Technique in the Use of Question-and-Answer Type of Recitation

The Question -and-Answer method of teaching has been subject to as much the same criticism as
the other traditional methods. This method can also be very fruitful if used intelligently. This
method must be used with a great deal more imagination, ingenuity, and intelligence in order to
yield its best results. In the classroom question assumes a still more important role. It is a key to
all educative activity.

imagination, and incentive to action. Visual Devices are used to attract attention. The teacher
who has a repertoire of good visual devices at hand usually maintains full class attention. Visual
Devices are also used to facilitate reasoning and understanding. Further used to stimulate
imagination and provide incentives to action. The teacher must use the power of word
symbolism and concrete materials to fire the imagination, arouse the emotions and incite the
action.

Implement inquiry-based learning

A technique to appeal to your students curiosity. Implementing it in the classroom means

allowing the students to identify questions that interest them and to explore those questions in an
educational setting.

Provide feedback early and often

All kinds of learning, whether on the practice field or in the classroom, require feedback based
on formative assessment. The quality feedback necessary to enhance learning is limited or
nonexistent in many classrooms.
 Using these teaching methods allows them to adjust their teaching strategies to fit both
the students and the material, recognizing that different students learn in different ways. By
incorporating effective teaching practices into your lesson plans, you may have more
opportunities to engage students in the learning process and support their academic
accomplishments. Understanding different effective teaching methods allows you to decide
which ones to use when you teach.
