 Introduccion
The fundamental problem in didactics is teaching or learning. Teaching
is education seen from the teacher's angle. Learning is education seen
from the angle of the student. The school must take more care of the
methods than the programs, which would result in a total modification
of the current school routine.
(Sciaretta 1984: 26)
 CONTENT-FOCUSED METHODS

● In this category of methods, both the teacher and the

learners have to fit into the content that is taught.

● Generally, this means the information and skills to be

taught are regarded as sacrosanct or very important.

● A lot of emphasis is laid on the clarity and careful

analyses of content.

● Both the teacher and the learners cannot alter or

become critical of anything to do with the content.

● An example of a method which subordinates the

interests of the teacher and learners to the content is
the programmed learning approach.
 Student-centered /Constructivist Approach

● Typical classrooms are not natural environments

for learning was introduced.

● Although most of the social skills are the same,

there is a distinction between collaboration in the
classroom and cooperative learning groups.

● Cooperative learning groups use collaboration to

achieve particular academic goals.

● Collaboration is a social process that supports

learning in the classroom in several ways and
ideally continuously.
 Student-centered /Constructivist Approach

● In learner-centred methods, the teacher/instructor is both

a teacher and a learner at the same time.

● In the words of Lawrence Stenhouse, the teacher plays a

dual role as a learner as well “so that in his classroom
extends rather than constricts his intellectual horizons”.

● The teacher also learns new things everyday which

he/she didn’t know in the process of teaching.

● The teacher, “becomes a resource rather than an

authority”.

● Examples of learner-centred methods are discussion

method, discovery or inquiry based approach and the
Hill’s model of learning through discussion (LTD).
INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING is a student-centered teaching method

that encourages students to ask questions and investigate real-world

problems. In this type of learning environment, students are actively

engaged in the learning process and are given the opportunity to

explore their natural curiosities.

This type of learning is often hands-on and allows students to connect

what they learn in the classroom and the real world. Inquiry-based

learning has been shown to improve critical thinking skills, problem-

solving skills, and creativity .

 SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF INQUIRY-
BASED LEARNING INCLUDE

1. Encourages critical thinking

2. Improves problem-solving skills

3. Encourages creativity

4. Improves communication skills

5. Connects learning to the real world

6. Helps students understand complex topics

7. Encourages engaged learning

THE MONTESSORI METHOD is an educational
approach developed by Italian physician Maria
Montessori. It has been popular all over the world
for over 100 years. The approach focuses on
independence, hands-on learning and a
thoughtfully prepared environment that allows the
child to grow in all the main developmental areas.
 Project Based Learning

Project-based learning (PBL) or project-based

instruction is an instructional approach
designed to give students the opportunity to
develop knowledge and skills through
engaging projects set around challenges and
problems they may face in the real world
 Flipped classroom

Flipped classroom is a blended learning-teaching

model based on the principle that the classroom is
where the active part of learning should take
place.
It's 'flipped' (or 'inverted') because it requires
students to do some preparation before the lesson
so that the time spent with the teacher is used
more effectively.

 Cooperative Learning

Cooperative Learning involves

structuring classes around small
groups that work together in
such a way that each group
member's success is dependent
on the group's success.
 Cooperative Learning

The structure of cooperative learning provides a place where:

● Students are stakeholders in their own learning.
● All learners are active participants.
● Students learn social skills, such as cooperation and conflict
resolution.
● Projects are designed to be interesting, yet challenging.
● Teachers sometimes learn, and students sometimes teach.
● Teachers encourage and value the expression of differing opinions.
● Teachers and students demonstrate mutual respect.
