TEACHING and LEARNING METHODS *Cooperative Learning activities allow students to work together. Students are guided to learn on their own to find solutions to their problems. The role of the teachers is to giide the learners. Democratic process is encouraged, and each one contributes to the success of the learning. Students learn from each other in ways. Group projects and activities considerably enhance the curriculim. *Independent Learning activities allow learners to develop personal responsibility. The degree of independence to learn how to learn is enhanced.This strategy is more appropriate for fast learnes. *Competitive activities, where students will test their competencies against another in a healthy manner, allow learners to perform to their maximum. Most successful individuals in their adult life are competitive even in early schooling. They mostly become the survivors in a very competetive world. The use of various delivery modes to provide learning experiences is recommended. Online learning and similar modes are increasingly important in many curricula, but these need to be planned carefully to be effective. Some Behaviorist Teaching Learning Methods Direct Instruction 1. State learning Objectives/Outcomes: Begin lesson with a short statement of objective or desired lesson learning in outcomes. 2.Review: Introduce short review of previous prerequisite learning. 3. Present new materials: Present materials in small, sequenced manner. 8. Provide Feedback: Provide systematic feedback and corrections. 9.Assess Performance: Obtain student success rate Of 80 percent or more during practice session. 10. Review and Test: Provide for spaced review and testing. MASTERY LEARNING 1. CLARIFY: Explain to students what are they expected to learn. 2.INFORM: Teach the lesson, relying on the whole instruction. 3. PRETEST: Give a formative quiz on a no fault basis, student can check on their own paper. 4. Group: Based on results, Divide the class into mastery and non mastery group (80% is considered mastery). 5. ENRICH AND CORRECT: Give enrichment instruction to mastery group.Give corrective (practice/drill) to non mastery group. 6. Monitor: Monitor student progress; vary amount of teacher time and support for each group based on Group sized and performance. 7. POSTTEST: Give a summary for a non-mastery group. 8. ASSESS PERFORMANCE: At least 75% of the students should achieve mastery by the summative test. 9. RETEACH: If not, repeat procedures; starting with corrective instructions (Instruction materials, reading materials and etc. TEACHING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT 1. ADEQUACY- This refers to the actual learning space or classrooms. Is the classroom large enough for student's mobility for class interaction and collaborative work. 2. Suitability- This refers to planned activities. Suitability should considered chronological and developmental ages of learners.Also to be considered will be the socio-cultural, economic even the religious background of the learners. 3. EFFICIENCY- This refers to operational and instructional effectiveness. 4. ECONOMY- This refers to cost effectiveness. How much is needed to provide instructional materials.
