TEACHING AND LEARNING METHOD

CHARMELYN S. YAMAT

Teaching and learning are just two sides of the same coin. In any method, certain steps are necessary as a guide to the learner.

A method is good if it causes a child to learn. By means of the classroom method with ICT integration the child’s personality unfolds and he learns to adjust to his surroundings. The child learns restraint and self- control. In group work, for instance, a child learns to cooperate with others. Dividing the class into committees gives children opportunities to develop their interests in collaborative activity. Today’s newer and broader concept of method places more on the why rather then the how. This is in line in teaching strategies which help learners to develop the ability to think, rationalize and make good judgements.
