TEACHING APPROACH

•For me teaching is an art of expression

and impression
•For me you have to question your
answer and answer your question
•For me…
TEACHING APPROACH

•A set of principles, beliefs or ideas about

the nature of learning, which is
translated into classroom.
•A teacher’s personal philosophy of
teaching.
Best practices may start on lesson planning

•Start creating educative process on your

lesson plan .
•Greater than in one lesson plan
•Formula for my lesson plan
• The summation of Inside lesson plan is proportional to all in any inside lesson
plan and inversely proportional to the outside lesson plan
1. LEARNER-CENTERED APPROACH

•Enables life-long learning and

independent problem solving.
2. INCLUSIVE APPROACH

•Education for all.

•No one is left behind.
•Equality
3. DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE
APPROACH
•Tasks within the developmental stage.
4. RESPONSIVE AND RELEVANT
APPROACH
•Teaching is meaningful when related to
students’ life.
5. CULTURE-SENSITIVE APPROACH

•Teaching should respect culture.

6. CONTEXTUALIZED AND GLOBAL
APPROACH
•Exerting effort beyond the classroom.
7. RESEARCH-BASED APPROACH

•Teaching and learning are anchored on

researches.
8. CONSTRUCTIVIST APPROACH

•Students build upon their prior

knowledge.

“Stock knowledge will pass you in

college”
9. INQUIRY-BASED APPROACH
• Learning through student-generated
questions.
• Students develop science inquiry skills and
an understanding of the nature of science.
Teaching and learning progresses through
7E’s model: Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain,
Elaborate, Evaluate, and Extend.
7E’S MODEL
• ELICIT – is used to ask learners to come up with
vocabulary items, word meanings, and to
brainstorm a topic at the start of a lesson.
• ENGAGE – to engage students usually include
using a real-world scenario or problem, asking
students questions that allow them to think
critically, and help them to create connections to
their past experiences.
7E’S MODEL
• EXPLORE – the teacher who works as facilitator or coach,
gives the students time and opportunity to explore the
content and construct their own understanding of the
topic at hand.
• EXPLAIN – this phase starts with students attempting to
explain specific aspects of the engagement and
exploration experiences. Based on these explanations, the
teacher introduces terminology in a direct and explicit
manner to facilitate concept building.
7E’S MODEL
• ELABORATE – the teacher provided more detailed
information about the subject content through the use
of mini lectures and/or whole class discussions.
Students are also given opportunity to apply what they
have learned and receive feedback from the teacher and
their peers.
• EVALUATE – formative assessments (e.g., quizzes) can be
used to evaluate students’ mastery subject matter at the
beginning and throughout the 7E’s phases.
7E’S MODEL
• EXTEND – it is a further activity around the aims
of a class but after it, often as homework.
Extension tasks can provide more, or different,
forms of practice. They can also make classroom
learning more meaningful, as they give learners
a chance to personalize language and content.
10. REFLECTIVE TEACHING
APPROACH
•Teacher thinks over his/her teaching.
11. COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

•The use of teamwork, groupwork, and

partnership.
TEACHING STRATEGY

•A method of approaching the task of

teaching, mode of operation to achieve
a goal.
DIFFERENT TEACHING
STRATEGIES IN
SCIENCE
1. HANDS ON LEARNING

•This is the teaching strategy invented so

far that involves the active participation
of students to experience scientific
concepts than to just have an audience
view.
2. ROLE PLAY

