This document discusses the benefits and effectiveness of lecture-based teaching. It argues that while new teaching styles are emerging, lectures remain one of the most effective ways to convey information due to their ability to provide a steady flow of knowledge from an expert. Lectures create momentum around a subject and help students focus without distractions. Studies show students who receive lectures learn more than those exposed to other methods. The document provides tips for preparing and delivering effective lectures, such as structuring the content, timing delivery, and using examples. Overall, it advocates that lectures be maintained as a traditional teaching method rather than discarded due to newer approaches.
The document discusses several teaching methods: lecture method, demonstration method, discussion method, panel method, synthetic method, peer-tutoring method, and programmed teaching method. For each method, advantages and disadvantages are provided, as well as examples of subjects each method could be applied to. The overall document serves to outline and compare different teaching strategies teachers have at their disposal.
This document discusses three autocratic teaching methods: lecture method, demonstration method, and tutorial method.
The lecture method involves one-way communication from teacher to students and works best for introducing new topics or factual information to large groups. However, it risks boring students and lacks interactivity.
The demonstration method shows students how to perform skills or experiments. It is well-suited when equipment is expensive, dangerous for students to use, or multiple experiments are sequenced. Demonstrations work best when followed by student activities.
The tutorial method involves one-on-one or small group question and answer sessions between a teacher and students. It is personalized but expensive and risks over-identifying students with their tutor.

An educational model consists of compiling different pedagogical theories to guide teaching and learning. It abstracts from real teaching behaviors and can represent learning or teaching theories. Knowing educational models helps teachers develop curricula and generate better classroom results. Traditional models focus on study programs without social factors, using lectures. 21st century models respond to economic/technological changes and develop skills for students' future careers. Effective learning models for students include hands-on activities, collaborative projects, experiential learning, and direct instruction.
The lecture method involves an oral presentation by a teacher to convey information to students on a particular subject. The teacher talks continuously while students listen and take notes. It allows a large number of students to be taught at once in an economical way. However, it has disadvantages like low student participation and lack of feedback. For effective use, the teacher should speak clearly, use examples, encourage note-taking, question students, and consider different learning speeds.

LEADERSHIP AND CORPORATE CHARACTER KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF CORPORATE CHARACTERPROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS CHARACTER
What is the definition of a character?
Britannica Dictionary definition of CHARACTER. 1. [Count]: the way someone thinks, feels, and behaves: someone's personality — usually singular. He rarely shows his true character—that of a kind and sensitive person.
Leadership vs Character
Great leadership is a combination of competence, character, and commitment. Character is an individual's unique combination of internalized beliefs and moral habits that motivates and shapes how that individual relates to others.
Why Character Matters in Leadership
Every leader wants to be successful. But sometimes, the results achieved come at the cost of character. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. suggested that the most dangerous person is likely gifted with reason but no morals. A blind passion for results damages a leader's reputation and the organization. Evidence from workplace studies on the benefits of character suggests that leaders with high character scores outperform others on company performance metrics. Leadership behaviors guide actions, but a leader's character determines how and if the leader acts. Great leadership is a combination of competence, character, and commitment. This article provides three practical steps to help you develop your character strengths and pass your next character test.
Why is Character Important to Your Success?
Leadership creates moments not defined by policy or procedures - situations where leaders have to choose between right and right.
Every day you make character decisions, consciously or unconsciously, such as between speed or quality and long-term or short-term results. The impact of these decisions either reinforces your team's desired or undesired thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In a study of executive leaders and their organizations over a two-year period, CEOs who scored high on aspects of character had an average return on assets (ROA) of 9.35%, in contrast to CEOs with low ratings had a ROA of 1.93%.
Leadership character is shown to align the leader-follower relationship, increasing both leader and follower productivity, effectiveness, and creativity. Leadership character plays a vital role in unifying a team.
Followers will give more when they respect the leader's character. A focus on helping others is essential to providing effective strategic leadership. Also, character helps leaders navigate change more effectively.
Our purpose in this volume is to introduce you to the concepts of strategic public relations. Our basic assumption is that you have some general knowledge of management and business terminology; we will help you to apply that to the discipline of public relations. Our text is based in current research and scholarly knowledge of the public relations discipline as well as years of experience in professional public relations practice.
