Using Effective Teaching Techniques
Or, some more tools for your teaching toolbox
2
Objectives
Define EFFECTIVE teaching
List, explain, and give examples of
effective teaching skills
Demonstrate effective teaching skills in
actual teaching
3
Everything has led up to this.
Program planning leads to a curriculum Curriculum planning leads to teaching
calendar Teaching calendar leads to lessons Lesson planning leads to methods We use teaching skills to implement the
methods
4
What is effective teaching?
From perspective of PRODUCT:
– How much the students learn.
– Difficult to measure.
– Results may not be known for years.
– Results flavored by student ability.
5
What is effective teaching?
From perspective of PROCESS:
– Use of good procedures.
– Directly observable
– Results immediately visible
– Results may be flavored by available
resources
6
Effective Teaching Defined
“Patterns of classroom interactions that
consistently produce desirable student
outcomes in the form of higher test
scores, increased problem solving skills,
improved attitude toward subject, etc….”
– Borich. (1988). Effective Teaching Methods
7
Measuring Effective Teaching
Standardized test scores
– measured later and affected by all teachers
Accomplishment of SOLs
– measured later and affected by all teachers
Teacher-made tests
– unreliable, biased
8
Surrogate for Direct Measurement
Research tells us that Time on Task has
closest relationship to achievement
Time on task = time students are working
on appropriate, intended learning activities
9
Estimating Teaching Effectiveness
Degree to which:
– Task relates to curriculum
– Students are paying attention
– Students are following directions
– Students are working on assigned task
10
Effective Teachers Exhibit:
Clarity
Variety
Task Orientation
Engagement
Moderate-High Success Rate
11
Effective teachers Use:
Student Ideas Structuring Questioning Probing Enthusiasm
12
Four Major Effective Teacher Skills
Stimulus Variation
Repetition
Reinforcement
Examples and Non-Examples
13
Stimulus Variation
Kinesic Variation
Focusing
Shifting Interaction
Pausing
Shifting Senses
14
Kinesic Variation
Teacher Movement
Volume Variation
Get into Space
Move Behind
15
Focusing
Verbal
– This is Important, Write This Down, This
Will be on the Test
Gestural
– Point, bang on desk, point, gesture
Verbal-Gestural
– Point and “look at this!”
16
Shifting Interaction
Teacher to Student
Student to Teacher
Student to Student
Teacher to Student to Teacher to
Student
17
Pausing
Alert Students to Change
Promotes Thinking
Emphasize Key Point
Break Monotony
Regain Control
18
Shifting Senses
Hearing
Seeing
Smelling
Feeling
Tasting
19
Types of Stimulus Variation
Kinesic Variation
Focusing
Shifting Interaction
Pausing
Shifting Senses
20
Repetition -- Why Increase Level of Learning Prolong Retention
Repetitions/Time
Degree of Learning/ Retention
Ability to Recall
21
Repetition -- How
Restating another way Providing examples/non-examples to
illustrate Partial Reviews Massed Reviews Re-use skills in subsequent learning Practice, Practice, Practice
22
Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement– praise– grades– feedback– knowledge of results
Negative Reinforcement– constructive– suggests solutions, improvements
23
Examples & Non-Examples
Why?
Teacher Experiences
Student Experiences
Literature
“Made up”
24
Can We Talk?
What is Effective Teaching?
What is Time on Task
Why is Time on Task used as a
Surrogate for Effectiveness?
25
More Review
What Are Four Major Teaching Skills?
Why do we use Repetition?
Why is Reinforcement so Important?
What are Examples?
What are Non-Examples?
26
What is an Example of:
Kinesic Variation
Focusing
Shifting Interaction
Pausing
Shifting Senses
27
So What?
Program planning leads to a curriculum Curriculum planning leads to teaching
calendar Teaching calendar leads to lessons Lesson planning leads to methods We use teaching skills to implement the
methods
