 6. Teaching Approach

Behaviorist
I will use behaviourist approach to teach facts, asking questions like:-

What is the career of your choice. I will link together responses involving
lower levels and create a learning chain to teach from lower order level to
high order level. Reinforcement will be used to involve all the learners.

Cognitive Approach:
Making learners skills more relevant to their background and experience
by anchoring learning tasks meaningful, e.g. authentic. give them chance
to construct own sentences. Teach them how to work together to solve
problems through group work.

Constructivist Approach
Learning strategies will be used to help meet a standard of performance
to reach learning goal. Make learner to think critically using their
knowledge. Ask “why” which means to develop the learners to the high
order thinking that promotes personal meaning in a situated context and
learning environment