Whether you are reading this book to teach a new field, simply to update your knowledge, or as part of an educational program or course, we value every moment that you spend with it. Therefore, we have eliminated much of the academic jargon found in other books and used a straightforward writing style. We tried to make the chapters short enough to be manageable, but packed with information, without an overreliance on complicated examples or charts and diagrams. We hope that our no-nonsense approach will speed your study.
We use a few original public relations case studies that we have written for you so that you can see the concepts we discuss illustrated and applied. This book is divided into three large parts:
What is fraud?
A fraud is defined as a wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. "He was convicted of fraud" a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
What is Fraud Law?
In law, fraud is intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law (e.g., a fraud victim may sue the fraud perpetrator to avoid the fraud or recover monetary compensation) or criminal law (e.g., a fraud perpetrator may be prosecuted and imprisoned by governmental authorities), or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong.
The purpose of fraud may be monetary gain or other benefits, for example by obtaining a passport, travel document, or driver's license, or mortgage fraud, where the perpetrator may attempt to qualify for a mortgage by way of false statements.
Terminology
Fraud can be defined as either a civil wrong or a criminal act. For civil fraud, a government agency or person or entity harmed by fraud may bring litigation to stop the fraud, seek monetary damages, or both. For criminal fraud, a person may be prosecuted for the fraud and potentially face fines, incarceration, or both.
Civil law
In common law jurisdictions, as a civil wrong, fraud is a tort While the precise definitions and requirements of proof vary among jurisdictions, the requisite elements of fraud as a tort generally are the intentional misrepresentation or concealment of an important fact upon which the victim is meant to rely, and in fact does rely, to the harm of the victim. Proving fraud in a court of law is often said to be difficult as the intention to defraud is the key element in question. As such, proving fraud comes with a "greater evidentiary burden than other civil claims". This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that some jurisdictions require the victim to prove fraud by clear and convincing evidence.
The remedies for fraud may include rescission (i.e., reversal) of a fraudulently obtained agreement or transaction, the recovery of a monetary award to compensate for the harm caused, punitive damages to punish or deter the misconduct, and possibly others.
In cases of a fraudulently induced contract, fraud may serve as a defense in a civil action for breach of contract or specific performance of contract. Similarly, fraud may serve as a basis for a court to invoke its equitable jurisdiction.

Next, who is a dependable leader? Being relia-ble or trustworthy leaders means that the followers could trust and rely on them to follow through on their plans and keep promises
(Shapiro, 2014). This article explored how influential leaders help build empathy and know-how to create an environment of trust. Leadership factors are considered on the leader’s goals that will make a credible and effective Government through the process that exemplifies the performance and plans of the Government. Also, this article examined how steward leaders help create trust with their fol-lowers. Finally, the article re-flected on an example of a credi-ble leader, Bernard Tyson of Kaiser Permanente. Lastly, the article considered the im-portance of credibility as the foundation for effective leader-ship by exploring Kouzes and Posner’s arguments that most people are willing to follow a trustworthy, honest, competent, inspiring, and visionary leader

UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY EMBRACING THE IMPORTANCE OF...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
Preface
This book is based on various experiences in research with student, practitioner and teacher in the Rudolph Kwanue University across the World. The difficulties they faced in understanding research as students, the discoveries about what was applicable and inapplicable in the field as practitioner, and development of the ability to effectively communicate difficult concepts in simple language without avoiding technicality and accuracy have become the basis of this book.
Research methodology is taught as a supporting subject in several ways in many academic disciplines such as health, education, psychology, social work, nursing, public health, library studies, Business and marketing research. The core philosophical base for this book comes from the conviction that, although these disciplines vary in content, their broad approach to a research enquiry is similar. This book, therefore, is addressed to these academic disciplines.
It is true that some disciplines place greater emphasis on quantitative research and some on qualitative research. This Book’s approach to research is a combination of both. Firstly, it is the objective that should decide whether a study be carried out adopting a qualitative or a quantitative approach. Secondly, in real life most research is a combination of both methods.
