A teaching method comprises the principles and methods used for instruction. Commonly used teaching methods may include class participation, demonstration, recitation, memorization, or combinations of these. The choice of teaching method or methods to be used depends largely on the information or skill that is being taught, and it may also be influenced by the aptitude and enthusiasm of the students.
Famous quotes containing the words teaching and/or method:
“The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. Love thy neighbor as thyself. Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (18841962)
“You know, I have a method all my own. If youll notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt. Now, according to Hoyle, after that the pants should be next. Theres where Im different. I go for the shoes next. First the right, then the left. After that, its every man for himself.”
—Robert Riskin (18971955)
