PSTMLS 100: TEACHING AND LEARNING
THE CONCEPT OF TEACHING
What is your view about TEACHING?
Teaching as an ART
• It is a way a teacher expresses her emotions and
communicates her feelings through her teaching
chores. This is a conglomeration of one's talent,
skills and expertise in reaching out to enriching the
students' lives.
• A skillfull teacher exudes a caring, compassionate
and creative approach that makes teaching a
masterful act of touching the children's minds and
hearts.
Teaching as a SCIENCE
• Teaching as a science seeks the application of a
scientific attitude and methodology in deciding
about strategies to employ instructional materials
to use and other best teaching practices.
COMPONENTS OF TEACHING
THE TRIAD OF TEACHING
ESSENTIALS FOR TEACHING SKILLS
1. Desirable Teaching Attributes
2. Mastery of Teaching Methodologies
3. Teaching Proficiency
WHAT IS LEARNING?
According to Webster:
1. The act or experience of one that learns a
computer / program that makes learning fun.
2. Knowledge or skill acquired by instruction or study
people of good education and considerable
learning
3. Modification of a behavioral tendency by
experience (such as exposure to conditioning)
"A change in human disposition or capability that persists
over a period of time and is not simply ascribable to process
of growth." -From The Conditions of Learning by Robert
Gagne
"Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn;
and doing is such a nature demand thinking; learning
naturally results." -John Dewey
THE GENERAL PROCESS OF LEARNING
What is the role of the Medical Laboratory Science
Educator/Teacher?
Your role is to make use of peculiarity of each of the
different settings in the laboratory to give your students the
maximum learning especially your role as a educator in the
integrated healthcare system.
The ultimate goal of teaching is learning. This is the reason
why before we discuss teaching, we analyze learning first.
THEORIES OF LEARNING
A. BEHAVIORISM THEORY OF LEARNING
This theory is said to be classical theory based from the
studies conducted by people who focused their studies on
behavior. These are the study conducted in 1972 by Ivan
Pavlov through his "Classical Conditioning" and, in 1940's
and 50's by BF Skinner through his "Operant Conditioning".

B. COGNITIVISM THEORY OF LEARNING
This theory which focuses on the development of cognitive
structures, processes, and representations that mediate
between instructtion and learning.
3. Social System
Describes the role that teachers and students will play, their
relationship during the presentation, and the norms. The
role of the teacher here is the facilitator.

The cognitive theory can be illustrate in the figure below.
4. Principles of Reaction
This tells the teacher how to regard the learner and how to
respond to what the learner does.
In the indoctrination model of teaching, the teachers are
expected to shape the behavior; at the same time rewards
to who exhibit good behaviors.

5. Support System
This refers to additional requirements of model other than
usual human skills and capabilities and technical facilities.
Example: Problem-based learning model

6. Application
Green (1971) classifies the various activities in teaching This provides information about the use of the model and
the type of instructional setting appropriate to the given
model.

7. Instructional and Nurturant

Instructional effects are those that are directly achieved by
leading the learner in a certain directions.
The nurturant effects refers to the model,, usually a result
exxperiencing the environment created by the model.

TEACHING MODELS "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve

Teaching models can be best assessed and described in me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin
the following elements:
1. Scenario of the Model
2. Syntax
3. Social System
4. Principles of Reaction
5. Support System
6. Application
7. Instructional and Nurturant

1. Scenario of the Model

It gives a scenario of the situations applying the principles
and theory. The teacher gives the students the opportunity
to apply what they had learned in the lecture.

2. Syntax
This refers the phrasing model such as the usual teaching
concepts verbal or mathematical. Three folds of phases of
presentation:
a. Presentation of the data
b. Presentation of the concept
c. Relating the concept with the idea
