Selection and Use of

Strategies
“different folks, different strokes”
 Guiding Principles in the Selection
and Use of Teaching Strategies
• Learning is an active process.
• The more senses that are involved in learning, the
more and better the learning.
• Emotion has the power to increase retention and
learning.
• Learning is meaningful when it is connected to
students’ everyday life.
• Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
• An integrated teaching approach is far more effective
than teaching isolated bits of information.
 Learning is an active process
Nobody can learn for us in the same way that
nobody can eat for us, nor live for us, nor die for
us.

We have to give our students opportunities to

participate in classroom activities.
We have to go varied activities to our students
for “hands-on-minds-on” learning.
 The more senses that are involved in
learning, the more and better the
learning.
What is seen and heard are learned more than
what we just seen or just heard.

“Humans are intensely visual animals. The eyes

contain nearly 70% of the body’s receptors and
sends millions of signals along the optic nerves
to the visual processing centers of the brain, we
take in more information visually than through
any of the other senses” (Wolfe, 2001)

 Emotion has the power to increase
retention and learning.

We tend to remember and learn more those

that strike our hearts!

“Our own experience validates that remember

for a longer time events that elicit emotion in
us.” (Wolfe, 2001)
