Teaching Methods….
The search for an effective teaching method is a perennial concern and goal for a responsible educator!
Nov 2009 - Jun 2010
Can be divided into two approaches:
1) Teacher-centred
2) Student-centred
We start with Lecture Method
...still the most frequently used method of instruction

Lecture Method

• The instructor talks more or less continuously to the class. The class listens, takes notes of the facts and ideas worth remembering, thinks over them later
•The class has limited interaction with the instructor

One-way process of formal lecturing• ignores all important principles of learning,
Specially – passive learning de-motivates students• One solution could be mini-lectures followed by discussion/ quiz
…. Mini-lectures + discussion/quiz!

(1) During problem solving, should the tutor simply tell the student the next step or elicit the step from the student with a prompt or question?
(2)When a step has been completed during problem solving or a question has been answered during the post-solution discussion, should the tutor ask the student to explain it?
Discussion-based Learning …. owes its origin again to the Greek philosopher-
educators, particularly Plato, who rebelled against the authoritarian type of lecturing system of the Sophists!!

Discussion will refer to leader-guided or moderated group discussion. This will usually follow a pattern where the leader teaches
partly by lecture, or at least offers an introduction and conclusion. Guided discussion may involve some peer-to-peer interaction, but
most of the interaction will be from learners to the leader or the group in general. The leader offers a short summary and comment to most, or all, sharing.
Problem-based Learning
…. Real-world scenarios – used quite extensively in medical practice!

Learning is enhanced when we create an environment that provides students with opportunities to learn in different ways. We can help
all of them by employing a range of active approaches (discussing, listening, writing, reading, and reflecting) and using various teaching
strategies (lectures, multimedia presentations, demonstrations,discovery laboratories, collaborative group and projects).
