METHODS OF TEACHING
This document discusses different teaching methods, including project method and heuristic method. [1] Project method involves students carrying out purposeful activities and projects, preferably in natural settings, based on various psychological principles of learning like learning by doing. It has steps like planning and executing projects. [2] Heuristic method places students in the role of discoverers as they learn through self-practice. While both methods develop skills like independent thinking, they can be time-consuming and not suitable for completing syllabi or lower-level classes.
