Reviewing Models, Strategies & Methods

Models are general broad approaches to teaching. The instructional models are information processing, behavioral, social interaction and personal. There are many goals that go along with each model. For example, the behavioral model helps develop basic skills and knowledge while the information processing model equips students with knowledge, how to find it, use it and reflect on it.

The strategies throughout the models are a set of steps that a teacher follows in order to implement or achieve the learning objectives. The instructional strategies that can be implemented are: direct, indirect, interactive, experimental and independent study.

Methods such as lecture, debate, and inquiry are used to reach the most specific goals of instruction. A teacher's method is the most individual way to create a positive learning environment in his/her classroom.
