Teaching and Learning Strategy

 

 

 

 

Rationale

 

Teaching Method or Educational Method has a long history and relates to the questions, "What is the purpose of education?" and "What are the best ways of achieving these purposes?" For much of human history, educational method was largely unconscious and consisted of children imitating or modeling their behaviour on that of their elders, learning through observation and play, such as, how to make meals, set places for the family, hunt for food, pick berries and how to play-fight and return home with little trophies.

Strategies

 

 

 

The pages linked from the table of contents above and the matrix below explain the learning strategies, objectives, communication, and technology options currently available. This is a partial list of strategies, methodologies and technologies which are changing continuously. We will be regularly reviewing and updating our recommended strategies.

Research shows that lecture is used approximately 80 percent of the time in higher education. Some examples of our current approaches to on and offline teaching/learning are demonstrated below.

Education encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, good judgment and wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental goals the imparting of culture from generation to generation (see socialization). Education is 'to draw out'. This means facilitating realisation of self-potential and latent talents of an individual.

The education of an individual human begins at birth and continues throughout life. (Some believe that education begins even before birth, as evidenced by some parents' playing music or reading to the baby in the womb in the hope it will influence the child's development.) For some, the struggles and triumphs of daily life provide far more instruction than does formal schooling (thus Albert Einstein's admonition to "never let school interfere with your education"). Family members may have a profound educational effect — often more profound than they realize — though family teaching may function very informally.

• Learning: The process of acquiring knowledge, skills, attitudes, or values, through study, experience, or teaching…
