      • Reading/Writing: Prefers written text for comprehension.
      • Effective Strategy: Use a mix of styles to cater to diverse learners.

      Teaching Styles

      • Authoritative: Balanced between structure and student engagement.
      • Facilitator: Encourages self-learning and critical thinking.
      • Demonstrator: Uses examples and modeling to explain concepts.
      • Delegator: Gives students autonomy in learning.
      • Effective Strategy: Adapt teaching style based on students’ needs and subject matter.

      Effective Teaching

      • Use interactive and student-centered methods.
      • Provide real-world examples and applications.
      • Encourage active participation and discussion.
      • Continuously assess and adjust teaching strategies.

      Formative vs. Summative Assessments

      • Formative: Ongoing assessments (quizzes, discussions, drafts) to guide learning.
      • Summative: Final evaluations (exams, projects) to measure overall achievement.
      • Effective Strategy: Use both to ensure learning progress and achievement.

      Feedback

      • Timely: Given soon after the task.
      • Specific: Focus on strengths and areas for improvement.
      • Constructive: Encourages growth without discouraging students.

      • Nurture: Environment, education, and experiences shape development.
      • Balanced View: Learning is influenced by both genetic potential and external factors.
      • Effective Strategy: Provide enriching learning environments that foster both innate abilities and skill development.

      Active Learning and Discovery Learning

      • Active Learning: Engages students through discussions, problem-solving, and hands-on tasks.
      • Discovery Learning: Students explore concepts on their own rather than being directly taught.
      • Effective Strategy: Use inquiry-based activities, real-life case studies, and student-led experiments.
