Assignment in Methods and Strategies in Teaching Business Courses
Define one methodology or strategy used in the following subjects. For each subject describe a classroom scenario using the said methodology/strategy. Specify the subject to be discussed a. Keyboarding The demonstration lecture is a teaching situation which can be imagined as arising in the course of the duties belonging to the post applied for. It is a lecturetype presentation. Effective demonstration lecture requires that the teacher should first identify the core concept that student will learn, in case of teaching keyboarding using the software typing master, every before the start of each lesson there is a part where the teacher should identify the keys needed to be mastered by his learners. The teacher then demonstrate what finger should be used in that particular keys. Then the students will now apply it with their own keyboard using the correct finger. There are exercises every lessons in typing master. It has key drills, paragraph drills, games, etc. The role of the teacher is to suggest activities for students, arrange typing tests, follow learners progress, and to view result at the end of the lesson. b. Marketing For the topic Product Planning and Development the discussion method for me is useful.
Discussions can be an excellent strategy for enhancing student
motivation, fostering intellectual agility, and encouraging democratic habits. They
create opportunities for students to practice and sharpen a number of skills, including the ability to articulate and defend positions, consider different points of view, and enlist and evaluate evidence. During your discussion you can also use brainstorming to make sure that your learners have an idea about your topic. c. Home economics Demonstrations are often accompanied by explanations. As with all explanations, asking your students questions, at the start and as you progress, can help you to
assess their prior knowledge and evolving understanding, enabling you to
reinforce and clarify points as necessary. Demonstrations often occur when students have a hard time connecting theories to actual practice or when students are unable to understand application of theories. This method is really important when teaching TLE subject because we are teaching them skills we need to show and demonstrate the learners how to do a task. Applying this strategy in teaching home economics particularly in bread and pastry production. After the teacher discussed the use and functions of all the ingredients and tools used in baking, the learners are now ready to perform a baking task, but before they proceed to that the learner needs to know the instruction or recipe of the baking product they will do, after that the teacher will demonstrate how to bake that product so that the queries of the learners will be answered. After that it is expected that the learners now know the procedures in baking that product. d. ICT You can also use the demonstration method in teaching ICT particularly in Computer Hardware Servicing. Demonstration involves showing by reason or proof, explaining or making clear by use of examples or experiments. Put more simply, demonstration means 'to clearly show'. Demonstrations often occur when students have a hard time connecting theories to actual practice or when students are unable to understand application of theories. The instructor usually gives the functions of each part of computer system before proceeding to troubleshooting a computer. The instructor demonstrate first how to assemble a computer unit before the student perform it.
