Learning by doing.

Multi-sensory learning.

CASE STUDY / CASE METHOD

The presentation of cases or scenarios based on actual

practice which students can discuss to explore possibilities,
probabilities and/or solutions. Case studies are used to develop
students ability to solve problems using new and existing
knowledge, skills, and concepts.

DEMONSTRATION

Demonstrations
are
practical
presentations
of
processes/procedures/skills which are designed to illustrate
theoretical principles. Demonstrations require careful sequencing,
oral and visual explanations, appropriate illustrations and
opportunities for students to pose questions and clarify problems.

DEMONSTRATION

BUZZ GROUPS/BRAINSTORMING

Large or small classes

are broken into small groups
of students to discuss a
particular
issue/problem/topic for 5 to
15 minutes.

THINK-PAIR-SHARE

The think, pair, share strategy is a cooperative learning

technique that encourages individual participation and is
applicable across all grade levels and class sizes.
THINK
PAIR
SHARE

JIGSAW METHOD

A teaching strategy where each student

works on one part of a learning task
and then works collaboratively with
other students to combine the various
parts and complete the activity. The
learning task/problem is broken into
parts and students are asked to work
on a response to that task individually.

PEER TEACHING/MONITORING

The provision of academic support for students by more

experienced students who are trained and resourced to provide
effective collaborative learning experience. This can be achieved
through a system that offers first year students a weekly, voluntary
study group session run by trained third or fourth students who
have performed well in the target subject.

SEMINAR

A small group approach in which

one student presents a paper on
a topic. A discussion of the
presentation, interpretation and
the underlying assumptions and
values
of
the
students
presentation then takes place.

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING

This approachs major characteristics is that by the end of a course

students produce a thesis, computer program, design plans, model,
portfolio, written report, oral report, either individually or in small
teams.

SYNCHRONOUS, ASYNCHRONOUS,
BLENDED TEACHING
Asynchronous teaching strategy is utilized through students
making use of the web but not at the same time. Instructions may
be given through the net but members of the class have delayed
conversations.
Synchronous teaching strategy is achieved through students
hooked-up/connected in the web at the same time. The teacher
schedules the day and time members of the class will make sure
that they are on-line.

Blended teaching strategy is a combination of synchronous

and asynchronous teaching strategies.

PORTAL

A portal consists of web pages that act as a starting point

for using the Web or web-based services.
A portal is used to upload the names of students in a class,
lectures, and presentations of the instructor/professor available
for access by the students. Messages/instructions maybe given by
the professors. Also, the portal can be used by students to submit
their term papers to their instructors.

STATISTICAL TREATMENT

The total number of samples were determined using

Slovins formula.
