Module 3: Teacher Intensive Strategies

Overview

The next 5 modules will focus on instructional strategies. Strategies are grouped into five categories which form a continuum from teacher-intensive to teacher-moderated to collaborative to learner-moderated to learner-intensive. The strategies answer the question "how is teaching done?” 

Module 3 is described as teacher-intensive because of the highly active role that the teacher plays in the teaching/learning process. The key strategy is lecture and it will be investigated as an appropriate strategy based on the learning objectives and the learning style of the learner. Preparing and delivering an effective, interactive lecture, using a variety of instructional media is the focus of module 3. Before completing the assigned readings for Module 3, reflect on the following:

• What is the most memorable lecture that you have attended (good or bad)?
• What made it memorable?

Objectives

After completing this module, the learner will:

• apply knowledge of various learning theories when choosing lecture as an appropriate teaching strategy;
• identify the behavioral objectives that can be accomplished using lecture;
• distinguish the learners and learning style and environments for which lecture is an appropriate teaching strategy;
• outline the elements of a well-organized lecture including the introduction, body, and conclusion;
• discriminate between features of an effective and an ineffective lecture; and
• demonstrate the rationale for incorporating various types of instructional media in the lecture.
