Why is it important to know or to implement collaborative approach

in teaching?
2. What is collaborative approach?
*Collaborative is a teaching approach that allows students to work
together by solving a problem, completing a task or creating a product.
This is a wonderful teaching tool because teachers have the opportunity to
assess and differentiated instruction for students more readily and they can
learn new instructional techniques. This may include also to the teachers in
work field because they need also collaboration with other teachers like
they are team.

3. Why researched-based is important in K to 12 curriculums, knowing

that these curriculum is real world discovery?
*So, when we say research based, your teaching approach is more
interesting, updated and more convincing. Students carry out research in
their courses independently and with an open outcome. This helps to
internalize and practice research conducts and methods, skills such as
formulating a precise question and processing and monitoring a research
process.  This is very important in teaching field because if your approach
is not a research-based, you may end up teaching a subject using the same
method and examples again and again.

4. In the means of effectiveness does integrative approach sharpens the

skill of the student in subject mastery?
*Yes, it is, because it allows students to explore, gather, process and refine
information about topics they want to investigate in every subject matter,
they develop a deeper understanding of content through a range of
purposeful activities.

5. What do we mean by Spiral progression approach?

*As learning progresses, more and more details are introduced but at the
same time they are related to the basics which are being re-emphasized
and re-discovered. For example: Basic principles are introduced in the first
grade and rediscover in succeeding grades in more complex forms. So
from Macro to Micro from Simple to Complex from Broader to
Narrow.

6. Learners have different ethnic and cultural affiliation, why is it

necessary to promote a cultural sensitive?
*If your approach is culture sensitive you are mindful of the diversity of
cultures in your classroom. You employ a teaching approach that is
anchored on respect for cultural diversity. Cultural Sensitivity is being
aware that cultural differences and similarities between people exist. You
view learners as unique individuals and realize and accept that their varied
cultural experiences, beliefs, values and language affect their ways of
thinking and interacting with others and the larger community.
And if you are culture sensitive you will not judge one culture as superior
to other culture or you don’t think that your culture is better than your
learners. Indeed no culture is perfect and that every culture has its own
strengths and weaknesses.

7. How does this constructivist approach implement?

*Constructivist is based on constructivist learning theory of Piaget, he
observed and described children at different ages according to what his
experiences that Children construct their own knowledge in response to
their experience. If your teaching approach is Constructivist you believe
that students learn by building upon their prior knowledge (knowledge that
students already know prior to your teaching). Students learn when you
help them connect lessons to their prior knowledge. Much of what they
learn are those that are connected to their prior knowledge.
