0. Which of the following is the key behavior contributing to effective teaching?
- Option : D
- Explanation : 'Teaching for understanding' i.e., reducing
textbook information to concepts/areas of
critical understanding and presenting logical
step-by-step instruction/explanation around
big ideas is a key behaviour contributing to
effective teaching.
Several other research· based teaching behaviours or presentation techniques have been found to be effective for all students at all levels. For instance,
Explicit Instruction: informing students about what they are going to learn, what is its rationale and its relation with their previous learning and what learning outcome is expected of them; and providing a standard! model work for students to compare their output with.
Scaffolded Instruction: providing students continual support as they proceed but gradually reducing the level/quantum of help as students demonstrate competence in working independently.
