This document discusses general methods of teaching, including maxims, features, and planning phases of teaching. It outlines several important maxims of teaching like moving from simple to complex concepts. Key features of effective teaching mentioned are stimulation, planning, organization, and creating a democratic learning environment. Planning phases discussed are pre-active (formulating objectives, sequencing content), interactive (actual classroom teaching and interaction), and post-active (evaluation).

Planning (
Phases)of Teaching

8. General Methods of Teaching (GMT)
Planning (Phases)of Teaching
Planning is the process of creating a roadmap for
teaching and learning that defines the goals,
content, and methods to be used in the
classroom.
Effective planning is essential for creating a well-
structured and engaging learning experience that
supports student success

I- Pre-Active Phaseof Teaching
M. Lawrence Stolurow names it the Pre-Tutorial phase of teaching. The following
operations are carried out at the planning stage.
Formulation of Instructional Objectives (in the light of pupil entry
behavior)
Taking decision about the content or subject matter (to be taught)
Sequencing elements of the content or subject matter
Deciding teaching strategies to be adopted
Distributing the teaching strategies

II- Interactive Phase
of Teaching
 This phase refers to the execution of the plan made during the pre-
active phase. This is actual classroom teaching.
 In this phase, the teacher gives students the learning experiences
through some suitable modes. In this phase, teachers give learners a
pre-determined environment.
 The teacher interacts with students so that desired changes can be
brought in the learner. So learning is directed in pre-determined
directions to achieve pre-determined goals.

II- Interactive Phase
of Teaching
This phase of teaching includes all those activities which a teacher uses after entering the
classroom, includes actual teaching done in the classroom. Operations of teaching at
interactive phase:
 Setting up the Class
 Knowing the Learners
 Start teaching

III - Post- Active Phase of Teaching
It is the evaluation phase of teaching. It arises when the teacher has left the class and tries to
