3. Understand the disadvantages and
advantages of various teaching strategies
Traditional Learning Strategies:
I. Lecturing
II. Discussion
III. Q&A Techniques
IV. Use Audiovisual Aids
 A. Traditional Teaching Strategies

1. Lecturing
- Most traditional method associated with
teaching in which the teacher simply
conveys the knowledge to the students in a
one-way channel of communication.
- Efficient means of introducing learners to
new topics.
- Integrate and synthesize a large body of
knowledge.
 A. Traditional Teaching Strategies
1. Lecturing
Advantages:
- Have specific period of time
- Economical and cost effective
- Develop listening abilities
Disadvantages:
- Few teachers are good lecturers
- Teaching of facts without emphasis on problem-
solving, decision making, analytical thinking
- Limited to a single approach
- Limited attention span
 A. Traditional Teaching Strategies

2. Discussion
- Imparts the lessons through
interaction
- May be formal or formal
- A topic is announced in advance and
the class is asked to take part in the
discussion by reading a material or
videotape.
 A. Traditional Teaching Strategies
2. Discussion
Advantages:
- Learn the process
- Supports students’ ways
- Foster attitude change
- Most students prefer and like this method
Disadvantages:
- Use more time to think
- Small groups only
- Not efficient way of communicating information
- Useful only when participants come prepared with
needed background information

3. Question and Answer Techniques

- Initiates learning process by asking
students about insights and ideas
- Questioning is integral to teaching
- Can increase motivation of learners

b. Chalkboards
c. Overhead transparency
d. PowerPoint Slides
e. Videotapes
Activity-Based Teaching Strategies
I. Cooperative Learning
II. Writing to Learn
III. Concept Mapping
IV. Debate
V. Simulations
VI. PBL
VII. Self-Learning Modules
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies

1. Cooperative Learning
- Students from one class arranged into
small groups
- Based on the premise that learners
help each other work together
- Involves structuring small groups of
learners who work together toward
shared learning goals
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies
1. Cooperative Learning
Advantages:
- Group members learn to function as
part of team
- Teaches and enhances social skills
- Inculcates the spirit of team-building
Disadvantages:
- Fast learners are lag behind
- Learning Gap
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies

2. Writing to Learn
- Influences students’ dispositions
toward thinking and takes active
participation in learning
- Serves as stimulus of critical
thinking
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies

3. Concept Mapping
- Lends visual assistance to
students when asked to
demonstrate thinking in graphic
manner
- Students become more adept at
creating and examining a map
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies

4. Debate
- Fosters critical thinking
which requires in-depth
recall of topics
- Encourages analytical skills
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies
5. Simulations
- Practical exercises for the
students representing
controlled manipulation of
reality
- Help in decision-making and
problem-solving
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies

5. Simulations
4 Types of Simulation Techniques:
a. Simulation exercise
b. Simulation game
c. Role-playing
d. Case study
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies
6. Problem-Based Learning
- Involves confronting the
students with real life
problems
- Provides stimulus for critical
thinking and self-taught
content
 Difference of PBL and Simulation

PBL SIMULATION
Small Groups Individuals or groups

Students have little background Students have most

knowledge of subject background knowledge

Cases are brief and problems are Cases are long and detailed and
ill structured Problems are well-defined
 B. Activity-Based Teaching Strategies

7. Self-Learning Modules
- Completely doing away with
traditional instruction
- Provided with materials needed
for learning process without the
intervention of the teacher
- Done in a unit of nursing