Though they differ in the philosophy that underpins their mode of enquiry, to a great extent their broad approach to enquiry is similar. The quantitative research process is reasonably well structured whereas the qualitative one is fairly unstructured, and these are their respective strengths as well as weaknesses. This Book strongly believed that both are important to portray a complete picture. In addition, there are aspects of quantitative research that are qualitative in nature. It depends upon how a piece of information has been collected and analyzed.
STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING MONITORING AND SUPERVISORY SKILLS FOR EFFECTIVE LEAD...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
ABSTRACT
The study's goal is to look into and predict the difficulties of effective Leadership in both Public and Private sector experienced in the 2024 AML/CFT and to strengthen their Leadership monitoring and supervisory ability and positions in the Fight against Financial Crime for the year ahead, and to alleviate the negative consequences and impact on professional in the Financial Institutions and we also seek to access their trainings, management objectives, motivation, and communication on supervisory roles. The study established four objectives: (1) The hypotheses: investigated reveals that professional training has a favorable influence on supervisory skills, (2) AML has less trained professional and less significance effect on supervisory skills, (3) No Motivations has less or no effect on supervisory skilled Personnel, (4) and none professional Communication posed by supervisory leadership positions have a negative association to the work of AML. Traditional statistical procedures were used to test the results, as well as the usage of chi-square to evaluate significant levels. The suggestions offered would assist leaders in Sierra Leone’s Financial and Business Institutions system in improving their supervision and Monitoring abilities and competencies by using predictive Technologies in the year 2024.
THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IN COMBATING FINANCIAL CRIME IN THE AFRICAN...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
The Need for Effective Leadership is to Promote the fight against Financial Crime in Africa and help to advance Africa Trade Development Agenda
Financial Crime is a major African problem, and combating it requires effective leadership at all levels.
Africa remains at high risk of Financial Crime distress, and the risks have risen in the context of recent large fiscal deficits...
All sectors of African’s Leadership must either act now or never! African Leaders often say that criminal activities are like a lifestyle in the African’s continent: but if left undealt with, the consequences will have adverse effect and will destroy the economic development of Africa and lessen the trust in our Public and Private Institutions. Similarly, leaders must build up effective Political governance within their institutions, the Will and capacity needed to crack down on Financial Crime agents or agencies in the areas of Money Laundering, Counter Terrorism Financing, Fraud, Drug deals, Bribery and Corruption and smugglers, why? Because these criminals have a lot of criminal strategies to evade our African Territories – for example, if they are restricted in the land routes – they would use sea routes- when they are restricted on the seas they use the air. That’s why targeted interventions often have limited impact on Financial Crime and criminal activities in Africa: we need to look at the Leadership capacities and effectiveness in pursing the African Continental Free Trade Zone Area agenda as a big picture, besides the good initiatives and benefits therein it also has negative sides effect of its to tell the whole story of how the criminals are moving on Roads, Seas and air (aviation industry), and the poor border crossing security Agencies of Nations in Africa. This Book intends to tell the story of the poor suffering African’s people with few livelihood options. It is a complex story, with many interconnections; at the heart of which the African Continental Free Trade Zone area lies. While Africa has spread a plethora of beneficial innovations around the world, it has also had many negative consequences in both large and small countries through illicit financial outflows: in fact, security problems in the entire nations of Africa are closely related to the development challenges posed by the Money Laundered to finance Terrorism and Civil Conflicts of Africa. Though the side effects of Financial Crime are particularly strong in the African’s poorest countries those least equipped to respond to these impacts are more vulnerable.
This Book looks at how the role of effective Leadership contributes in the fight beyond specific countries Against Financial Crime and illicit financial flows (fin-iffs) in the African region. The Book zeroed in on Financial Crime, illicit Financial Flows, like Money Laundering, Bribery and Corruption and illicit trade to illustrate the larger scale and the need for effectiveness of African Leaders to combat this menaced:

THINKING ON HOW TO KILL THE KILLER BEFORE HE KILLS US ALL WHO IS THE KILLER? ...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
INTRODUCTION
Who is or what is the true Killer of African People? This question has being playing on my mind for years’ and years to months and months to weeks and to days. Well today is the day I attempted to search for answers and to know the true killer of my African People. This article will attempts to suggest some of the killers or what killers African People. This article is not the final answers to the entire Problem. However, I intended to limit the discussions on Political Corruption as one of the main factors that kills everything in the hands of African. So let look at some definitions and characteristics of Political Corruption and its effect in our social-economic development of Africa.
