This approach is often criticized and students are afraid of the teacher. • Learner centered Pedagogy: This pedagogical approach has many associated terms ( e.g., Constructivist, student centered, participatory, active), but generally draws on learning theories suggesting learners should play an active role in the learning process. Students therefore use prior knowledge and new experiences to create knowledge. Constructivist Approach • This is based on the central notion that learners construct their our own understanding of the world around them based on experience as they live and grow. They select and transform information from past and current knowledge and experience into new personal knowledge and understanding • • Constructivist Approach allows learners to be active in the process of constructing meaning and knowledge rather than passively receiving information. It fosters critical thinking and provides learners with a learning environment that helps them make connections with their learnings. • Since the construction is the process of learning, teachers have a big role like (a) to influence, or create motivating conditions for students, (b) take responsibility for creating problem situations, (c) foster acquisition and retrieval of prior knowledge, (d) create the process of learning not the product of learning COLLABORATIVE APPROACH • Collaborative learning (CL) is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. • CL is an umbrella term for a variety of educational approaches involving joint intellectual effort by students, or students and teachers together. Activities vary, but most center on student’s exploration or application of the course material, not simply the teacher’s presentation or explication of it. • In order to achieve a classroom where collaborative learning approach works, teachers must fully understand learners preferred learning styles and view of learning Classroom teachers shall use the following strategies properly 1. Online - Collaborative Learning 2. Jigsaw Method 3. Think- Pair- Share 4. Integrated Process Approach 5. Peer Teaching INTEGRATIVE APPROACH • The goal of such pedagogy is to enable the learner to master those situations he/she will have to deal with in his/her professional and/or private life. • • Integrative Approach provides learners with a learning environment that helps them make connections of their learning's across curricula. It focuses on connections rather than teaching isolated facts. • To this effect, pedagogy of integration has four objectives : • 1. Making sense of the learning process 2. Differentiating matters by relevance 3. Applying the learning to practical situations 4. Associating the learned elements Reflective Approach • Reflective Teaching Learning Approach means looking at what the teacher and learners do in classroom, thinking about why they do it, and analyzing about it if it works. • This is a process of self-evaluation cum self-observation. • Suggested Strategies: Self Evaluation and Self Reflection • Suggested Form of Assessment: Diary Presentation, Paper writing Reports, or Journals
