Guiding Principles in the

Selection and
Use of Teaching Strategies
 Here are some guiding principles in selection of teaching
strategies

Learning is an active process

This means that we have to engage the learners in learning
activities if we want them to learn what we intend to teach.
‘’Nobody can learn for us in the same way that nobody can
eat for us, nor live for us, nor die for us.’’ this means that we
can eat for ourselves, live our own life and die for our own
death. Only I can learn for myself. As a learner we must be
actively engage in learning process. On the other hand we
must we must give opportunities to participate in classroom
discussion. According n to researchers almost 75% and
90% of retention rates, respectively---are learning by doing
and learning by teaching others.
