The document discusses principles of effective teaching strategies:
1) Learning is an active process that engages students through hands-on activities and teaching others. This improves retention of the material.
2) Using multiple senses in learning improves retention, as humans are visually oriented learners.
3) Emotionally engaging students increases retention and learning as more intense emotional experiences leave stronger memories.
It provides examples of brain-based teaching strategies like role-plays, graphic organizers, and hands-on activities to promote long-term memory and recall in students.

Guiding Principles in the Selection and use of teaching Strategies
1. Learning is an active Process We have to actively engage the learners in learning activities if we want them to Research shows that: learn what we intend to teach. 78% retention rates in learning by doing Hands-on- Minds-on learning 90% retention rates by teaching others
2. The more senses that are involved in learning, the more and better the learning
Consider that humans are
intensively visual learners. Moreover, combining two or more senses promotes better 3. Emotion has the learning power to increase retention and learning the more emotionally involved our students become in our lesson, the greater the impact. The more intense the arousal, the stronger the imprint.
Dearest future teachers,
You will play the biggest role on having a positive learning environment. So, set the mood before you fire! EDUC 121 Principles of Teaching 1 – zjas
4. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday y life
- Abstract concepts are made understandable when we give sufficient examples relating to student’s experiences, this means that if the students are to see the connectedness of the lessons to their lives then, the make most meaning from it. 5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information
Good thinking concern itself with Higher-Order-
Thinking-Skills (HOTS) to develop creative and critical thinking .
6. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information
We must consider Garndner’s Multiple Intelligence and varied Learning Styles! EDUC 121 Principles of Teaching 1 – zjas
Brain Based Strategies
What are Brain Based Strategies?
Brain- Based Instructional Strategies are
ways of making connections with students that promote long-term memory and recall
Brain-Based Strategies includes:
1. Involving students in real-life or authentic problem solving 2. Using projects to increase meaning and motivation 3. Simulations and role plays as meaning makers 4. Classroom strategies using visual processing (Using Graphic Organizers) Visuals are powerful aids in retention as well as in understanding. To help students organize their thinking, teachers use graphic organizers) 5. Songs, jingles and raps. 6. Mnemonic Strategies. 7. Writing Strategies Make students write their own word problems and make them ask their problem and make them ask their classmates to solve them. 8. Active Review 9. Hands-on activities Concrete experience is one of the best way to make long-lasting neutral connections.
Task 1(Do this on a yellow paper)
Answer the following questions:
1 “Hands-on-minds-on” learning is in line with the principle that learning is learning process. What is meant by “Hands-on-minds-on” learning? EDUC 121 Principles of Teaching 1 – zjas
2. “There is nothing in the mind that has not been in some way through the senses”/ what does this imply about the use of the 5 senses in the teaching-learning process?
3. Describe what a teacher does when he/she engages himself/herself purely in “teaching for testing” How does this affect student’s learning?
4. What practice/s should we avoid to make teaching-learning more meaningful?
5. When a teacher teaches higher-order-thinking-skills, what skills does she teaches?
6. What is the best learning style? Explain your answer.
7. How can a teacher cater to all learners with varied learning styles and multiple intelligence? EDUC 121 Principles of Teaching 1 – zjas EDUC 121 Principles of Teaching 1 – zjas
