VISION
DR.T.V.RAO MD

Socratic Teaching
!

The oldest, and still

the most powerful,
teaching tactic for
fostering critical
thinking is Socratic
teaching. In Socratic
teaching we focus on
giving students
questions, not
answers

A Socratic Questioner
should: Practice
!

a) keep the discussion focused

b) keep the discussion intellectually responsible

c) stimulate the discussion with probing questions

d) periodically summarize what has and what has not

been dealt with and/or resolved
e) draw as many students as possible into the
discussion.

The Teaching Trends Have

Changed
!

Times have changed

since the early days of
classroom education in
every country.
Classrooms look
dierent and student
learning styles are
dierentjust think of
the tools available to a
teacher in the 19th
Century compared to
today.

Be Clear in your Teaching"

Most Important -Teach Skills
!

Be clear about the goals of

instruction and make them
explicit to the students. Both
you and the students have a
better chance of achieving
your goals if you make clear to
them the relationship between
the skills they are learning and
the task they are completing.

Move From Traditional to Blended

Teaching and Learning

Blended learning

Blended learning is
a way of combining
a variety of learning
environments into
one classroom
and even taking
those teaching
applications beyond

of ways to approach
blended learning,

student to learn in
the way that suits
him or her best.

!

Blended learning oers

more choice in the best
fit for your particular
class. Teachers know

Some classrooms are
filled with tactile
learners, while others
have a heavier
representation of
auditory learners.

Teach Students with

Examples

Help students
understand what good
reading and good
writing look like by
providing them with
examples, examining
work, reviewing
portfolios, and
discussing criteria

Creating Opportunities for

Practice
!

MUST give your students

the opportunity to practice
whatever you will expect
them to be able to do. It's
possible to give them
practice exclusively
through homework
assignments, but research
demonstrates that practice
with immediate feedback
is most valuable

CHOOSING TEACHING METHODS