For the purpose of this article I will define corruption and the type of corruption we have
PART 1. Corruption: Its Meaning, Type, and Real-World Example
Introduction Corruption has recently been the subject of substantial theorizing and empirical research, and this has produced a bewildering array of alternative approaches, explanations, typologies and remedies. Corruption is understood as everything from the paying of bribes to civil servants and the simple theft of public purses, to a wide range of dubious economic and political practices in which businesspeople, politicians and bureaucrats enrich themselves. The issue of corruption is an old one, that has re-entered the current political and economic debate from the new interest in the role of the state in the developing world, and from the assumption that the state is an indispensable instrument for economic development, redistribution and welfare. In contrast to the largely rejected “state-dominated” and “state-less” development models, there is now much consensus on the need for an efficient medium-sized state apparatus with a political will and adequate economic policies to ensure economic development. Corruption is seen as counter-productive to the needed economic and political reforms, accountability, transparency, and good governance. The intention of this paper is to classify the various forms of corruption in order to operationalize the concept for analytical and practical purposes. First, different forms of corruption will be outlined. Secondly, corruption will be defined as a particular state-society relationship, and the distinction made between political corruption and bureaucratic corruption. Then two more distinctions will be added, namely between “individual” and “collective” forms of corruption, and corruption as a mechanism of either “upward extraction” or “downward redistribution”. This will sum up to the basic argument that the fight against corruption will have to be placed within a broader agenda of democratization.
This certificate of attendance certifies that an individual attended a Fin-Crime Summit on combating financial crimes. The summit was entitled "The Need for Effective Leadership in Combating Financial Crimes" and was held on September 30, 2023. The individual was awarded 10 continuing development points for attending.
The purpose of this Book is to clear the misunderstanding of many Leaders in the corporate world. Those who believed and lived with the notions that best leaders are meant for the Corporate World and evolution of good leadership is in the world of business; I would want them to have a rethink as I explained the social and societal evolution of good leadership that has impacted the corporate world today. Please come along with me to some historical contextual truth derived from this concept of leadership. This book will deal with styles and concepts of leadership and help to build your understanding as to what is needed to be good leaders in Society. From Chapter to Chapter you will see the chronological order of leaders’ leadership and duty requires of them for better Society, Nations and the World at large.
When people talk about leadership, they mostly want to learn how to be good leaders at work. Leadership in the corporate context is one of the hottest topics in the world, and everyone wants to learn how to become a billionaire and be the best possible boss. However, leadership is not just limited to the work frontier; it extends to all of society. In fact, leadership began as a societal phenomenon much before it evolved into a professional one. In fact, many of the present-day leadership qualities that corporate and professional leaders aspire to are based on the social and political leaders of the yesteryears.
Human beings are social animals and living together in large groups naturally meant that people needed to adopt different roles and accomplish different groups. In order to give structure to society and help society grow and develop, people were naturally divided into leaders and followers. The leaders paved the way and moved from one frontier to another, directing the others, while the followers completed the tasks assigned to them and helped bring the changes about.
It is indeed an honour to be here today. Dr. Sesay, thank you for the kind recommendation, and thank you for giving me the privilege to speak with this 2023/2024 set of matriculants.
Before I present my remarks, I will like to take this opportunity to thank all the lecturers of this great College, who are and always have been committed to the success of every student and continue to take a personal interest in their academic and social development.
With deep felicitation, allow me to welcome you to the commencement of a life-defining experience and a magical opportunity. I heartily congratulate all of you for achieving success in getting a seat in this reputable College.
When I received the information to be the commencement speaker for today, my mind ran back to 14 years ago when I matriculated. I tried to extrapolate from many experiences from matriculation in 2011 to graduation in 2023, and share with you the many lessons I have learnt along the way, while also drawing your attention to steps and thoughts you can guide yourself with as you journey on the path of achieving greatness on this campus.
