2. ABSTRACT/PURPOSE
Evaluate traditional methods of teaching as well as multimedia
teaching methods
Teaching must include two major components sending and
receiving information
Any communication methods that serve this purpose without
destroying the objective could be considered as innovative
methods of teaching.
Benefits of innovative methods
Improved Learning process

3. 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.
4. 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
5. WHAT GREAT TEACHERS SAY

Where, instructional methods are the instruments
When played alone they make sound
When played together in tune, rhythm, and feeling, they become
amazing music!
9. SELECTING AND USING A VARIETY OF

Instructional objectives:
Define method of Instruction
Discuss factors to consider when selecting a method of instruction
Distinguish between methods of instruction and instructional aids
Identify & discuss a variety of teaching methods

teaching methods.
12. WHAT FACTORS DO WE CONSIDER WHEN
