Other Approaches
1. Blended Learning
-a learning that is facilitated by the effective combination of different modes of delivery, models of
teaching and styles of learning, and is based on transparent communication amongst all parties involved
with a course.
-is also described as “integrated learning”, “hybrid learning”, “multi-method learning”. “It combines
classroom learning, mobile learning and on-line learning.”
2. Reflective Teaching
Strategies
1. Self- analysis
-a reflective students/ teacher is able to keep a record of his/her success or failure in employing
a strategy, problems and issues confronted and significance of learning events that occurred.
2. Writing journals
3. Metacognitive Approach
-the prefix “meta” means beyond.
“Students learn more effectively when they are aware on their learning of how they learn and know
how to monitor and reflect.” –Hamond
4. Constructivist Approach
-is anchored on the belief that every individual construct and reconstructs meanings depending
on the past experiences.
Constructivists view learning as an active process that result from self-constructed meaning. A
meaningful connection is established between prior knowledge and the present learning
activity.
Instructional Characteristics
1. Teaching is not considered as merely transmitting knowledge and information such as facts,
concepts and principles but rather as providing students with relevant experience from which
they construct their own meaning.
2. Constructivism is anchored on the assumption that “the absorption or assimilation of knowledge
is somewhat personal and therefore no two learners can build up the same meaning out of one
situation.
3. The instructional materials include learning activities and events rather fixed documents (law,
principles) that almost always are learned unquestioned and simply recalled.
4. The teacher’s role is to facilitate learning by providing opportunities for a stimulating dialogue
so that meanings could evolve and be constructed.
5. Lessons are activity-centered in order for them to experience or gain personal knowledge
through active involvement.
