CURRICULUM METHODS:
Teachers play a key role in students’ lives, so encouraging
them to excel is our goal.
1. Be enthusiastic about your subject:
2. Create a pleasant, relaxed and enjoyable environment: A
friendly environment + (memorize names), Praise
3. Use achievable and relevant materials- inclusive to
reach all the students’ abilities.
4. Have high but attainable expectations for your
students: Positive Feedback is must
5. Help students set achievable goals for themselves:
Failure of goals can frustrate kids, and can often loose
motivation, so encouraging them
CURRICULUM METHODS:
6. Vary teaching methods:
Teachers have to be creative and flexible, simply notes will bore the class,
vary the assignments. (presentations, hands on, writing excercises, etc.)
CURRICULUM METHODS:
7. Make students active participants in learning:
When given assignments make sure students are having fun, and make them
brainstorm, role playing, debates, demonstrations, etc. (this way they will be
involved.)
8. Give students a sense of control and responsibility:
9. Work from students’ strengths and interests:
10. Be caring and supportive:
If you are caring towards your students they will respect your values and
opinions.
Developing a trust is important for a student teacher realtiomship.
CURRICULUM METHODS:
11. Strengthen students’ self- confidence:
12. Be specific when giving negative feedback:
Negative feedback is a powerful toll when used correctly. If not this
can lead to a negative and harmful environment.
TEACHING METHODS:
A teaching method comprises the principles and methods
used by teachers to enable student learning.
These reasoning and originality enhance creativity.
In Teacher- Centred Approach to Learning, teacher are
the main authority in the vehicle, and students are viewed
as “empty vessels”, who receive information passively.
In Student- Centred Approach to Learning, teachers and
students are both authority figures, who play equal roles.
Common teaching methods include class participation,
demonstration, recitation, memorization, etc.
METHODS OF INSTRUCTIONS:
Lecturing:
Students play a passive role, so it is important to engage them.
Demonstrating:
Process of teaching through example or hands on experiments.
May be used to prove a fact through evidence.
This helps improve memorization skills.
Collaborating:
Allows students to actively participate in the learning process by talking with
each other and listening to other views.
This makes them open- minded.
Classroom Discussion:
METHODS OF INSTRUCTIONS:
Classroom Discussion
It is a type of collaborative method
It gives them a opportunity to interact and put forth their views
It enhances childs understanding, build confidence and broaden
student perspective
Debriefing
It involves conversation, sharing after specific event has taken place.
It considers experiences and facilitates reflection and feedback
It helps them to transform
METHODS OF INSTRUCTIONS:
Classroom Action Research
It is a method to check what works best in your own classroom so
you can improve student learning. It is important to know their own
strengths and weaknesses.

WHEEL OF INSTRUCTIONAL CHOICE-
METHODS
Discussion methods
Questioning- (Arouse interest and curiosity, get
attention, channelise thinking)
Role Playing
Games and Simulation method
Demonstration method
Inquiry/Discovery method (Structured/Open
discovery)
TYPES OF QUESTIONS
Factual- yes or no
Convergent-Only one right response
Divergent- Deals with opinions, many answers
Evaluative- Limited to number of choices, Students
have to make judgements
Combination: Spotting similarities and differences
CRITERIA FOR SELECTING TEACHING
METHODS
Subject matter- Content of subject determines the
method
Instructional objectives- What teacher intends to
achieve at the end of a lesson
Learner- Teacher has to know the learners previous
knowledge, age, ability etc
Teacher- She should be familiar using different
methods
Time: Duration of lectures in time table
Instructional materials: Eg- for biology we need a
good equipped biology lab
Good classroom environment
STAGES- WAY FORWARD METHOD
Stage 1- Be clear with the instructional objectives
Stage 2: Choose teaching method that best suits
your objective
Stage 3: Check whether your students are
comfortable with that method
Stage 4: Are you also comfortable using that
method
Stage 5: Is your method chosen practical?
