Models of Teaching
Teaching
is a social process which aims at maximizing learning. Teaching and learning
are related to each other in a bipolar manner which means that where there is
teaching, there is learning but where there is learning it is not necessary
that it is the result of teaching.
Definition of Teaching Model:
Teaching
models are instructional design which describe the process of specifying and
producing particular environmental situations which causes the students to
interact in such a way that specific changes occur in their behaviour.
Fundamental Elements of Teaching Models:
·
Focus: This element is
related to the planning phase of teaching and all the other elements revolve
around this. It includes the objectives that are to be realized by teaching.
·
Syntax: In this
element, teaching strategies and techniques are selected and their sequence is
determined so that suitable learning situations may be created and objectives
are achieved.
·
Social System: This
element is related to interaction in the class. This element includes the
desired activities between the teacher and pupils and mutual relationship
between them is determined.
·
Support System: This
element determines the effectiveness of syntax and social system. Here
behaviour is evaluated objectively to determine the extent to which the
objectives have been achieved. If objectives are not realized, modification in
these two elements is made.
