What is teaching model?

- “Model of teaching can be defined as instructional design which describes the process
of specifying and producing particular environmental situations which cause the
students to interact in such a way that a specific change occurs in their behavior”.
- A model of teaching is a plan or pattern that can be used to shape curriculums (long-
term courses of studies), to design instructional materials, and to guide instruction in
the classroom and other settings based on Joyce and Weil (1980).
Concept of teaching model
- helps students to understand and learn concepts by identifying attributes or key features
through a process of analysis, comparison, and contrasting of examples.
- to produce effective teaching
- Teaching models are just instructional designs. They describe the process of specifying
and producing particular environmental situations which cause the student to interact in
such a way that specific change occurs in his behavior.

Function of Teaching Model
- It specifies ways of teaching and learning that are intended to achieve certain kinds of
goals.

to select instructional materials and to guide a teacher’s actions.

Model of Teaching
- A model of teaching consists of guidelines for designing educational activities and
environments. Model of teaching is a plan that can also be utilized to shape courses of
studies, to design instructional material and to guide instruction. <br/>JOYCE AND WEIL
(1972)
Types of Teaching Model
• Information processing model – refer to the way people handle stimuli from the
environment, organize data, sense problem, generate concepts and solution to
problems and use verbal and nonverbal symbols.
• Behavioral models – stress changing the external behavior of the learners and
describe them in them of visible behavior rather than underlying behavior.
• Social models – stress the relationship of the individual to other person and to
society
• Personal models – assist the individual in the development of selfhood, they
focus on the emotional life an individual
Five Strategies Teachers Use to Facilitate Learning
1. CHOICE - Not every student is the same kind of learner, so try giving them multiple
options when assigning projects. This shows that you respect their unique learning style.
It also shows that you're more interested in facilitating their learning than exercising
your authority.
2. VARIATION - Vary class activities to give students the ability to try out different learning
styles, and to give each student their moment to shine. It also will help them to choose
their approach to assigned projects.
3. CONNECTION - Give context for each lesson, and show how it relates to other things
your students might be learning or experiencing. Tie the material in to other lessons,
classes, subjects, current events, or real-life examples. Tell them why the lesson is
relevant to their lives and why it should matter to them.
4. CONVERSATION - Learning how to problem-solve is just as important as knowing the
answer, so give students time to talk through a problem in small groups or as a class.
Conversation also promotes communication skills, socialization, and cooperation.
5. RESOURCES - Today's students have access to a lot more information than the students
of previous generations. The real challenge is teaching them how to assess the quality
and validity of the information they find. Provide students with resources they can trust,
and tools for gauging trustworthiness.
10 Tools Used to Facilitate Learning Strategies
1. Facilitate class, group, and one-on-one discussions and debates.
2. Allow students to call on one another for answers, rather than the instructor.
3. Ask questions that don't have one single answer. Leave it open-ended.
 4. Roleplay different scenarios or play games to illustrate lessons.
5. Create multimedia presentations, utilizing technology your students use at home.
6. Record and post lessons and resources online for students to reference later.
7. Use guest teachers and speakers to show a different perspective.
8. Supplement lessons with virtual field trips or projects that involve field research.
9. Collaborate with other teachers to teach related lessons in different subjects.
10. Have students explain what they learned to someone who doesn't know the material.
Facilitating Student Learning
1. Create an appropriate motivational context, which includes meaningful activities, clear
expectations about what is required of them and how they will be assessed, and a
supportive learning environment in which students are able to explore and fail.
2. Build a well-structured knowledge base by engaging students' prior knowledge so that
they can assimilate new information in an organized way that relates to their existing
knowledge.
3. Encourage active learning that includes communication and social interaction. Students
should be encouraged to share, question, reflect on and challenge ideas to develop and
advance their understanding.
4. Students learn better when they are aware of their own learning processes, the
strategies they use, and continually monitor and reflect on their understanding.
Active learning in lectures
- Lectures do not have to be planned as a one-way transmission of content from the
teacher to the students, as this is a recognized unproductive learning strategy. Active
learning and teacher-student, student-student interactions can be included in lectures
to assist engage students and provide feedback to teachers on their grasp of subject
information and concepts.
Tutorials and small group teaching
- Many professors believe that tutorials and other small group classes are the best places
for students to talk and share their ideas, investigate the relevance of knowledge to
their personal experiences, apply knowledge, role play, and solve problems. Small group
lessons are particularly beneficial since they allow students to form stronger bonds with
academic staff and their peers, as well as gain confidence and have fun.
Online teaching and learning
- The Online Learning and Teaching Model is made up of seven elements that support the
various types of engagement and connectedness mentioned above and are meant to
foster a holistic student experience that includes both discipline-specific graduate
outcomes and broader social and emotional development.
 Features of this model are:

 Small group support

 Teacher presence
 Interaction with workplaces
 Interaction between students
 Personalized support
 Interactive resources
 e-assessment'
Experienced academics discuss strategies for engaging and motivating students and creating
teacher presence.
Teacher presence has three main elements, which are:

 Designing, preparing and planning the learning environment;

 Being visible and accessible – establishing a social presence and
online persona; and
 Being involved in the learning process – acting as a guide, teacher or
facilitator.
Learning Technologies for the following learning and teaching activities:

 Communication
 Enriching resources provide information and personalize presentation
 Collaboration and assessment, and
 Reflection
