they are divided in three broad categories- telling(lecture,discuss, instruction) showing(demo) and doing(heuristic, discovery,project)
lecture method - the most ancient method, little of no participation of learner. It has only one way of communication and thee are
knowledge provider and receiver
discussion method - interactive method of teaching between two or more groups of learners on a topic of mutual interest but with
no nal stage predetermined. It widens the perspective and strengthens self belief.
programmed instruction (skinner) - the teacher plans a structured teaching schedule for each learner in accordance to the ability of
the learner, contestant reinforcement is provided to strengthened the learning outcome.
demonstration method - learners are provided with a modal perfomance of skill demonstrated by the teacher in live form or
electronically operated.
heuristic method (armstrong) - learner centered method where learners are encouraged to discover knowledge for themselves,
involves placing students as far as possible in the position of discovery, the teacher poses the problem to the class and all students
work individually and explore possibilities based on their own observation and own judgement, the teacher observes and facilitates
students to reach to the goals
discovery method - student centered method allows learning by doing. Bruner . Teacher plans a set of activites that are highly
exible and the sequence of activities can be changed at any time. The teacher involve students in performing activites, doing
experiments, framing hypothesis, nothing observations and making inferences,
