• Models of teaching are instructional designs which describe

the process of specifying and producing particular

environmental situations which cause the student to interact

in such a way that specific change occurs in his behavior.

• The teaching models may be described as some sort of

guidelines, plans, techniques or strategies designed to achieve

the specific learning outcomes.

• Bruice Joyce and Marsha Weils developed four families of

teaching models.

• According to Bruce Joyce, “Models of Teaching are really

Model of Learning”.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A TEACHING MODEL

expected from the students.

FUNCTIONS OF TEACHING MODELS

•Designing of curriculum and courses of study•Development and selection of instructional materials.•Guiding the teacher’s activities in the teaching learning situations.

TYPES OR FAMILIES OF TEACHING MODELS

• Information processing family• Social family or social interaction models/Cooperative

learning models• Personal family or personal development models• Behavior modification family

INFORMATION PROCESSING FAMILY

• These models are designed to enable pupils to acquire and organize information, to identify, analyze and work out solutions to problems.

• These models are more concerned with intellectual growth rather than emotional or social development of individual.

• The models belonging to this family are

• Concept attainment model (Jerome s Bruner)

Laboratory method model

Jurisprudential model(Donald Diwer)

Group investigation model(Herbert)

PERSONAL FAMILY OR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT MODELS

These models are also concerned with realization of

instructional goals belonging to affective domain.

• The personal development models emphasize the process by

which individuals can establish productive relationship with

their environment and design their unique individuality for

realizing the personal goals.

• Examples are Non directive model of Karl Rogers, Synetics

model of William Gordon and Awareness training model of

Fritz Peris.

BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION FAMILY

• These models are related with behavior modification theories and evolve from the attempt to develop efficient system for securing learning tasks and shaping behavior.

• Operant conditioning, Programmed learning and mastery learning are some of the techniques employed in these models.

• Examples are the training model stress reduction model desensitization model

FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF A TEACHING MODEL

• Focus: means the central thing of a teaching model. It highlights the main objectives of the teaching model.

• Syntax: describes in terms of sequences activities which are called a phase.Synax means the detailed description of the model in action.

• Principle of reaction: While using thee model how should a teacher regard and respond to the activities of the student is a concern of this element.

• Social system: refers to description of the interactive roles and relationships between the teacher and the student.

• Support system: refers to the additional requirements beyond the usual human skills or capacities from the teacher and the facilities or schedules available in an ordinary classroom.
