OF YOU WHEN YOU ARE IN THE CLASS?
METHODS AND STRATEGIES
 OBJECTIVES:
 By the end of the session ,the participants will be
able to:
 explain various methodologies
 describe merits and demerits of some common
methods
 use innovative strategies according to the given
situations.
 plan methodology and strategies in a lesson plan
 present the plan
METHODS AND STRATEGIES
METHODS AND STRATEGIES
 Approach refers to the theory about the
concept(ASUMPTION)
 Method is the realization of an approach(PLAN)
 A strategy is the realization of method+objectives
(TACTIC)
 It does not follow a single track as it changes
according to the demand of situation,
interest,level,need and age.
METHODS AND STRATEGIES
 TASK SHEET :1
 Questionnaire (10mins)
Classroom Climate
LECTURE
 Advantages
 Allows maximum teacher
control
 Presents minimal threats to
students or teacher
 Able to accommodate larger
numbers of students
 Cost effective
 Economy of time
 Disadvantages
 Attempt to cover too much
material in given time
 An easy teaching method but
a far less effective learning
strategy
 Creates passive learners
 Provides little feedforward to
learners
 May be boring
 One way communication
 Students are less motivated
Group Discussion
 Advantages:
 Excellent vehicle for affective
content
 Allows less experienced learners
to benefit from more experienced
ones
 Can stimulate critical thinking
 The most democratic way of
teaching.
 Grooms higher order thinking.
 Develops language and social
skills.
 Students are highly motivated.
 Students become active
participants.
 Teaches tolerance and respect
towards different point-of-views.
 Worthy for abstract ideas.
Disadvantages:
 Teacher may not feel in
control (20 sec pass)
 Sometimes difficult to keep
on track
 May be difficult to deal
with emotions that arise
 Takes a great deal of
preparation if done
correctly
Discovery Method
Merits
 Real life experience boosts
motivation among learners.
 Fosters observational and
analytical skills.
 It develops understanding of
learning process among the
learners.
 Students learn problem solving
 Discovered concepts are easy
to remember.
 Discovery method is essentially
student-centered
Demerits
 Method is time consuming
 Requires highly skilled
teacher
 Demands intense planning
 Not-effective in big classes
PROJECT/ASSIGNMENT METHOD
Merits
 Practical Work
 Sense of Ownership
 Creativity
 involvement
Demerits
 Time Consumption
 Difficult to assess individual
performance in case of group
project
Games
 Determination, explanation, and strict adherence to
the rules of the game
 Try out the game on friends before using it in class
 Gather all necessary equipment ahead of class
 Token prizes
VIDEO TAPES / SLIDES
Strengths:
 interesting and
entertaining
 keep students attentive
 looks very professional
 stimulates discussion
Limitations:
 can raise too much issues.
 expensive way
 discussion may not have
full participation

the show or after the show
ROLE PLAY
Strengths:
 Introduces problem
situation dramatically.
 Allows for exploration of
solutions.
 Provides opportunities to
practice skills
 Provides opportunity to
assume roles of others and

point of view
Limitations:
 Not appropriate for large
groups
 Very little number of
students can participate
 Students may be too self-

Concept Mapping
 Requires active participation of learners
 Students are able to access their own thinking and
find new associations
 Requires critical thinking
 Begins with a core concept
 Students are then to connect all other concepts that
they know are related to the core concept
Concept Mapping
