 Week 4 | 10 Types of Learning Strategies

There are two types of learning strategies that can be implemented in classroom which are either teacher-centered or student-centered learning. 

There are 10 strategies to further explained learning strategies stated above. 

1. Presentation

Establishing precious information on the lessons using visual aids such as Power Point or Keynote. It is considerably easier than reading from a book, but it may cause pupils to miss parts of the lesson since it is written in a simplified style that may skip certain important explanations.

2. Demonstration

This may be accomplished by a teacher demonstrating to pupils how to use scientific procedures step by step. This will assist students in correctly analysing each important step; but, because this is time demanding, it may result in longer session hours.

3. Drill & Practice

Done through a series of exercises, this method is particularly beneficial in learning Physics since it allows pupils to build mastery over a series of problems by repeating them. However, it is not appropriate for long-term lessons since it may become monotonous, and students can be misled by unique questions if they focus too much on the same pattern of questions.

4. Tutorial

It's a class where students may put what they've learned in prior sessions into practise. It is a fantastic strategy for providing students freedom to explore the material, but it may also cause students who are lost or do not grasp enough knowledge from prior sessions to get even more entangled due to a lack of supervision in the session.

5. Discussion

When a group of students actively talked a topic, it can help them get new insights, but it can also cause some of them to just listen without engaging in the discussion.

6. Cooperative

Students are divided into groups and must work together to complete a job. They can help each other in areas where they are weak. As excellent as it is, the size of the group may be a concern, as some people may insist on having a large group with all of their close friends, which can lead to an ineffective session spent chatting rather than finishing the work.

7. Games 

It is when teachers offer classes utilising a media that allows students to interact with one another, such as a quizizz or kahoot. It is a useful strategy since the entertaining components may elicit engagement from students, although students can lose sight of the games' aim at times.

8. Simulations

Queuing simulation utilising data series, for example, can be carried out using a real-life example on a smaller scale. It was beneficial because it offered students a peek of how what they learned in class might be used in the real world, although certain simulation processes are too complex to grasp during a class session.

9. Discovery

The teacher instructs the pupils on what they should investigate and how they should go about doing so. This strategy can help kids become more autonomous and develop critical thinking skills, but it can also lead them to do incorrect research and spread false information.

10. Problem-Solving

When the teacher presents pupils with a set of problems that can be solved using prior knowledge, such as linear motion. It was valuable because it offered them a peek of practical application in real life and gave them an understanding of what they might do with it. This strategy, however, might be problematic for teachers because it is tough for them to generate or locate a good collection of questions for it.
