Innovative Methods of
Teaching
We think of the effective teachers we have had over the years with a sense of recognition, but those who have touched our humanity we remember with a deep sense of gratitude.

Benefits of innovative
methods
-Improve Learning process
-Strengthen governance
IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION
All religions attaches great importance to knowledge and education. When the Qur'an began to be revealed, the first word of its first verse was 'Iqra' that is, read. A scholar (alim) is accorded great respect in the hadith. “Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man” – (Swami Vivekananda)
They are not students of our generation, where they sit down and listen. I think things have changed now; they want to explore, cut and paste.
ANALYSIS OF TRADITIONAL METHOD OF TEACHING
Pre-technology education context, the teacher is the sender or the source.
The educational material is the information or message.
The student is the receiver of the information.
The delivery medium
chalk-and- talk” method
overhead projector (OHP) transparencies.
In such a lecture students assume a purely passive role and their concentration fades off after 15-20 minutes.
LIMITATIONS
-Teaching in classroom using chalk and talk is “one way flow” of information
-Teachers often continuously talk for an hour without knowing students response and feedback.
-The material presented is only based on lecturer notes and textbooks.
-There is insufficient interaction with students in classroom.
-More emphasis has been given on theory without any practical and real life time situations.
-Learning from memorization but not understanding.
-Improve Learning process
-Strengthen governance

TEACHER THE GREATEST INNOVATOR
-Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
-To teach is to learn twice.
-Teachers should guide without dictating, and participate without dominating
-The critical factor is not class size but rather the nature of the teaching as it affects learning.
