Teaching methods are different ways of imparting knowledge to pupils or students in schools. Teaching is one of the best professions in the world because most professions and careers originated in education. That is why we must adopt many teaching methods so that students can easily understand topics as quickly as possible. Most problems experienced by school teachers today have a negative impact on students and they are mostly their adoptive teaching methods.

Teachers know the subject and topics very well, but have difficulties in teaching and imparting this knowledge and ideas to students, which makes it difficult for students to understand mainly scientific disciplines and mathematical subjects.

Poor teaching methods do not allow students to understand the subject, and also leads to failures in exams.

Let’s now look at different teaching methods.

Descriptive method

Teachers start by describing the subject and topics to students. For example, the table has four legs and a flat surface. It is used for writing, reading, and serving food. The teacher describes in detail everything he knows about the table and any other subject matter.

Question and answer method

Teachers begin to teach, asking students questions related to topics and based on themes and subjects that are at hand while students respond by finding solutions to the questions they are asked. For example, What is biology? While students respond by defining biology as the study of living entities, that is plants and animals.

The teacher then goes ahead to explaining the meaning of biology in detail and asked them additional questions about the subject areas at the end of the training or lecture.

The Experiment Method

The teacher uses an experiment to teach and impart knowledge to students. This is usually done in a laboratory or classroom with many experimental tools and equipment. This creates a long-lasting memory because the students undergo practical exercises that increase their learning speed. They even practice themselves to establish a level of understanding while teachers correct mistakes.

Field trip method

These methods assume that the teacher and students are going on a trip to see the things themselves, and the teacher assigned to this trip shows and explains to students what they have seen and what they have encountered.

These methods make an impression, and students develop a long-lasting memory of what they come across while on their trip, because they see, feel and touch with their sensory organs such as eyes, nose, tongue, ear skin, etc. This is one of the best methods used in environmental research and scientific research.

Listening Method

The teacher teaches while the students listen and he explains the various topics. All important points are explained to students while students ask questions about areas they do not understand. The teacher gives students an assignment after the lesson

Discussion Method

It is a method by which the teacher discusses topics with students in detail. It is a win-win situation, students ask questions in areas they do not understand. The teacher begins by writing topics on the board and discussing them with the students so to know the areas that need to be revisited
