Approach,

Method, Strategy,
and Technique
Teaching Approach
§ Teaching approach pertains to ideas. These ideas can be a
set of philosophies, principles, or beliefs in learning and
teaching. They are deemed very important as they serve as
the foundation of the classroom teaching in general. It
often defines what kind of educator he or she will be.
§ Some of the examples of teaching approaches are the
following: teacher-centered, subject-matter centered,
teacher-dominated, banking approach, guided
approach, learner-centered, interactive, and
collaborative approach
Teaching Method
§ Once the course objectives are set, the teacher then
decides on a plan on how to achieve the
goals. Teaching method pertains to the
systematic way of accomplishing the tasks in
general.
§ Some of the examples of teaching method are the
following: direct method, lecture method,
demonstration method, or group methods.
Teaching Strategy
§ In every lesson plan, there is a certain procedure that
needs to be followed to accomplish the introduced
tasks. In order to do this, the teacher chooses the
best teaching strategy for a particular goal.
§ Some of the examples of teaching strategies are the
following: inquiry-based strategy, differentiated
instructions strategy, and cooperative learning
strategy.
Teaching Technique
§ After defining the methods, the teacher needs to
decide on how to complete specific tasks. Teaching
technique, hence, is used to showcase the well-
defined procedures and the personal style of the
teacher to carry out a specific method and strategy.
Situational Example for Approach, Strategy, Method, and Technique

§ Background: Elementary teacher for Grade 6 students

§ Teacher Anna believes that every student needs to be adaptable to new
people and environment. She is guided by collaborative approach.
§ Hence, she has chosen to use group demonstration methods to achieve
her lesson objectives. She assigned groups with six members each, and
each group needs to propose a new project based on on the problem.
§ Before proceeding to a group demonstration, the students need to
brainstorm and evaluate the issues using the think-pair-share strategy.
§ While the activity is ongoing, she uses cards to facilitate the activity.
The card technique has been useful to provide hints, feedback, and props
to the students.
