TEACHING BY: JOSE MARI BALBON ACABAL TEACHING APPROACH
Set of principles, beliefs, or ideas
about the nature of learning which is translated in the classroom PROCESS APPROACH Anapproach which provides students with an abundance of projects, activities, and instructional designs that allow them to make decisions and solve problems. Students get a sense that learning is much more than the commission of facts to memory. PROCESS APPROACH Implies that students can manipulate, decide, solve, predict, and structure the knowledge in ways that are meaningful to them. When teachers and parents provide opportunities for students to actively process information, then learning becomes more child-centered. This results in attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs that the natural world can be actively explored and personally investigated – and that the environment, both near and far, is full of incredible learning possibilities…along with a whole lot of fun! EXPERIMENTAL LEARNING
Process of making meaning from direct
experience. Process of acquiring skills, knowledge and understanding through experience rather than through formal education or training. EXPERIMENTAL LEARNING
This process of learning involves the student
in his/her learning to a much greater degree than in traditional(pedagogical) learning environments. It addresses the needs and wants of the learner and is seen to be equivalent to personal change and growth. INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Integrated learning incorporates multiple subjects, which are usually taught separately, in an interdisciplinary method of teaching. The integrated approach is one in which learners learn by doing in a learner centered environment in learner-interest contexts. The goal is to help pupils remain engaged and draw from multiple sets of skills, experiences and sources of aid and accelerate the learning process INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Learning through an integrated studies approach is enhanced when studies are actively engaged in meaningful and relative topics. Learners construct and produce knowledge by solving problems, conducting inquiry, engaging in reflection and building a repertoire of effective strategies. INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Integrated studies help pupils to become life long learners and allows efficient coverage and delivery of curriculum in terms of expertise, resources and time. It allows students to engage in purposeful, relevant learning. It encourages students to see the interconnectedness and interrelationships between the curriculum areas. INTEGRATIVE APPROACH Students are able to use their prior experiences to construct learning. Because integrated units are child-centered, they provide opportunities for cross-cultural sharing. Opportunities for students to display competence are given rather than relying on a written or oral test.
