7 LEARNING TASK

ON TEACHING STRATEGIES

INTEGRATIVE LEARNING
Integrative learning helps the students make connections and relevance between and
among subjects. It allows the learners to engage in purposeful, relevant learning. It encourages
the learners to see the interconnectedness and interrelationships between the curriculum areas
rather than focusing in isolated curriculum areas.
According to Pigdon and Woolley (1992) in an integrated curriculum, all activities
contain opportunities for learners to learn more about content through purposeful activities.

HIGHER-ORDER THINKING SKILLS

Higher order thinking skills known also as HOTS imply that some types of learning
require higher cognitive processes than others. Skills in analyzing, evaluating, and creating are
thoughts of higher order than learning facts or concepts.

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Verbal communication is the use of words in expressing one’s feelings and ideas.
Non-verbal communication includes the use of body language, gesture, facial
expressions, eye contact, and posture.
The use of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies is the first step in enhancing
communication and nurturing relationships which are vital in the teaching-learning process.
Strong communication skills are very important in the instructional process.

PERFORMANCE TASK 3: Enumerate the non-verbal cues you used to support learner’s
participation and engagement.

Non-verbal Cues Purpose(s)

1. Body Language Gestures can transfer the student’s attitudes

and feelings to others and the actions in
many cases can be even more effective than
verbal messages. Body movements can be
used to reinforce or emphasise what a person
is saying and also offer information about the
emotions and attitudes of a person. However,
it is also possible for body movements to
conflict with what is said.

2. Facial Expressions  Smiling - A smile generally indicates

happiness or contentment.
 Scowling - A scowl or frown indicates
discontentment or frustration.
 Lack of Expression - An
expressionless face can indicate, at a
minimum, two things. First, this can
be an indication or disinterest or
boredom. Second, and perhaps worse,
an expressionless face can indicate
disdain.

3. Proxemics Move around the room. Doing so helps keep

students’ focused and will give you an
opportunity to make more direct eye contact
with every student, not just those in the front
of the room.

Verbal Communication Strategies Used
learners in instruction
The better your communication skills, the
more effectively you can perform these tasks.
In turn, your students will make more
academic progress. Studies have found that
the success of students is directly related to
interactive, engaging teaching environments
Communicating with Students formed by able teachers. (Mashburn et al.,
2008).
The way that you communicate with your
students can positively affect their
perceptions of school, their role in the
classroom, themselves and their abilities, and
their motivation to succeed (Dobbs &
Arnold, 2009).
You can also use positive feedback to modify
students’ behaviour: for example, praising a
student for having their hand up is likely to
cause the students around them to stop
‘shouting out’ and copy this behaviour, in
order to be praised themselves (Howell,
Caldarella, Korth, & Young, 2014).
Feedback
Phrases such as ‘good job’ or ‘beautiful’ may
not motivate students, because they do not
understand what they are specifically being
praised for, while over-praising can cause
children to lack interest in situations where
they are not being praised (e.g. Howell et al.,
2014). As a result, you should give specific,
deserved positive feedback – use the
student’s name, explicitly state what they are
doing right, and thank them enthusiastically.

Create a safe and supportive environment

where students feel comfortable to open up
and express their thoughts and ideas. An
atmosphere that allows students to ask if
they need help is crucial to their academic
success. It is important that at all stages of
the teaching process that you nurture this
Create a safe environment kind of non-judgemental environment. By
having an open door policy and allowing

 students to pop in and talk about anything
that may occur is a great way to promote
good communication. Giving students extra
support, tuition or explanations before and
after class helps shy students that don’t feel
comfortable in class to ask questions to learn.
