Competency Based Learning

• The purpose of teaching is to bring about a desire change in the learner’s behavior.

• Teaching should make a student different in terms of what he can do or accomplish.

• This change is normally brought about by the instructor employing a teaching strategy to accomplish his objectives.

• Different tasks call for different methods and techniques

• It also depend on the nature of the task, the nature of the learning objectives that are to be realized and the ability, aptitude, pre-knowledge and age of the students.

STRUCTURAL APPROACH

• The structural approach has considerable advantages.

• It enables a teacher to:– Select appropriate teaching tactics, depending on the classes of structure

involved in the task.– Demonstrate the relationship between different classes of structure.– Increase his student’s depth of understanding by using the innate structure of

the task as a vehicle for presenting facts and incorporating additional facts into the student’s repertoire.

– Present the information in such a way that it is more likely to be remembered.• It enables students to:

– Select appropriate learning tactics, depending on the classic structure involved in the task.

– Perceive the relationship between different classes learning objective and different classes of structure.

– Increase his depth of understanding by using the innate structure of the task as a vehicle for learning facts and incorporating additional facts into his repertoire.

– Remember the information once it has been taught.

Teaching Strategies

• Broad methods of instruction that includes:• Lecture strategies• Tutorial strategies• Lesson strategies• Case study strategies

• Teaching Tactics (Methods)

• More detailed aspects of instruction

• Same tactics can occur in every teaching strategy

Bruner’s Definition of Teaching

• Defines teaching as:

• Ability to simplify the presentation of information

• Generate new propositions

• Increase the actual manipulability of the material involved

TYPE OF LEARNING STRUCTURE

• These include:

• Signal structures

• Chain structures

• Multiple-discrimination structures

• Concept structures

• Principle structures

MATRIX ANALYSIS

• Developed by, Thomas, Davis, Openshaw, and Bird (1963)
