Learning to Teach
• Teaching- refers to the management of the
teaching learning situations.
• To become an expert teacher is a complex,
multi-faceted process that continuously occur
throughout the individual’s professional
lifetime.
Different Kinds of knowledge
required of a teacher
Content knowledge-
Pedagogical knowledge-
understanding of content
research-based Strategies- research-
and the ability to
connections between based plans for actions
translate into meaningful
teaching and learning
form for the students
When is teaching
considered good?

perception of something to internalizing a phenomenon so that
it becomes a part of one’s lifestyle (David Krathwohl)

Dale’s Cone of Experience
• The individual bands of the Cone
of Experience stands for
experiences that are fluid,
extensive, and continually interact.
• Edgar Dale, 1969
Edgar
Dale’s Cone
of
Experience
The Concrete- Abstract
Continuum
• Instruction should proceed from direct
experience (enactive) to iconic
presentation of experience (e.g. using
pictures and films) to symbolic
presentation (i.e. using words).
Learning is facilitated when instruction
follows a sequence from actual
experience to iconic representation to
symbolic or abstract representation

General Approaches to Teaching
A Comparison Between Direct and Indirect Approaches
Direct Approach Indirect Approach
makes use of expository strategies makes use of exploratory strategies
aimed at mastery of knowledge aimed at generating knowledge for
and skills experience
teacher-oriented learner-centered
direct transmission of information students search for information with
from teacher teacher’s supervision
teacher-controlled learner-controlled
highly structured flexibly organized
content-oriented experience-oriented
learner is passive, receives ready learner is active in search for
information from the teacher information
Direct Instruction: Deductive Method

II. Presentation
• used for teaching concepts and skills
explaining the new concept
• a teacher-centered strategy that uses teacher
modeling the skill
explanation and modeling combined with
student practice and feedback to teach
concepts and skills III. Guided practice with necessary feedback
• widely applicable in different content areas provides necessary practice to practice new
• establishes interaction between teacher and skills
students categorize examples of new concept
• helps students to learn procedural knowledge
• promotes learning of declarative knowledge
• focuses students’ attention on specific
content/skill IV. Independent Practice
• ensures mastery of skills
more practice of the skill on concept learned for
retention and transfer

Indirect Instruction: Inductive Method
Inductive Teaching Strategies
Concept/s Steps
I. Preparation
It is a discovery learning strategy apperception
Involves many observable cases or motivation
instances that can be compared by the presentation of the aims of the lesson
learners II. Presentation
Students formed own conclusions/ teacher/learner cite specific cases of instances which will be
generalization when they are ready to the source/ bases of drawing generalization
so
Used when the generalizations are
III. Comparison and Abstraction
important enough to justify the time
noting commonalities/differences among the cases, examples
spent to the lesson
cited
Lesson progresses from observations
to generalizations IV. Generalization
Draw generalization from the instances/ examples given from
generalization which can be a rule, a formula, principle,
concept, etc.
V. Applications
Use the newly learned generalizations in new real life
situations
Indirect Instruction: Inquiry Method
Inquiry Approach
Concept/s Steps
I. Purposing
Statement of objectives of the projects
A significant practical unit of activity of a Explain the nature of the project
problematic nature Teacher and students decide on the activities
Involves planning and carrying out of the cooperatively
planned activities
Students complete certain task in a natural II. Executing
manner Student carry out the activities as planned
Involves the use of physical materials to under the guidance of the teacher
complete the unit of experience
Develops sense of cooperation, responsibility III. Evaluation

Energizes students to evaluate own and Evaluation by teacher and students based on
other’s works (projects) objectively based on some decided criteria for the project
developed criteria. evaluation
Indirect Instruction: Concept Development Method
Concept/s Steps
I. Presenting examples
Positive and negative examples are presented and
hypotheses generated
An inductive teaching strategy designed to
help students reinforce their understanding of II. Analysis of hypotheses
concepts and practice hypotheses testing Hypotheses analyzed in the light of new examples
based on the positive and negative examples
presented to them
Encourages students to think freely III. Closure
Trains students to develop hypotheses Examples are continuously analyzed and generate
critical characteristics and form a definition
Trains students to formulate definition or
generalization
Promotes student participation
Used for forming generalization IV. Application
Develops critical thinking through hypotheses Additional examples are provided and analyzed in
testing. terms of the definition learned
Problem-Based Instruction (PBI)
• The essence of PBI consists of presenting students
with authentic/meaningful situation that can serve
as springboards for investigations and inquiry.
Other Indirect • This model is highly effective approach for teaching
higher-level thinking processes
Models/Strategi • Deriving questions on problem both socially
es of Teaching important and personally meaningful to students.
• Interdisciplinary focus on a particular subject but
solutions requires students to deliver into many
subjects.
• Authentic investigation necessitates students to
pursue investigation that seek real solution to real
problems.
• Production of artifacts and exhibits requires
students to construct products in the form of
artifacts and exhibits that represents their solutions.
Constructivist Models
• Popularized by Piaget and Vygotsky
• A perspective of teaching and learning in which a
learner constructs meaning from experience and
interaction with others
Other Indirect • Teacher provides meaningful/relevant
Models/Strategies experiences for students from which students
of Teaching construct their own meaning (facilitation)
• Suggests that learners develop their own
understanding of topics they study instead of
having it delivered to them by others.
• Places learner in the center of the learning
process while they play an active role in the
process of constructing their own understanding.
Reflective Teaching
• Process that enables individual to continually learn
from own experiences by considering alternative
interpretations of experiences, actions, discussions,
beliefs, using introspection and analysis
Other Indirect • Used when students:
• Acquire concrete experiences
Models/Strategie • Analyzes experiences
s of Teaching • Form abstractions
• Apply generalizations to actual situation
• Types: Reflection-in-action, Reflection-on-action
(Donald Schon) Reflection-with action,
Reflection-for-action (Tony Ghaye)
“Meta” means beyond, therefore this strategy goes
beyond cognition
Probing - a qualitative technique used for the promotion of effective thought and
critical thinking; provides the students a chance to support or defend a stand or point
of view

Dangle/Dangling - issues or

Some teacher Truncation – same as dangle but the
pitfalls that teacher does not resume the
initiated activity, then dropped it all
affect together
Pitfalls
• Thrust- a teacher’s sudden ‘bursting in’ on
students’ activities with an order or statement
or question without being sensitive to the
group’s readiness to receive the message.
Too much work given at a time that causes
confusion and frustration
• Stimulus-bound – when a teacher has
students engaged in a lesson and something
else attracts the teacher’s attention
Techniques of Building Good Discipline:
• Demonstration. Students know exactly what is expected. In addition to
having expected behavior explained to them, they see and hear it.
• Attention. Students focus their attention on what is being depicted or
explained. The degree of attention correlates with the characteristic of
the model (teacher) and characteristics of students
• Practice. Students are given opportunities to practice the appropriate
behavior.
• Corrective feedback. Students receive frequent, specific, and
immediate behavior is suppressed and corrected.
• Application. Students are able to apply their learning in classroom
activities (role playing, modeling activities) and other real-life situations
