questions, the author attempts to get the learners’ attention
to the discussion, or get them more actively involved in the learning
process.
7
8. Question Based Lecture Delivery (Contd.)
– Generally, if we are asked a question, we tend to get excited and pay
more attention to it than we merely hear it, especially in a monotonic
tone.
– Further the time gaps between asking and answering the question, help
the learners to reflect on and construct the answer.
– Considering the fact that the human brain is a parallel processor that
operates relatively slowly than a typical machine, or sequential operator,
this approach allows more time for learners to engage in learning more
deeply, or relate the information to what one already knows
– Even though the learners are introduced, most probably, with some new
learning material, the open ended questions posed at them encourage
them to think open-mindedly,
8
9. Question Based Lecture Delivery (Contd.)
– The question based lecture delivery method has the positive by-product
of making it easy to align assessment to learning.
• If the facilitator wishes so, the assessment questions can also be constructed
similar to the questions used during lecture delivery.
• If assessment is aligned to learning this way, the learners will get to know the
nature of the assessments throughout the teaching-learning period, making
them better prepared for the assessment.
• The assessment questions, though based on the type of questions discussed
during the lectures, can be restructured in such a way that they test the
generalised knowledge or concepts that learners are likely to retain longer,
following the study period.
9
10. Question Based Lecture Delivery (Contd.)
• The questions discussed in the lecture are usually made available, or posted
to the students well in advance.
• The author encourages the learners to go through the questions before
coming to the lecture so that they are more prepared to engage in the
discussion.
• The more the number of times you go through any learning material, the
better the understanding, or digestion, of it.
• During the lecture discussion, then they can validate their answers, or
judgements, with the ones presented by the facilitator
• Such a situation will provide a very good feedback loop for learners.
• When learners practice answering these question on their own, prior to the
lecture, it reduces the learners’ reliance on the facilitator.
• The learners will be directed to a path of self-guidance, leading to life-long learning
10
11. Setting Curricular with the Most Important Material
and Concepts in the Study Area
• When conducting courses, we all have to manage our
time effectively; especially when a curriculum is set, we
may not be able include every single important concept
due to the time constraints.
• What we should do, in these situations is to include only
the most important concepts, or material, that we can
effectively and comfortably cover during the allocated
time period.
• Any important generic knowledge or concepts can be given
more prominence than to any specific knowledge in the area.
11
12. Setting Curricular with the Most Important Material
and Concepts in the Study Area(Contd.)
• We may be introducing the learners to a new area of
study, but we should not be guided by the notion that
we have to highlight every single point in the class for
the learners to get to know it.
– In this modern era, information gets to one’s table quickly and
economically.
– What we should be doing is to motivate the learners to inquire more
and find out, possibly with the help of some references and pointers
given.
– We may raise the curiosity of the learners to engage in exploring and
finding out through intrinsic motivation.
12
13. Allocating Adequate Time for Undertaking
Assessments
• Similar to the way we pay attention to decide the
coverage of our curricular within a limited time study
period, we need to pay attention to the amount of
content we include in our assessment, especially the
timed ones.
• The learners need to read and understand the questions,
formulate answers, before writing them down.
• All these tasks require appropriate times allocated.
• Given that the assessments are not focused on mere
recalling and application of facts, the learners have to
provide non robotic, well-constructed answers
13
14. Allocating Adequate Time for Undertaking
Assessments(Contd.)
• By allocating adequate time for completing
assessment, we are inherently addressing the needs
of diverse learner cohorts, a main focus of authentic
learning environments.
– Some learners would need more time to formulate their
answers depending on their intrinsic personal
characteristics.
• For example, as research findings indicate visual spatial learners
usually do comparatively badly on timed tests and multiple choice,
objective type, tests and would benefit if time allocations and
selection of question types are done with much care.
14
15. Constructing Assessment Focusing Generalised,
or Higher Order, Learning
• We can align assessment for evaluating higher order
learning.
• Going by the Bloom’s taxonomy, we would test learners’
ability to evaluate and synthesise rather than the ability of
mere recall or application.
• Ability to synthesise indicates the ability to generalise
• that is from a set of more specific details, learners will be able to identify
commonalities, resulting generalisation.
• When a learner is able to generalise, he or she can use that
generic information or knowledge beyond the area of study
in which it was introduced;
• learners will be able to apply this generalised knowledge to other areas of study, other
disciplines or more general situations they face in the day to day life
15
16. Practical Work to Support Learning Abstract
Theory, not Distinct from Each Other
• In a course curricular, we should include practical
work or laboratory experiments to support learners
to understand abstract theories or concepts.
– They should not be standalone components used purely to
improve learner skills.
– If our intension is to improve learner skill of using some
tools or doing experiments, we would not be able fulfil our
requirements due to the limited time frame we have.
• Usually, if we want to master a skill of using a tool or apparatus,
we need to spend a reasonably large amount of time practicing it;
16
17. Taking Appropriate Measures to Improve
Learner Motivation
• There could be a number of reasons why learners get
motivated or not.
– These reasons could be personal, organisational or social.
• However, as practitioners in pedagogy, we may be able to
contribute positively in motivating our learners.
– The author identifies that if we highlight the general usefulness of the
content we cover or concepts we highlight in the teaching-learning
sessions, it will make learners more motivated.
• This is in contrast to highlighting a more specific contents or concepts that
would only be useful in some restricted situations or applications.
• Generally, the learners will be more motivated to learn something that will be
useful to them in future someway
17
18. Taking Appropriate Measures to Improve
Learner Motivation(Contd.)
• As pedagogical practitioners, what we could do is to
conduct our courses in such a way that contents or
concepts from a specific area are more generalised and
presented to the learners in a manner that they are
useful for more generic applications, or day to day life
situations.
– We have to be broad in the selection and presentation of
our content or concepts, rather than being narrow.
– Highlighting and passing generalised knowledge essentially
put us on a path to higher order learning.
18
19. Conclusion
• In this paper, we highlighted some of the very
important but subtle methodologies we can use as
practitioners of pedagogy to provide an authentic
educational experience to our learners.
• Although these methodologies do not seem oblivious
to us superficially, more reflective observations
convince us that we can improve immensely in our
practices so that no student groups are
disadvantaged.
19
20. Conclusion (Contd.)
• We, as educators, need to understand the subtlety of
the methodologies so that they can be used more
effectively in yielding individualised learning
experiences to the diverse learner cohorts, as
highlighted in concepts of authentic education.
• Further, these methodologies have the promise of
sending the learners through a deeper learning
experience with more lasting outcomes.