Why discovering the historical Context: Throughout history, great leaders have emerged, each with particular leadership styles
Leadership in itself is a somewhat fluid principle. Generally, most leaders adapt their leadership styles to suit their situation. This is particularly true the longer they lead; they adapt their leadership style as they learn and engage with their employees.
To become a more successful leader, leaders must understand their current leadership style. In this article, we’ll answer the question “what a leadership style?”, and then look at 6 of the most common leadership styles and their effectiveness.
If you want to advance the agenda of Combating Financial Crime, Illicit deals and Money Laundering in the African Union Continental Free Trade Zone Area you have to specialize on Financial Investigations.
Developing an investigative plan, subject profiles, analyzing and charting financial flows, preparing an evidence matrix and utilizing international cooperation channels provides the foundation to conducting an effective financial investigation.
Background: Financial Investigations
One of the biggest challenges for African Union Continental Free Trade Zone Area is in the asset recovery case to produce the evidence that links the assets to criminal activities (property-based confiscation) or establishes the amount of the benefit derived from an offense (value-based confiscation). To establish this link, practitioners in the AfCFTA must identify and trace assets or “follow the money” until the link with the offense or the location of the assets can be determined.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

As technology advances and becomes more capable,
there are many new teaching styles coming into play.
There's a lot of 'new and improved' to be seen, but it's
important to remember that sometimes, newer isn't
always better.
The word 'lecture' has gotten a bad rap over the years,
but in truth, a traditional lecture is still one of the most
effective and natural ways of conveying information,
and it has stood the test of time through all conceiva-
ble models of teaching, across generations, cultures,
and ideologies.
We repeatedly turn to lectures because they work.
When students settle into a lecture--not in a state of
boredom or annoyance, but attentive listening and
willingness to learn--the lecture model provides a
steady flow of information that students can learn and
grow from. By allowing themselves to become im-
mersed in the words of their educators, students
activate a powerful mental state that opens them up to
retaining new ideas, contemplating the presented
information, and expanding their own thinking process-
es.
The uninterrupted nature of lectures creates a
momentum within the subject at hand. Providing
students with the setting for a lecture, and then
delivering it effectively, helps to prevent distractions
from learning and generate the momentum necessary
to really make a message stick. Lectures aren't a new
concept. In fact, they are arguably one of
our oldest modes of education. And even
with technology sweeping the world and
creating new opportunities, certain staples
of human interaction will always have
value.
While advancements are constantly being
made in both devices and teaching styles,
and while many of these new programs are
incredibly beneficial to students and
teachers, it's important not to discard
traditional teaching methods simply
because they are older. There are many
benefits to teaching via lecture. For
example:
The model of having an expert discuss
their field at length provides students with
a solid foundation for their own learning
A 2010 study from Harvard's Kennedy
School showed that students who received
lectures learned more than peers exposed
to other methods of classroom teaching
Establishing the professor as the expert not only allows
tremendous information sharing, but also lets students
know exactly who to turn to if they have trouble
understanding the material.

clear, easy to follow, and provides actionable steps for
the listener. A good lecture doesn't tell a student what
to think of a subject, but instead guides them to
examine the topic on their own, to come at it with their
unique perspectives, and to discuss these concepts
openly so that answers can be found and insights
gained.
