ANALYZE
What is the best method of teaching? Is there such a thing?

► In teaching, there is no such thing as the best way. There are some
techniques that have been shown to be more effective than others. The type of
method a teacher can use, and even experiment with, is determined by the students'
personalities, the subject matter, and their motivation.

REFLECT
Reflect on this question.

How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lessons?

► When choosing an appropriate strategy, keep in mind the instructional

objectives as well as the pupils. Because kids learn in different ways, it's often more
successful to use a number of methodologies in a single class, as well as a variety of
different learning activities and assignments.

 Determining Outcome-Based Teaching and
Activity 10.2
Learning

ANALYZE
1. What are your thoughts about Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning
(OBTL)?
►The new curriculums utilized a student-centered approach called
outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL). The focus of OBTL was not on
what the instructor planned to teach, but rather on what the desired effect of
that instruction is for the learner.

REFLECT
Reflect on the use of OBTL.

► Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning focuses on a student's

potential outcome after completing a course. His or her outcome will be based on all
of the knowledge he or she has gained over the duration of the course.

Activity 10.3 Applying Effective Questioning Techniques

ANALYZE
1. Neil Postman once said: “Children go to school as question marks and leave
school as periods!” Does this have something to do with the type of question
that teachers ask and the questioning and reacting techniques that the
employ?
► This quotation is about effective classroom questions. So, certainly, it has
something to do with the type of question posed by a teacher in the classroom.
Children attend school to learn and gain a thorough comprehension of a subject. The
teacher employs the technique of questioning in order for the pupils to gain a better
grasp of the subject. The teacher can actively involve the student in learning by
using questioning and reacting techniques. If the teacher knows how to use reacting
techniques in the classroom, the students will be more engaged. It will assist the
teacher in encouraging students to participate in classroom discussions. It will assist

the teacher in encouraging students to participate in classroom discussions.
Learning is a dynamic process, according to one of the teaching concepts. Students
will gain a better understanding of the issue if they are the ones who come up with
the answers.

REFLECT

Reflect on

The importance of using various reacting techniques

► We, as teachers, will be able to create an interactive classroom by

employing various reacting techniques in which students actively participate in the
discussion. They actively participate when we positively respond or react to them. If
the teacher does not employ the responding strategy, pupils are more likely to be
discouraged from participating in class discussions. Teachers must utilize a variety
of reactive tactics to establish a favorable atmosphere in the classroom. We all know
that students' feelings are delicate, so we must be cautious in how we react to their
work or responses. We should refrain from reacting or responding in a way that
makes them feel embarrassed. We should be able to provide students with both
positive and negative feedback. We should know how to urge pupils to recite or
perform in front of the class by using proper phrases. Students will also be able to
understand the content better if they use reacting or asking strategies. If the students
do not comprehend the question, the teacher can restate it for them. The teacher
can also ask a follow-up question until the students have figured out the solution or
can see what is wrong with their response. Teachers will be able to encourage pupils
to participate in class without fear of obtaining the wrong answer or feeling ashamed
if they use various response tactics.
