    Innovative Teaching

    Strategies

    Overview
    Current
    development
    requires
    teachers to vary their teaching styles
    to suit the learners` needs and
    interests.
    However, some teachers are still
    retaining the old teaching style.
    This causes them to be frustrated as
    the students are being passive in the
    classroom.

    Raiff
    (1992)
    stated
    that
    understanding students` learning
    styles will help teachers to reduce
    their
    frustration as well as their
    students` disappointment.
    To understand students` behaviours,
    their learning style becomes an
    indicator to know how they learn and
    which learning style that they prefer.

    Learning style is also seen as


    teaching
    strategy
    because
    understanding the students` learning
    styles give information about the
    learning contexts.
    E.g. The changing of KBSR to KSSR
    focussing on students` learning
    styles (child centred) and eradicate
    teacher centred.

    In individual learning, Ingham (1992) and


    Wan Zahid (1993) encourage teachers and
    parents to understand students` learning
    styles and regard their differences as
    special and that the speciality could be
    used maximally in their learning.
    Therefore, a neat and systematic lesson is
    needed to ensure an excellent teaching
    and learning happen in the classroom.

    In
    addition,
    methods,
    sources,
    and
    programs need to be suited with the
    students` learning styles to increase
    students` involvement and achievement.
    To sum up, students will be more interested
    to learn if teachers are being innovative
    where they are able to transform or create
    something new in a form of relevant source
    of method which is suitable to the students.

    Characteristic of Innovative
    Teachers
    Friendly
    Outgoing and approachable to the students
    while still applying the teacher-students
    boundaries.
    Stable emotion
    Able to control emotion and does not make
    judgements based on own emotion.
    Committed
    Being dedicated as a teacher to the students
    and as an employee of the school

    Knowledgeable

    values and have the ability to deliver effective
    instruction in and out of the classroom.
    Interest
    Have the interest to teach and devoted to
    increase students` performance
    Creative and innovative
    Always changing in order to suit their
    learners` style.

    How To Be Innovative?
    1. Knowing in depth the students`
    characteristics
    . Teachers need to understand what
    the students want, their behaviours,
    actions, and manners.
    . This could be done on the first day of
    entering the class.

    2. Teaching strategies
    Teachers need to vary the teaching
    strategies
    which
    includes
    approaches,
    techniques,
    and
    methods of delivering the lesson.
    Varying teaching styles is essential to
    suit the students` different learning
    styles.
    E.g. visual, auditory, kinaesthetic,
    and so on.

    3. Creative and innovative


    Teachers should not just rely on the syllabus,
    lesson plans, and teaching materials.
    Instead of being so rigid, teachers should be
    able to change their teaching strategies in
    an instant when the situation requires them
    to do so.
    As a result, students will be more active in
    the classroom during the teaching and
    learning.

    4. Humorous
    Students are more likely to be interested to
    teachers who are jokey while delivering the
    lesson.
    However, the jokes must not be too
    excessive that it might hurt or offend the
    students` feelings.
    Instead, it is just to create interest to learn
    and dissolve stress and boredom during
    the teaching and learning.

    5. High imagination
    Before starts teaching, teacher should
    begin with asking general questions to
    the students which is known as
    essential questions.
    This aims to open the students` mind
    and think outside the box where they
    could give their own thinking and
    perceptions.

    Then, teachers will monitor the students


    with questions which related with learning
    unit (unit questions) and move on to
    learning contents (content questions)
    Using this approach, students are trained
    to think globally and eventually able to
    relate with things that will be discussed in
    the learning content which also related to
    the learning objectives.

    6. Choice and application of teaching


    media
    Attractive media includes video,
    audio, text, or graphics.
    These
    medias
    can
    be
    used
    respectively or combined using
    software presentation.
    To be able to use media, teacher
    needs to have the technology skills.

    Other Approaches

    Inductive
    Deductive
    Eclectic
    Thematic
    Mastery
    Cooperative
    Collaborative

    Teacher as Observant
    (Perceiving)
    4 Quadrant Model known as 4MAT System
    Through the observation, teachers classify the
    learners into 4 categories:
    o Quadrant 1: Imaginative learners
    (feel and observe)
    o Quadrant 2: Analytic learners
    (observe and think)
    o Quadrant 3: Usual thinking learners
    (think and do)
    o Quadrant 4: Dynamic learners (do and use senses)

    Nelson (1997) stated that by using


    4MAT System, teachers will be able
    to categorize 4 ways of learning
    which
    are
    activist,
    pragmatist,
    reflective, and theorist.
    Activist learners fully participating,
    associate with new experience,
    always active and ready to try things
    that have been learnt.

    Pragmatist learners will try beforehand


    to make sure that it is really practical. They
    will only learn if it is practical and useful.
    Reflective learners isolate themselves
    but still viewing the learned things from
    different perspectives. They take time to
    think before making any decisions.
    Theorist learners like to use logical
    approach, well- arranged, and constructing
    own theories.

    Challenges
    Multiple intelligence theory (Howard
    Gardner, 1983).
    Spatial,
    kinaesthetic,
    linguistic,
    musical,
    logical,
    interpersonal,
    intrapersonal, and naturalistic.
    Teachers face challenges where they
    need
    to
    plan
    their
    teachings
    according to students` multiple
    intelligences.
