“ The Deffrences Among Method, Techique, Strategy, Approach “

A. Method

Method is a way something is done. Perhaps used for routine tasks. Teaching
Method: Refers to how you apply your answers from the questions stated in Teaching
Approaches to your day to day instruction in front of your students. Do you follow the
textbooks and curricula to the letter with everything? Are you more of a Socratic
teacher and prompt discussion by asking questions to lead students to understanding?
Do you advocate learning by doing? Are your students expected to simply listen
attentively and take notes (not that any student really does that) with the hopes that
they can memorize the facts for assessment? This is not really a question of 'what
works for you' but what actual practices and procedures of teaching do you prefer and
come most naturally to you.

B. Technique
Technique is a procedure or skill for completing a specific task. I'd imagine
this would be used for predictable events, ie. solving a long division equation.
Teaching Techniques: These are the little sneaky tricks we all know and use to get the
job done in the classroom. Teachers all over have systems of rewards/punishments for
students who comply and exceed or defy and lag behind. If a classroom is becoming
distracted a teacher may use the technique of silent reading or shared reading to try to
rope them in again. Another may choose to use a quick physical activity to distract
their distraction and get them all to do the same thing at the same time - then quickly
direct them back to work. This is really where someone with loads of experience can
help another teacher improve her abilities. These are the tricks that can be taught to
another teacher. Sort of "I find this really helps during math class" type of
suggestions. Also a lot of the in-services and workshops all teachers attend offer little
 tidbits of games, activites, and actions that teachers can use to achieve certain goals in
the classroom. Everything from sending a note home to mom and a trip to the
principal's office to giving out 'points' for good behaviour are examples of techniques
teachers can use to keep ahead of the pack.

C. Strategy

Strategy in teaching is the ground work that describes why you would pick a
specific method in a given situation. Say you have a difficult child and your strategy
for the classroom is to keep a calm relaxed environment to facilitate learning. If you
see that the child is loud until they have a physical object to manipulate, you might
gear the lesson towards using blocks or tiles (a method,) so that your strategy is
maintained (a calm learning environment.)

D. Approach

An approach is treating something in a certain way. Experiments must be

approached the same way to repeat. Teaching Approaches: I would say that this is the
your own personal philosophy of teaching. What is the nature of education? What is
the role of the teacher, the student, the administration, the parents? To be an effective
teacher, does one need to strive to be authoritarian, to be autocratic, or is the best way
to engender a sense of trust and familiarity, to be a 'educating/leading friend' to your
students. To understand one's personal teaching approaches, one must first look to
answer these types of questions. And of course, your opinion will change as time goes
on - and it may vary depending on the students you're teaching. The difference is in
the scale of the thought. A strategy is an overarching way of thinking about a problem
or idea, whereas the method is exactly what you are going to do. Methodology in
teaching includes things such as using group assignments, testing, tactile lessons,
lectures, games, repetition and using examples. Methods are things that you can do.
