EDU 760 History Methods
1.0 Introduction Some educationists tend to classify methods of teaching in many ways e.g. traditional versus modern methods, teacher-centered versus learner-centered method. However, it is important to note that the skilful teacher uses as many methods as possible because of the fact that there is no single method, which will be regarded as best for every teaching situation. The success in using these methods depends on the purposes, the ability and nature of the students in the class and the subject matter that will be treated. Thus, it is better to have a knowledge and mastery of some of the formal methods of teaching irrespective of their classification. In this unit, we shall be looking at Lecture and Demonstration methods of teaching History. 39 2.0 Objectives By the end of this unit students should be able to (i) Define lecture method.

About, 90% or more of the time is spent by the teacher talking. The teacher presents information, ideas, facts and knowledge probably collected from books and expantiates on the topic while students listen and take notes simultaneously. It is a kind of verbal presentation of subject-matter with the students at the receiving end. Sometimes, the teacher dictates salient points, or repeats the points for emphasis. The teacher, at times, uses charts, filmstrips, projectors, and other visual aids to illustrate points. The method is commonly used in higher institutions, but could be modified for use in the secondary schools. Download 488.85 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
