Teaching Methods

Introduction

The methods of teaching are the basic components of the curriculum, so that the educational objectives, content chosen by educators and instructors in the curriculum. Therefore, teaching methods are considered as a liaison between the student and the components of the curriculum. As the teacher makes the study of desirable students through the method of teaching that followed, and by raising the effectiveness of the pupils and their activity (Heidenreich et al, 2000). It is important to emphasize that the teacher is the foundation. No way is the basis, but is a method followed by the teacher to get his information and associated to the students. There are four methods of teaching, namely lecture, demonstration, discussion, and inquiry (Gagliardi, 2007).

Lecture

Some call it the way the dumping, which is one of the most common teaching methods, and used this method mediated by the vast majority of teachers in various stages of education. Have been associated with this method taught since ancient times, on the basis that the teacher is a person who has knowledge that the listeners are waiting to deliver them some of what he has, in order to inform them and develop their minds, and this meaning consistent with the concept of school as a factor in the transfer of knowledge to students (Borich, 2000).

It is understood that the name of the teacher lecturing his students and verbally explain to them the new information on the subject of the lesson, and this by moving away from being a process of dictating a book or a note. The teacher uses his commentary through different voices, and uses his hands to explain, but the rest of the body, taking into account the movements that reflect the reality of the ideas that want to connect to the students.

Demonstration

The demonstration allows students to observe the operation of logical reasoning, a device or a gesture. It is based on the learning process of imitation. It allows you to connect our prior knowledge and real action. This is an explanation by the experience of previously acquired knowledge. The demonstration can be performed both by the teacher and by students. It will be effective if it is precise, methodical. To do this, students need to see the reasoning, the device or gesture. The demonstration should not be too fast each party should be explained clearly in its development.

The demonstration method of teaching as part of students' prior knowledge, which is one of the bases of the cognitive approach. It also uses the process of generalization and discrimination, yet the cognitive approach. Finally, the demo allows you to organize the knowledge previously seen in an overall aim to explain the operation of a device or logical reasoning, which is typical again of the cognitive approach (Aslam and Kingdon, 2011).

This teaching method is particularly useful for larger groups, where personal interaction is more difficult. It is very useful for skills that are the practical application of concepts to a device previously ...
