SELECTION AND USE

OF TEACHING
STRATEGIES

“Different folks, different strokes.”

Guiding Principles in the Selection and Use
of Teaching Strategies

1. Learning is an active process.

This means that we have to actively engage the learners

in learning activities if we want them to learn what we
intend to teach.

2. The more senses that are involved in learning, the

more and the better the learning.

For more and better learning appeal to all the senses of

the learner, if possible.
3. Emotion has the power to increase retention and
learning.

Involve the emotion in learning. Cognitive processing

is emotionally charged.

4. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to

students’ everyday life.

The meaningfulness and relevance of what we teach is

considerably reduced by our practice of teaching
simply for testing.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.

Good thinking concerns itself with higher-order-

thinking skills to develop creative and critical
thinking.

6. An integrated teaching approach is a far more

effective than teaching isolated bits of information.
Brain-Based Strategies

1. Involving students in real-life or authentic problem

solving.
2. Using projects to increase meaning and motivation.
3. Simulations and role plays as meaning makers.
4. Classroom strategies using visual processing.
5. Songs, jingles, and raps.
6. Mnemonic strategies.
7. Writing strategies.
8. Active review.
9. Hands-on-activities.
10. There is no such thing as best teaching method. The
best method is the one that works, the one that yields
