This Episode centers on the guiding principles in the selection and iuse of teaching methods.
It will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum and teacher
education curriculum are focused on outcomes, standards and competencies. This means that
lessons must be delivered with focus on outcomes. Likewise, this Episode dwells on types of
questions, questioning and reacting techniques that teachers make use of. The type of questions
that teachers ask and their manner of questioning and reacting to student responses have a bearing
on class interaction. This Episode strengthens the theories Ieamed in the course, Teaching Methods
and Strategies and in other professional subjects in Education
(G)_TARGET Your intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
> identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of
teaching strategies.
> determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with outcome-
based teaching and learning.
> identify the Resource Teacher’s questioning and reacting techniques.
> outline a lesson in accordance with outcome based teaching-leamning.
B REVISIT the Learning Essentials
These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
Leaming is an active process.
The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the leaning,
A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning,
Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
Leaming is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life.
‘An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits
of information.
Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and teaming, the
Department of Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its K to 12
Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has been
ahead of DepEd and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of Competency
moayayene
Cp Eee TO The maoctonal Oyeie Fielé Study 114Standards-Based teaching and Assessment, CHED requires all higher education institutions in the
country to go outcome-based education (OBE) in its CHED Memo 46, s. 2012. Outcome-based
teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE applied in the teaching-learning process. It is equivalent to
competency-based and standards-based teaching and learning in the Ktol2 Curriculum.
When you apply OBTL you
Ses
¢ to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and in tum
the A ment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes. In other words, in
OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes (lesson objectives). Then you determine
which teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and also the assessment tasks (ATs) you will have to
use to find out if you attained your ILO’s,
In lesson planning, the ILOs are our lesson objectives, the TLA’s are the activities we use to
teach and the AT’s are the evaluation part.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery learning of
Benjamin Bloom (1971), we were already doing OBE and OBTL.
Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the art of
questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of instruction.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.
Types of Questions that Teachers Ask
I, Factual /Convergent/Closed /Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions
With one acceptable answer
2. Divergent /Open-ended/High-level /Higher- | Open-ended; has more than one acceptable
order Conceptual answer

she was all smiles. What can you infer about
Liz?

3. Affective ¢.g, How do you feel?
112 ~~ Field StudyThese are also some of the reacting techniques that teachers use:
1. Providing acceptance feedback
2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4, Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer / expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening
13. Overusing expressions such as “okay”, “right”