Stage 6: Will you be allowed to use the method
chosen
Stage 7: Finally use the method chosen
BACKWARD DESIGN- RAPLH TYLER
Here we set goals before we choose instructional
methods and assessment. He starts to form goals,
plan out assessment and then make lesson plans
3 stages:
Identify the results desired
Find out acceptable levels of evidence that support
that desired results have occurred
Design activities that will make the desired results
happen
TYPES OF DESIGN
Act of designing
Differs from country to
country
Time frame to achieve
goals is set by physical
age
It is a technology for
developing learning
experiences and
environments that
promote learning
knowledge and skills
by students
It yields faster and
deeper levels of
understanding
Cirriculum design Instructional Design
ASSESSMENT STAGE- WHERE APPROACH
W- Students should know where they are headiing,
why they are heading, where they may go wrong,
what is required then?
H- Hooking them on topic of study
E- Explore and experience ideas to understand the
outcome
R- Provide opportunities to students to Rehearse,
Revise and Refine
E- student evaluation
MODEL OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN
ADDIE model of design
Dick and Carry model of design
Kemp instructional design model
ADDIE
A- Analyse- those who make this develops an
understanding of desired outcomes, learner
knowledge and skills
D- Design –documents learning outcomes,
assessment tools, content
D- Develop- Creates learning material
I- Implement- Materials that are created and
distributed to the learners
E- Evaluate- Learning materials are assessed and
documented
DICK AND CAREY MODEL- SYSTEM APPROACH
MODEL
It is made of 9 stages.
It focuses on interrelationship between context,
content, learning and instruction and addresses
instruction as entire system
All these 9 components work together
DICK AND CAREY MODEL- SYSTEM APPROACH
MODEL
Identify instructional goal
Conduct instructional analysis
Identify entry behaviors and learner characteristics
Write performance objectives
Develop assessment instruments
Develop instructional strategy
Develop and select instructional materials
Design and conduct formative evaluation of
instruction
Design and conduct summative evaluation
KEMP INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL
It is holistic and takes into account all factors of
learning environment.
It mainly focuses on individual learner needs and
goals and follows nine components
KEMP INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL
Identify instructional problem and specify goals for
designing an instructional program
Examine learner characteristics during planning
Identify subject content and analyse task
components
State instructional objectives for the learner
Sequence content with each instructional unit for
logical learning
Design instructional strategies so that each learner
can master the objectives
KEMP INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL
Plan instructional message and delivery
Develop evaluation instruments to assess
objectives
Select resources to support instruction and learning
activities
Kemp model is on smaller scale and focuses more
on support and service for learners
EXE- EXPERIMENTAL EDUCATION APPROACH
It says the economic way to assess quality of
educational setting is to focus on : Degree of
emotional well being of children, Level of
involvement of adults
Zone of proximal development
10 actions points for EXE Teachers
Attention is paid to the interactions between teacher
and children.
Sensitivity is addressed
Autonomy is given
Attention is paid to the outcome of education, so
deep level learning and transfer of knowledge is
very necessary
EXE- EXPERIMENTAL EDUCATION APPROACH
It also focuses on value education and prevent
criminal behavior
It stresses more on development of adult
WHAT IS INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING?
It means teachers make instructional plans by
setting objectives and cirriculum. So cirriculum is
put in practice, creating an environment that helps
the children achieve the objectives
HOW IS A PLAN MADE? 3 ASPECT NECESSARY
Content of activities- what you hope children will
experience
Objectives of cirriculum content- aspects expected
to be developed through activities
Creation of environment
HOW ARE PLANS FORMULATED?
Understanding of the child and child development
Aims and cirriculum content- Aim is to nurture
emotions, will and attitude. Cirriculum content is
developed with intention of achieving aims
Creation of an appropriate environment
4 STEPS TO APPLY WHEN PLANNING PRE
PRIMARY CIRRICULUM
Conduct self evalaution
Know stake holders well
Design the cirriculum
Establish mechanism for cirriculum review and
monitoring
This steps ensure that the children are provided
with quality education services
SELF EVALUATION- CONDITIONS, STRENGTHS
AND LIMITATIONS
Institutional culture
Administrative and management structure
Staff management
Utilisation of resources
DESIGNING THE CIRRICULUM
Be child centred – Meet child’s developmental
needs and abilities and relate to childrens
experiences and interests
Be comprehensive and well balanced: Cater to
childs holsitic development in all areas
Adopt play as a learning strategy
ESTABLISHING MECHANISMS FOR CIRRICULUM
REVIEW AND MONITORING
Mechanism must be establised to collect feedback
from :
Children
Teachers
Parents
