Essential Questions

Understandings
Teaching Strategies are ways and means by which you implement a method.
These are used to help the students to achieve the desired learning outcomes by
learning the desired course content.

Integrated Learning helps the students to make connections and relevance

between and among subjects. It allows the learners to engage in purposeful, relevant
learning. It encourages the learners to see the interconnectedness and
interrelationships between the curriculum areas rather than focusing on isolated
curriculum areas.
According to Pigdon and Woolley (1992) in an integrated curriculum, all activities
contain opportunities for learners to learn more about content through purposeful
activities.

Higher-Order Thinking Skills

Higher order thinking skills known also as HOTS imply that some types of
learning require higher cognitive process than others. Skills in analyzing, evaluating,
and creating are thoughts of higher order than learning facts or concepts.

Verbal and Non-verbal communication

Verbal communication is the use of words in expressing one’s feelings and

ideas.

Non-verbal communication includes the use of body language, gestures, facial

expressions, eye contact, and posture.
The use of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies is the first step in
enhancing communication and nurturing relationships which are vital in the teaching-
learning process.
Strong communication skills are very important in the instructional process.