They also provide steps that the class can take after
hearing the lecture to deepen their understanding,
Lectures are even cited as capitalizing on human
nature to improve learning by providing verbal instruc-
tion from an authority figure in real-time. Lectures
have proven time and again to be a positive and
powerful teaching method, and succeed where other
methods--like small-group discussion or independent
study--fall short. Lecturing, like all teaching methods,
is an art and a science. One does not simply stand at a
podium and ramble--that is not educating. A successful
lecture is like a speech; it is structured, organized,
implement their new knowledge, and make what they
learned part of their lives in a real, viable way. The first
element of an effective lecture is knowing who you're
speaking to. A history lesson for third graders is going
to be very different from a history lesson for third-
year college students. Tailor your lecture specifically
to the people you'll be speaking to. Keep in mind the key
components of a lecture, and use these guidelines to

The Need To Master your Teaching
Methods
Newsletter Date 7th Feb. 2023
2. Over the years, several methods of
teaching have evolved in the
classroom. A few of them are
presented below: -
A. Among the oldest, we find
the lecture method, which
portrays the teacher as one
who dispenses knowledge to
the ignorant pupil. Teaching
consists of „Telling‟ the
pupils certain facts and
information which the latter
absorbs silently, never
talking until he is asked to
do so. The method places
the teacher in a great
authority and the learner in
that of dependence. The
lecture method is one of the
commonest methods. It is
particularly suitable for
large classes. The method is indispensable
to teachers especially when it comes to
presenting information, which the learners
need. Lecturing consists of telling the
students certain truths and information/
revelations which the latter absorb SILENT-
LY, never talking until asked to do so. These
truths and information/revelations have to
be passed skillfully, logically and systemati-
cally in order to promote understanding and
spark off the desired „revolution‟ in the lives
of the students. It also has to be used along
with other methods to provide a variety of
approaches and learning experiences. Used
alone and all the time, it can become
monotonous and boring and may condemn
the learner to perpetual inactivity.
B. A second method is the Socratic Method
which is based on dialogue between the
teacher and the learners. In this dialogue,
three stages are distinguished: the stage of
'opinion' during which the learner is unable to give
valid reasons for his assumed knowledge; the second
stage is the destructive or analytic stage in which the
individual is led to doubt his knowledge and the third
stage - the synthetic stage- where the learner's
experience is critically reconstructed and he can
justify his beliefs by giving reasons for them. The
Socratic Method consists essentially of questions and
answers. This makes it difficult to apply in the class-
room situation where we have many pupils and where
the stage of mental development of the pupils may not
be advanced enough to support the rigours of the
method. However, the Socratic Method can be applied
from time to time especially to correct pupils' false
beliefs, illogical reasoning and to eradicate taboos and
superstitions. Itcan also be used at certain stages of
the lesson to check on the level of understanding of the
pupils.
lecture.” It is important therefore to prepare a lesson
note to cover the 1½ hours allocated for each lesson
before you enter the lecture room. You would also be
required to submit such notes to Students after the
completion of your Lectures. In preparing the lesson
notes, the following could be carefully considered:
(i) FRESH NOTES
Lecturers are to develop fresh lesson notes using the
Course Outline, recommended books and other
relevant materials recommended by the University.
(ii.) THE AIM
The purpose, intention or focus of the subject.
Preparation is the way to succeed.
What you are not prepared for you cannot succeed in
Lecturers are to go through the entire Course guide
before teaching. This will enable them to have a grasp
of the Focus of the Course.
LIBRARY
All RKUC Lecturers should have access to current
books from Library where such exists. Relevant books
should be made available to lecturers on time to
enhance qualitative preparations'
REPARATION OF LESSON NOTE One of the most im-
portant skills in lecturing is preparing a lecture plan.
It is frequently said that “Without plan, there can be no

be interdisciplinary in nature. The project is usually
undertaken to achieve a certain agreed purpose and
learners work cooperatively among themselves to
achieve this purpose. In undertaking projects, multiple
leaning usually takes place. Examples of projects are
building a dining shed, presenting a play, organizing an
excursion, undertaking a community service (e.g.
cleaning) etc. These methods appear more democratic
than many other methods and encourage pupils' active
participation en masse. The teacher becomes a guide
and facilitator and a lot of learning takes place. In the
three domains: cognitive, effective and psychomotor.
Above all, learning is easily transferred to pupils' real
life situations outside the school and thus becomes
very meaningful and motivating to them.
used skillfully, it can be very rewarding.
TEACHING METHODS
The discovery method is based on the assumption that
it is better and more useful for learners to discover
for themselves certain facts, truths, principles, and
knowledge etc. Such knowledge discovered is said to
be lasting than one that is poured into the pupils'
heads. In this method, materials are supplied to the
pupils and the situations created whereby they can
search for the required knowledge, truth, value etc.
This method is particularly useful in practical subjects
like science, social studies and even mathematics. It
can also be adopted for library research in other more
theoretical subjects like history and literature. Being
time consuming, it may not be used too frequently in
the classroom. But where D. The project method as
the name implies is built around a pre-determined
project which may be found in a given subject area or