•It is a strategy that allows students to

explore realistic situations by interacting
with other people in a managed way in
order to develop experience and trial
different strategies in a supported
environment.
3. VISUAL CLUES
• Using this strategy easily supplements auditory
information and students can easily connect
better with ideas.
• The multi-sensory experiences improve their
understanding and memorization. This includes
drawings, diagrams, and pictures to assist theory
and setting up examples to show its application
side.
4. SCIENCE TEXT CARDS
• This is a teaching strategy to convey the science
facts in an easy and organized way. In this activity,
statements related to science concepts are written
on index cards.
• Students can work individually, pairs or in groups to
sort the cards based on the given format. The
formats include true/false, agree/disagree,
matching pairs, classification, sequencing and more.
5. WORD GAMES
• This is a creative strategy to help students to
experience the language of science. Pictionary,
Bingo, Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, etc. are the
common games.
• Playing these games using scientific terms helps
the students to work closely with different hard
to understand words and use them fluently in
their subject.
6. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
• This teaching strategy is helpful for students to interact
with science in a more organized and structured way.
Teachers can use different types of templates to represent
the data according to the topic that is being handled.
• A typical format for graphic organizer contains a central
point from which different branches are formed and there
may be sub-branches in certain cases. Arrows are used to
point the direction or sequence of a process.
• Examples are: flow charts, graph, maps, tables and web.
7. WORD PARTS
• This teaching strategy is followed by teachers to educate
the basics of science to elementary students. While
introducing new scientific terms, they can reinforce the
structure of words.
• Students are asked to identify and understand prefix,
suffix, and base word, and to relate their meanings. For
example, metamorphosis – meta (large), morph
(change), osis (process); photosynthesis – photo (light),
synth (make), isis (process).
8. VIRTUAL SCIENCE LABS
• There are many virtual science labs available online for
free and therefore, this approach almost gives hands on
experience of learning the subject without much expense.
• Detailed diagrams, illustrations or close up pictures allow
students to virtually get inside a plant or animal part
without actually doing it. Dissections in biology can be
studied thoughtfully with a virtual hands-on sensation
without the problem of odor and similarly, experiment a
chemical reaction without burns.
9. WORD WALLS
• Science word walls in classrooms can stimulate the interest of
students in the subject and an opportunity for them to
illustrate different concepts. In an advanced technique, a
more in-depth understanding of different scientific terms can
be made possible with pictures that accompany the words.
• This is also an option to help them better understand words
with multiple meanings. Teachers can design creative word
walls or ask students to contribute to the idea weekly or
monthly.
10. MULTIMEDIA

•This strategy is a blend of text, audio,

animation, video, still images or
interactivity content forms to teach
diverse difficult to understand concepts
in science.
11. VIDEO CLIPS
• This teaching technique makes use of instructional
video clips available online or in libraries to show
and teach a new concept.
• The evolution of a process can be conveyed better
with animation videos. It can also be videos of
demonstration of an idea or an application side of a
theory or an interview with a scientist, tutorial by a
subject expert and more.
12. POWERPOINTS
• Instead of the conventional talk and chalk
methods, teachers now include power point
presentations in their classroom sessions to make
it more interesting.
• They connect the computers to projectors to
address a larger classroom and include interesting
slides with diagrams and flow charts to make the
teaching more interactive.
13. SCIENCE STATIONS
• This is a fun, quick and engaging way to teach science
that promotes student-led learning. Science stations
support differentiated learning that lets students
immerse themselves in topics, experience science to the
fullest and then reflect back on their learning.
• There will be multiple stations built with different
learning styles and students can research, explore,
watch, read, write, assess and illustrate the science
concepts.
14. SCIENCE EXHIBITIONS
• Encourage your students to take part in science
exhibitions as part of school level or inter-school
level competitions. This is a great opportunity to
bring out their creativity in science and design an
application based on a scientific concept.
• Develop this inquisitiveness and creative mindset in
students right from the elementary classes to help
them to grow up as science enthusiasts.
15. INTERACTIVE SCIENCE
JOURNALS
• This is an advanced version of lecture notes in which
students express the information they learnt into
different templates and elicit their own responses.
• Students can use this technique effectively to have a
deeper connection to their learning and this activity
promotes their higher-level thinking. They can be
creative with their notebooks using pictures, charts and
comments, thus, building an encompassing resource for
future reference.
16. BUILD YOUR MODEL
• This can be a challenging task given to students as part of
science education. Models are the building blocks of science
which are used to explain the diverse aspects of real world.
• Ask your students to build their own model using the
scientific knowledge they have acquired and you can
provide supported guidance.
• Students will be creative in making models and designing
their own imaginative means of testing them. This is the
right approach to find the scientist in them.
