This document discusses teaching models, including definitions, types, characteristics, and elements. It defines teaching models as plans or patterns that can be used to design instruction and guide teachers. Four modern teaching models are described: information processing, social interaction, personal, and behavior modification. The key elements of teaching models are also outlined, including focus, syntax, principles of reaction, social system, supportive system, and application context. Overall, the document provides an overview of the concept of teaching models and their purpose in education.

5. INTRODUCTION
Development of Models of teaching is the recent
innovation in teaching. An important purpose of discussing
models of teaching is to assist the teacher to have a wide

environment for learning needs of the students.

system, cycle, objects,
etc.
What are MODELS?

8. What is Teaching Model?
“A model of teaching is a plan or pattern that
can be used to shape curriculums (long-term
courses of studies), to design instructional
materials, and to guide a teacher’s action in the
classroom and other settings”

a pattern or plan, which can be a curriculum or

is a set of interrelated components
arranged in a sequence which provides
guidelines to realise specific goal.

10. Concept of Teaching Model
Aim of The Teaching Model: To Produce Effective Teaching.
Teaching Objectives
Set Induction
Teaching – Learning Activities
Evaluation

11. Main Characteristics of Teaching Models
Specification of learning outcome
Specification on Environment
Specification of criterion of performances
Specification of Operation
Scientific Procedure

12. Function of
Teaching
Model
Formulate a complete &
perfect teaching
scheme.
Enable teachers to
analyze & evaluate its
strengths & weaknesses
so as to plan &
implement appropriate
follow-up actionsAs basic

19. Fundamental Elements of Teaching Model
A Teaching Model has six fundamental elements.

20. It is the central aspect of a teaching model.
It generally describes the purpose of model.
i. Focus

21. ii. Syntax
This is description of how the various phases in the
development of a lesson are sequenced when the
model is translated in to action.
The phases involved in the different models will
differ.
Syntax helps a teacher to use the model,
& how he should begin & proceed further.

22. iii. Principles of Reaction
This defines the nature of reaction expected from
the teacher to every pupil activity.
The principles of reaction give guidance to the
teacher as to how he is expected to react to each
activity of the learners, to suit the characteristics
of the model selected.

23. It helps to maintain interactive roles and
relationships between the teacher and students.

Support system demands some
special skill, knowledge & capacities
from the teacher or some special aid
like films, self instructional system &
a flexible schedule.

25. vi. Application
It describes the application aspect.
This element helps to describe the feasibility of
the models in varying contexts, achieving specific
educational goal and demanding specific work
environment.

26. Merits of models in Teaching
It is a natural way of teaching and learning.
It is helpful in developing the power of imagination
of the students.
It helps in the developments of reasoning power
of the students.
It saves the energy, time and efforts
of the teachers.

27.  It helps the students to analyze things
