    Teaching methods

    A teaching method comprises the principles and methods used for instruction to be
    implemented by teachers to achieve the desired learning by students, examples of
    teaching method are lecturing, experimentation, discussion, demonstration etc.
    These strategies are determined partly on subject matter to be taught and partly by
    the nature of the learner.
    The most common type of method of teaching in a
    a. Class is classroom discussion
    b.

    Experimentation

    a. Discussion method of teaching


    Discussion methods are a variety of forums for open-ended, collaborative exchange of ideas among a
    teacher and students or among students for the purpose of furthering students thinking, learning, problem
    solving, understanding, or literary appreciation. Its also a democratic way of handling a class, where

    each student is given equal opportunity to interact and put forth their views. A discussion taking
    place in a classroom can be either facilitated by a teacher or by a student. A discussion could also
    follow a presentation or a demonstration.
    Advantages

    Seven essential elements are identified for the successful incorporation of cooperative learning in
    the classroom( discussion method of teching)

    Class discussions enhance student understanding, add context to academic


    content, broaden student perspectives, highlight opposing viewpoints,
    reinforce knowledge, build confidence, and support community in learning.

    Class discussions can motivate students while also helping them retain
    knowledge and develop effective problem-solving abilities.

    Group processing, Positive interdependence Students must fully participate


    and put forth effort within their group, each group member has a
    task/role/responsibility therefore must believe that they are responsible for
    their learning and that of their group

    Face-to-face promotive interaction Members promote each other's success


    Students explain to one another what they have or are learning and assist
    one another with understanding and completion of assignments

    Individual and group accountability , each student must demonstrate mastery


    of the content being studied each student is accountable for their learning
    and work, therefore eliminating "social loafing"

    Group processing, Group processing occurs when group members a) reflect


    on which member actions were helpful and (b) make decision about which
    actions to continue or change. The purpose of group processing is to clarify
    and improve the effectiveness with which members carry out the processes
    necessary to achieve the group's goals.

    Social skills Social skills that must be taught in order for successful
    cooperative learning to occur Skills include effective communication,
    interpersonal and group skills

    Leadership

    Decision-making

    Trust-building

    Friendship- development

    Communication

    Conflict-management skills

    Limitations of discussion method


    It could cause the process to be more complicated than first perceived. Because
    cooperative learning is constantly changing, there is a possibility that teachers may
    become confused and lack complete understanding of the method. The fact that
    cooperative learning is such a dynamic practice means that it cannot be used effectively
    in many situations.

    Also teachers can get into the habit of relying on cooperative learning as a way to keep
    students busy. While cooperative learning will consume time, Teachers implementing
    cooperative learning may also be challenged with resistance and hostility from students
    who believe that they are being held back by their slower teammates or by students who
    are less confident and feel that they are being ignored or demeaned by their team.

    b. Experimental method of teaching


    Experiential method of teaching is a philosophy of teaching that describes the process that
    occurs between a teacher and student that infuses direct experience with the learning
    environment and content.

    An experiment is a procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis.


    Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when
    a particular factor is manipulated. Experiments vary greatly in goal and scale, but always rely on
    repeatable procedure and logical analysis of the results. There also exists natural experimental
    studies.

    Advantages
    There are advantages of Experiential method of teaching .

    Because it is student-focused, which allows for active learning and better understanding
    and retention of knowledge.

    It also helps to develop life skills that are applicable to many domains.

    It can be used to enhance content knowledge while simultaneously fostering the


    development of communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration, and
    self-directed learning skills.

    It may position students to optimally function using real-world experiences. By


    harnessing collective group intellect, differing perspectives may offer different
    perceptions and solutions to a problem.

    Disadvantages
    The major disadvantage to this process involves the utilization of resources and tutor
    facilitation.

    It requires more staff to take an active role in facilitation and group-led discussion .

    some educators find facilitation difficult and frustrating.

    It is resource-intensive because it requires more physical space and more accessible


    resources to accommodate simultaneous smaller group-learning.

    Students also report uncertainty with information overload and are unable to determine
    how much study is required and the relevance of information available.
